New features in Shoran Software’s render management system include:
- Net Job Details Tab – contains six different panes that contain all kinds of information about a net job: information pane (general information), chunk list (a much faster version of the “old” net job chunk list), events and output logs (makes it easier to access the logs of each chunk), previews (contains a number of small previews of the rendered images of a net job), statistics (shows some useful overall statistics of a net job)
- View filters have received a major overhaul – multiple view filters can be active at the same time, which makes working with view filters easier and more efficient
- Net jobs can now react to ongoing errors by either pausing or cancelling the job, so that a faulty net job will no longer clog your render farm
- Colorized net job priorities – allows to quickly determine which jobs have a high or low priority
- In previous versions, clients always dropped their current jobs when they became disconnected. In this version, this behavior has changed: If a connection drops unexpectedly, the clients will continue to render their jobs, and once the connection has been re-established, they will report their current status (including any finished jobs) back to the server. This can save a lot of rendering time.
- Clients report their average CPU usage after a rendering
- Renderers now have the ability to report rendered images
Plus minor improvements, bug fixes and enhanced overall stability. More on RenderPal’s website.
