Shade 10 ShadeGrid Manager
From ShadeCamp
The ShadeGrid Manager displays a list of the available ShadeGrid Server client systems on the local network and provides options for utilizing them for distributed network rendering.
ShadeGrid Server is compatible with the Ray Tracing and Path Tracing rendering methods. Radiosity, Scanline, Wireframe, ToonRenderer and CALLISTO do not support network rendering using ShadeGrid Server.
To open the ShadeGrid Manager, choose Rendering > ShadeGrid Manager.
