Simplygon Grid

In Simplygon 9 we have simplified Grid and has removed a lot of overhead. Instead of a server/client based approach, Grid is now using mDNS broadcast to locate Grid agents. To submit a processing job to available Grid agents on your network, all you need to do is to create a pipeline using C++, C# or Python or use the Simplygon UI in our integrations and select Grid as the distribution target.
Here is an example of a simple batch script using Grid.

This example shows how to do batch processing using Simplygon Grid.
