Most of the render applications require to set the path to the executable for each client.


There are two exceptions:

  • The render application path is hard-coded in the render config file.
    Which means there is no <Exe> variable in any commandline. 

  • The render application was setup to be a Shared Executable. 
    Shared executables are located in the RR folder and cached by the client.
    For example Arnold Standalone, Blender or Nuke can be setup that way.



Installation Paths


On the first startup, the client adds all render applications to its config file.

If you install a renderer later, you have to add it via the client config.


If the auto find does work for the new render application, you can send a search command to all clients.

Or if it does not work, you can add your path to the auto search function.

See install_paths.



Auto version change


The rrClient has feature named "auto version change".

It is sufficient to add only one version of your render and the client will automatically change the version in the path to the one that is required.


It works only if your render apps have the same base path and the version number at the same place in the path.

For example:

C:\Programs\Maya 2024

C:\Programs\Maya 2025

C:\Programs\Maya 2026
