RenderCow has to be installed on each computer of the network. When RenderCow is busy on the 2 or more machines from the network, you can always click its icone (on each computer) to know what it is doing right now. On the machine where Vue is installed (the principal machine) there will also be HyperVue Network Render Manager. It is a kind of a control center that dispatches rendering jobs to all the RenderCows on your network and then collects the resulting images once they are completed. While rendering on RenderCows, you do not see any render, you just see what's written in the rendercows and what they are doing, as told before. More questions? I don't know how exactly it works with multi processor as I don't have it. I'm not good in animation (and not in Poser either), just a beginner who trys and hopes to become better:-) Guitta
