Adding DR Servers after render has started - is it possible?

Subject says it all really!

Is it possible to force V-ray to refresh the DR server list in between frames so it can pickup any newly added servers?

My guess is that this only happens when using batch render and not rendering an animation. I can test it for ya.

Yes. Confirmed. Adding DR nodes after an animation has started, will include those nodes.

Hi valerostudio

Thanks for testing. Did you find that Dr nodes can be added after starting an animation only when using batch render? Or also when using normal animation rendering?

I haven't used batch render yet, but when I tested using the standard render method it didn't seem to add the nodes, though will try again today..

you have to have the nodes specified in the settings ahead of time. You can't add DR nodes to the list of nodes we look for, on the fly, but you can fire those nodes up on the fly and they will be included in the render process. Not sure if we re-check nodes after we are told they are busy though.
