Step 4: Managing Local, Pool, and AWS Fusers

Fusers allow you to share the demanding workload involved in processing the different build steps (data preparation, AT, point cloud, mesh model, texture, 3DML/other outputs) between several computers on the same local network. The master computer utilizes the computing power of the network’s client computers by connecting to PhotoMesh fusers on the client machines.

Fusers can be shared between several PhotoMesh Build Managers in your organization, enabling each machine running PhotoMesh to use the combined resources of all the machines in the pool. PhotoMesh can also work with Amazon Web Services (AWS), adding and terminating virtual fuser machines, to scale a project up and down based on resource needs.

See "Installing PhotoMesh Fusers" and "Uninstalling PhotoMesh Fusers" in the "Getting Started" chapter for information on installing and starting the fusers. See "Fuser Management (on the Master computer)" and "Fuser Auto-Scaling" in the "Fusers" chapter for information on managing the fusers, and the "Getting Started with AWS" chapter for information about AWS fusers.
