We are pleased to announce that our DLI_SNUB-Launcher GUI utility for configuring & launching LightWave 3D ScreamerNet network rendering is compatible with the recently released LightWave 3D 2015 and Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Not only is DLI SNUB Launcher Updated for LightWave 3D 2015, but we’ve updated the online manual with tutorials and posted it to our new WordPress based WebShop. Download a copy of DLI_SNUB-Launcher today to make LightWave 3D network rendering on the Mac drag-and-drop-dead-easy™!

We’re also pleased to note that NewTek based the Mac section of the Distributed Rendering chapter in their LightWave 3D 2015 manual on portions of our venerable old Mastering LightWave ScreamerNet (lwsn) for Mac OS X white paper that served as the genesis for this neat little utility.

From the LightWave 3D 2015 User Manual:

The explanation in these docs is mainly written by Mike Scaramozzino from DreamLight Interactive and are published here with his kind permission. Mike has spent many years rendering using Screamernet and has created a tool to make it all much easier with no use of Terminal required.

Hear What a Recent Customer Had to Say!

I really wished I’d filmed this…

I’m already rendering !!! I literally got the license a few minutes ago …. that was the quickest time I’ve ever set up anything…

Screamernet has literally brought me to tears in the past – in the fetal position on the ground…
I cannot believe how simple this was, how it gives you enough control to know what’s going on and shows you what it’s doing…

wow..

I’m very happy with your product.
Initially I was waiting for things to fail, or not work.. But it just worked. First time !

I got my render back in one hour instead of 7 !

all the best,

crisb.

p.s. In the past I was used to the IT people back at Digital Domain dealing with all of this, when we had literally thousands of machines at our disposal, I’ve now left LA and set up a studio in Nairobi, Kenya ! and I’m doing it all myself… Thank-you for making this part so simple, I was expecting insane headaches.
