Hi Everyone,

I'm new to all of this, so this may be a "dumb" question, but is it possible to have a Linux server run backburner to manage our Windows based 3DsMax renders?

Any help would super awesome double appreciated!

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Backburner is available for Maya 2010, Max 2010 and XSI 2010. Maya/XSI version 2010 run on Linux, not sure whether the backburner is available for Linux version of Maya/XSI. If it is available, then it can be tied with the windows clients.

3ds Max is not available for Linux, but you can try Wine to run windows on linux (http://www.winehq.org/)? and install backburner.

Also there is Autodesk Burn, which you might be interested in.
