New features in PipelineFX’s render farm management system include:
- New tools for smart farming.
- System supervisors can now access Qube! via their smartphones (MobileView).
- Set priority limits for non-privileged users, and control how much of their workstation will be available to the render farm.
- Reporting Functionality: will display the reasons why a job is pending, allowing for quick and easy troubleshooting.
- New Administration Tools: GUI-based worker removal with a right mouse click; MySQL Check/Repair applied from inside the Qube! GUI; and “Studio Overrides” that let a system admin set up GUI preferences and defaults for the entire studio.
- More Job Types: Qube 6.4 adds Dynamic Allocation for Nuke & Houdini, eliminating the need for multiple start-ups or excessive data transfer times; improved V-Ray support for DBR (Distributed Bucket Rendering); as well as enhanced render elements support, better logging, and more effective termination of 3DS Max jobs.
