To complete the installation follow these steps:

1.You will be presented with the V-Ray licensing agreement. Please read carefully the agreement. Click the I agree button, when done, to proceed:


2. Next, you can select Revit version you wish to install V-Ray for. You can also opt-in for the latest version of V-Ray Swarm.

3. At this step, the installer detects the root folder automatically. You see the following options:

a. Specify installation paths – please check if the default folders are correct.

b. V-Ray Swarm Enabled - Turns V-Ray Swarm on or off. If you have clicked the V-Ray Swarm Enable, you will be able to adjust some installation settings:

c. Don't use local machine – Enabling Don't use local machine will exclude the local machine from rendering; however, Swarm will continue using a small percentage of the local machine's resources to communicate with the nodes.

d. Goal – Sets the desired percentage of utilization of available resources. Computers added or removed to V-Ray Swarm will be taken into account automatically.

e. Network Discovery – controls how a Master Node is selected. The Master Swarm Node is the machine which can communicate with the greatest number of render node machines. By default, V-Ray Swarm's Network Discovery is set to use auto-discovery.

Auto-Discovery - On/Off

f. Tags - Tags allow you to tag this node with a descriptor that defines something about the machine, which we can later use to selectively control from inside of Revit.

When Tags are being selected, they should be separated with a comma.


g.
If you have disabled the Auto-Discovery option, you will be able to adjust some installation settings. For more information about Auto-Discovery and Configuration please visit the V-Ray Swarm page.

h. Master Swarm Node IP – allows the custom configuration of the Master Node. This option is suitable if there are more than one subnet on the LAN, or if you want to dedicate one or more machines to be Master Nodes.

You can either enter only the IP address or the IP along with the port (note that the syntax is IP:port).
