Ive not installed anyother programs - this was a clean download for the Luxology website, and ontop of a fresh Ubuntu install, but ive just done a quick search and this is what they say: > Can you explain some more about the performance of the network rendering capabilities of modo? > > > modo?s built in distributed rendering is based on Bonjour. Bonjour comes with every Mac computer and is bundled with the Windows version of modo. You can use a combination of Windows and Mac machines to render across a network. Once a Bonjour connection is working between your master computer and other workstations that have modo running in ?Slave? mode, modo will show the buckets being computed by other computers as different colors in the render window on the Master system. > > > ..................... > >
