manual can instruct you further on the proper command lines needed to set up this
process. The following sections provide a complete tutorial on how to set up your own

Overview of ScreamerNet Rendering
The ScreamerNet software has two parts to it; the first resides in the LightWave layout program,
found under the Render,Network Rendering pop-up menu. This is the ???controller???
part of ScreamerNet. The second can be found in the Programs folder, found in the main
LightWave install directory. It??™s a separate program called LWSN; this is the program that
is run on the machines that are ???controlled.???
What Is ScreamerNet and How Does It Work?
The concept is relatively simple. One of the computers on the network is designated the
???master??? computer. This is usually the computer with the full LightWave installation on
it.
