OK I have been experimenting (after a good tut from sharkbyte) with Amazon's Ec2 - instead on networking to the cloud instance of the computer, I installed LuxRender on it and then started a render on my machine. I saved all the assets, .xls .flm and zipped it up and uploaded it. I resumed the flm. All seemed to be going well....

The longer it ran the more noise I got -

 

already some noise did not screen shot it quick enout

 

 

Loaded panel settings (for the custom light gains and film response I used on my laptop)

 

 

After about 5 mins

 

 

After about an hour

 

 

Light levels not changed (looks like it tho) progressively more noisy those

BTW, I set it up this way to free up my computer. The main objective actually. When I render in LuxRender I can almost not do anything else. So I was hoping to simply do the Render in the cloud and work on my next scene... well that was the plan.

Anyone have any idea's?

 

I used 2008 windows server (anything ending with X just baffles me :-) ). service pack 2 using a remote desktop connection
