Vue 7 RenderCows
RenderCows allow the network rendering of Vue scenes only.
By default, Vue 7 Infinite and Vue 7 xStream ship with the ability to render on 5 RenderCows. On top of this, additional RenderCows can be purchased separately from the main application, in packs of 5 or 25.
RenderCows are managed using HyperVue, Vue’s internal network rendering manager. They cannot be managed by any other kind of network rendering manager (such as Qube, BackBurner. You need RenderNodes for this, see below).
RenderCows can be used with both Vue 7 Infinite and Vue 7 xStream, however, in the case of Vue 7 xStream, the RenderCows will not be able to render integrated Vue scenes (xStream scenes). They will only render Vue content.
If you need to render integrated xStream scenes (.max, .ma or .mb, .c4d, .lws, .scn), you will have to use Vue 7 xStream RenderNode instead.
Vue 7 Infinite RenderNodes
Vue 7 Infinite RenderNodes supersede the Vue Infinite RenderBull.
The Vue 7 Infinite RenderNode license will enable you to use a 3rd party network rendering application to manage and distribute the rendering of Vue scene files (.vue) over a network of computers.
The Vue 7 Infinite product does not include any RenderNode nodes. Vue 7 Infinite RenderNode nodes can be purchased individually or in bulk. The price for one node of Vue 7 Infinite RenderNode is $99.
You should contact our sales department for any order above 5 nodes to benefit from a large quantity discount. (largequantity@e-onsoftware.com)
Vue 7 Infinite RenderNode licenses require the use of the e-on License Server - $495 (this is mandatory). If you have already purchased the e-on License Server with your Vue 7 license, there is no need to purchase it again.
RenderNodes are sold on a “per workstation” basis (i.e., one per machine, and not one per cpu).
Example: for a network of 50 Quad core computers, you will need to get one 50 node license.
Vue 7 xStream RenderNodes
The Vue 7 xStream RenderNode license will enable you to use a 3rd party network rendering application to manage and distribute the rendering of both Vue scene files (.vue) AND xStream scenes (.max, .ma or .mb, .c4d, .lws, .scn) over a network of computers.
Whereas Vue 6 xStream required the purchase of 1 license of RenderNode per renderer, the new Vue 7 xStream RenderNode is now able to render with all renderers with one single license (3ds Max Mental Ray, Maya software, Maya Mental Ray, XSI Mental Ray, LightWave software, Cinema4D software, Mental Ray standalone – other renderers are under consideration).
The Vue 7 xStream product does not include any RenderNode nodes. Vue 7 xStream RenderNode licenses can be purchased individually or in bulk. The price for one node of Vue 7 xStream RenderNode is $149.
You should contact our sales department for any order above 5 nodes to benefit from large quantity discounts (largequantity@e-onsoftware.com)
