Trying to speed-up render times on a large single-frame Cycles image by using netrender and a spare machine. The spare is running (in separate terminals) a master and a slave, and the main computer is running a client and another slave.

Pressing F12 from the client works to render the image, however only the slave on the client machine is used. Killing that slave will then cause the slave on the spare to be used. It does not appear possible to have them work in concert. Is it correct to conclude that netrender only divvies frames to slaves, not tiles?


Question: Fedora manual installation and dependencies
Answer: I'm running also Fedora.

What I have done was:


Installation of a minimal tetex system using yum (so that the other dependencies are met)
Installation of TexLive in /opt/texlive
Configure PATH and ?TEX? variables to use /opt/texlive... (add the /opt/texlive/.../bin to be before /usr/bin, so that the Texlive executable are found first
