This tutorial requires Indigo 2.0.6 or above.

You will need one master computer, that will coordinate the rendering process.

You will also need one or more slave computers, that will be helping to render the scene.  For the purposes of this tutorial, the slave computers must be on the same local area network (LAN), and able to communicate with each other.

On the master computer:

Step 1: Start Indigo Renderer (indigo.exe).

Step 2: Open the scene that you want to render in the Indigo Renderer GUI using the "Open Scene" button.

Step 3: Press the 'Network Rendering' button to enable network rendering mode.

The image above shows the button in the pressed state.

Step 4: Press the start render button

On the slave computer(s):

Step 1: Execute the "Indigo Network Render Slave" shortcut.

Providing the network slave can find the master and connect to it on the network, it should then download the scene from the master and start rendering it:

You can view all network slaves that are helping with the current render by selecting "Network Rendering" from the combo box on the right hand edge of the Master GUI:
