Hi Viche I think the part that may seem unclear is how the network machines are connected. If you have a LAN + 3 PCs PC #1 = Vue Installed (HyperVue Manager) + RenderCow Client PC #2 = RenderCow Client only PC #3 = RenderCow Client only RenderCow Client is a small utility included with V5I that you can install (License included for 5 nodes) on systems you wish to work on renders/animations. So - only ONE of your systems needs to be running Vue, which contains a HyperVue Manager which manages the 'Cows'. Now technically you might be able to Render across the internet (e.g. friends PCs with RenderCows), but the real-world issues are security/firewall and slow upload speed of the internet (not download) when HyperVue Manager sends scenes from your system to the remote RenderCows. So... the long winded explanation of what Bruno said >8o) of why: Yes - you can render on 3rd party systems with RenderCows installed, but they will almost certainly have to be on the same LAN. Hope this helps!
