Work distribution ​

This guide will show you how to enable workload distribution when running Simplygon tasks.

The Simplygon Unreal Engine plugin supports three different methods for distributing work: Simplygon Grid, Incredibuild and FASTBuild. This example will use Simplygon Grid but the concepts are the same for the other two methods.

1. Start the distribution agent ​

Make sure "Simplygon Grid Agent" is running. See Simplygon Grid guide for more details.

2. Enable distribution ​

Enable distribution by checking Edit → Project Settings → Plugins → Simplygon Plugin → "Use Distribution", see figure 1.

Make sure the "Distribution Method" is set to your chosen method, in our case that is "Simplygon Grid".

3. Run a process ​

Now you should be able to start processing and the distribution will be handled automatically behind the scenes.
