3. Decide which computers will be used as Render Nodes.
4. Pick one computer to be the Master.
5. Launch the Render Node application from the Start Menu on all computers that were selected to be Render Nodes.
6. For each Render Node application that is running
6.1. Select File > Preferences.
6.2. Select “Application” from the drop down menu in the Preferences dialog.
6.3 Verify that all running Render Node applications show the same number for “Port1:” By default this is 5020.
6.4 Click OK to close the preferences dialog.
7. Go to the computer that was selected to be the Master and launch the Carrara 7 Pro application from the start menu.
8. Select File > Preferences.
9. Select “Render Room” from the drop down list.

18. Switch to the Output tab and Click “Set File Name” so that the resulting render is saved where desired.
