  • Preferences: This is a Preferences panel. You can choose which TCP port the Monitor should use for the network rendering and you can also specify the maximum number of nodes that should be used for network rendering. The TCP port setting is useful for networks that block certain ports. You can force any node to work always in Low or Normal priority, or to share a desired number of threads. You can also start the Manager and Render Node hidden in tray if you prefer.
  • Open temp folder: Opens the temporary folder of the Maxwell Render network where all the temporary files of the render jobs are stored.
  • Purge temp files: Use this option to delete all the temporary files on this computer. The temporary files are purged automatically when a render job has finished.
  • Save Log: Use this option to manually save the log in a location you choose. 
  • Find: On long logs, this option can be helpful to find certain message or info. 
  • Remove finished jobs: Clear all the completed network renders from the Jobs panel.
  • Clear console: Clear the messages in the Console panel.
  • Quit: Quits the Render Node application. 
Warning

Important: It is strongly recommended that you do not change the Port Range value unless you are an expert network administrator. It is critical that all the machines in the Maxwell Render network are using the same port, otherwise the system will not work properly.
