Does anyone know if it's possible to render walkthrough's in Revit using "distribute rendering"? I know rendering a walkthrough takes a while, but for a walkthrough of 400 frames at 5 fps with a image size of 72 dpi, it's taking 16 hrs. just to get to 17%. The computer I am working on has a single 3.20 GHz processor w/ 1GB of RAM . . . is the distribute rendering possible with Revit? . . . do I need more processor speed?

Good question, I think alot of people would like to know the answer! And if there are any keen computer programers out there reading this, there is a stack to be made on a small plugin to Revit that will allow users to farm networked computers!

You can set different frame ranges to render on different computers. But that's the best you are going to get. IE: frames 1-100 on one computer, 101-200 on another. The only issue is you may experience slight lighting differences between each segment, as revit uses the first frame to of the exported sequence to calculate the lighting for the remaining frames. HTH.

I know this is an old thread.... In regards to rendered walkthru, can you render a frames in sections (i.e., 1-500 , 501-1000, 1001-1500 and so on) using the same file? (this warns you that it will be a read only) but you I think you can still save the walkthrough file(s). In otherwords, multi-tasking using a single computer. Have you guys tried this procedure and did it worked? Let me know. Thx.

Well... guess what?! It did worked. I used a single computer and open the same file in multiple-Revit Apps. It works great! rather than waiting for the other one to finish...why not run them all together at the same time. Sweet!
