If all your clients drop out, the Server will patiently wait until new ones come along and then begin assigning frames again. This sort of flexibility means no lost frames, no botched rendering jobs, and a lot of saved time. If there is an error in the rendering process, the Server will alert you through the browser of what the error is. Various accounts allow for a variety of people to use one copy of C4D Net. These accounts have priority settings giving certain users the right to up their project within the rendering cue.
Clients are cool.
Further, the client machine doesn't even have to be part of the same local network with the Server. As part of tests, I used Client machines that were part of the Server's LAN and machines across the United States and machines in Europe. Net will work with any computer with an Internet connection. Using scheduled tasks, you can even set up the Client application to automatically launch at night or when the machine goes to sleep. This is a screenshot of the Web interface connected to the server showing what Clients are connected and what it is that they are rendering.
