The Distributed Rendering Bucket Render Element shows the name of the rendering machine that rendered any particular bucket when distributed rendering is used.


Overview

The Distributed rendering Bucket Render Element renders an image with each bucket shown in a different color, and a short text on each bucket naming the machine that rendered it. A bucket is a region of an image that is being rendered. The render setup must be set to use the Bucket image sampler, which divide the rendering process into render buckets. This render element is useful for assessing machine performance or for troubleshooting a distributed rendering process.





To use render elements, select from the Available render elements column and click the Add button to add the passes you wish to generate at render time. When you render the scene, the added render elements listed in the column on the right, will also render, which can be viewed from the VFB window's channel drop-down menu.

For more information on the parameters on this dialog, see the Render Elements tab page.
