No ready nodes available

[berarma]

I want to test this software to see if it fulfills my use case needs. I have a slow computer and a faster computer and I want to render images from the slow computer using Blender.

Everything goes relatively well until I try to render. There's two nodes that I leave disabled corresponding to the local host (the localhost IP and the network IP), and an active node, the fast computer.

There's one node in green and two in red. When I hit Render I get the message: "No ready nodes available".

Do you need more info?

Thanks for creating this software and sharing it.

Seeing how you have a green node that means you are connected with the computer. The only way "No ready nodes available" would show up is if when you click render:

• The None of the connected nodes are synced
• You explicitly click No when asked to sync Generally a unsynced node has a yellow name. "Syncing" the nodes means transferring the blender file to said node.

"ready render nodes" are nodes that are:

• Connected (green dot)
• Synced (green name)
• Have the file (pass a sync check)
• Have the Blender version (Pass version check, automatically downloaded when connecting, this may take a minute)
• Is not busy (pass a busy check) If any of the above is false, the node will not be considered valid, as that means it cannot be used. Generally you don't encounter these, so I suspect its either the node didn't finish downloading the version (which it should clearly indicate its downloading), or you didn't let the application sync the node.

Without more info this is all I can tell you, I hope it helps.

Thanks! It's solved.

I had a connected node that wasn't synched. I thought I was being asked to connect the other nodes when it was asking to synch instead. I didn't understand the difference between connected and synched.

The interface is a bit clunky but it's really easy to install and make it work. Thanks for this software.
