be assigned to a mesh object that will in turn drive a rig set up made
up of bones and in the case of this tutorial a set of ponytails.

Setting Up An Unattended Render.
One of my first tutorials. In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to set up a network render on a single machine. The benefit of going this route on an unattended render is even if Max was to crash the network manager would pick up from where it left off.
