Configuring the Frame Server on Render Machines for Foundry Nuke Studio Logo

In order to leverage the power of Nuke Studio's Frame Server and render your projects efficiently, you'll need to run the `runframeserver.py` script on your render machines. This script can be found inside the Python site-packages directory. To get started, follow these steps.

The first step is to determine which command line arguments you'll need to use when running the `runframeserver.py` script. The specific arguments will depend on your project's requirements and the number of render machines you're using.

One important consideration when setting up the Frame Server is licensing. If you want to use an interactive license (`nuke_i`) on your render machines, be sure to add the `-useInteractiveLicense` argument to your command line arguments. This will allow you to utilize the full range of Nuke Studio features on your render machines.

When running the Frame Server on your render machines, note that local processes use ports 5558-5662. It's also important to keep in mind that while a Nuke Studio license (`nukestudio_i`) is required on your main workstation, you'll only need a Nuke render license (`nuke_r`) on each of your render machines.

By running the Frame Server on your render machines, you can accelerate the rendering process and take full advantage of the power of your network. This is especially useful for large projects that require extensive rendering capabilities. With the Frame Server, you can distribute your workload across multiple machines, greatly reducing the time it takes to complete your project.

Overall, configuring the Frame Server on your render machines is a simple yet powerful way to unlock the full potential of Nuke Studio and take your projects to the next level.
