If you want to change the settings for the backburner Manager then go to the “Edit” drop down menu and select “General Settings”. With the Backburner Manager Started you can continue on to setting up the render nodes, or you can change the settings for the Manager. In Apps View scroll until you get to the Autodesk Groupings, look for “Autodesk Backburner 2015” then launch “Manager”. In Windows 8, 8.1 or Server 2012, Server 2012 R2 go to the “Start Screen” then select the arrow in the lower left corner of the screen to see the loaded applications in Apps View.

Since the server will not be joining in as part of the render node team, I’m installing Backburner by itself. This is the model that Autodesk recommends in the Backburner install guide and is highlighted in this picture from the install guide.īackburner Manager Installation and setup on a server There are multiple ways to configure Backburner, but I’m going to concentrate on installing Backburner Manager on a dedicated server, Backburner Server on the Render Node and using Backburner Monitor on a user computer. Autodesk backburner can also be downloaded individually for installing the Backburner Manager without 3DSMax
