SMPOV Version 4.6 Distri 2 Released
You might recall our post about distributed rendering using POV-Ray and MegaPOV from Theo Gottwald. He’s updated his program to version 4.6 Distri (release candidate) 2. Here is what has been going on since the last version:– Again new, more easy Installation.
– more new Icons
– Package cleaned up
– RenderAgent now suggest a folder, and remembers the folder properly.
– New Minimizer-Sollution, for working on the PC while it is used for Rendering. Minimizes, Hides and changes CPU-Priority.
– Should work with any POV 3.5/3.6 and Mega POV 1.21
– POV-Ray 3.7 does not work with this version, it seems to produce only TGA-Files, we need BMP’s to merge them.
– Internal Optimizations, RenderAgent now takes Jobs faster.
– Installs Icons in Startmenü, Quickstart and on Desktop.
– Automatically uses POV_Settings.exe afer Installation.
– Silent-Setup-Robot included – will make the complete installation without user interaction.
This is just a pre-Release, which replaces the version 4.4.
Final 4.6 Distri 3 release in next days after some Tests.
Looking forward to 4.6 rc 3!
Distri 3 is ready for download. New RenderAgent, should start things faster, using a random-job algorhytm.
Internal changes, no more extra-minimizer. No more internal use of batch-files. Its all integrated in the new RenderAgent (which is still in developement).
