Dedicated Render Box With Daz Studio?

I ordered Pascal Nvidia cards, with the wait for Iray support I think I'll use the old cards for a dedicated render box - I could use that anyways since I could use it to render near 24/7.  smiley

 

I'm guessing it isn't recommended to point that box's library to a network share on the primary computer?  It should have it's own local copy of your content?

Assuming the latter, I assume I can just copy the folder over, rather than install everything from DIM?

    I believe people have successfully used network locations (I think Cypherfox uses Dropbox), but it may take some setting up.

    When I set up my render box, I simply copied the content directories across to the new computer, using a high capacity USB drive.  I don't use DIM or DAZ Connect, however. I'm not sure about DIM but this technique definitely would not work for DAZ Connect. 

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Hmm, alright.  I went ahead and ordered a HDD for this sytem, they're cheap enough now.  It has a 90 GB SSD which certainly won't hold the OS + content.

    I'll copy the directories like you did Alex, I figure it can also serve as a library backup as well.  I do have a few Daz Connect items, I'll have to see how that works.
