Linux RenderNodes

The new Linux RenderNodes are able to render any Vue scene including those with content from Cornucopia3D. The development of an xStream Linux RenderNode, compatible with Linux versions of Maya, Softimage and Cinema4D, will be considered if market demands.

Porting the Vue application to Linux is not planned at this date.

Requirements and Pricing

The Vue Linux RenderNodes retail for $300/seat and licenses are immediately available from e-on software's online store. Linux RenderNodes are subject to a 20% yearly renewal fee.

Linux RenderNodes currently run on CentOS 64 bit Linux distribution, Kernel 2.6. Facilities interested in purchasing Vue RenderNodes for other Linux distributions should contact e-on software for availability.

Linux RenderNode licenses require the use of the e-on software license server 3.5. RenderNodes also require the use of any 3rd party network rendering application to manage and distribute the rendering of Vue scene files over the network of computers.
