Royal Render is made from fire-breathing eagles that shoot lasers of
awesomeness...
Also it's very good.

RR can be used free with 3 machines I think - meant to be trial, but
worth testing - it works very well - we use it on our farm and rendered last
weekend 6000 stereo frames at film res.

Thanks, Rui. That looks interesting. I will give it a try when I have
some downtime to install
and test.

Hi guys,
First i used to handwrite my own batch scripts...then moved on to Kim'
BatchMaker,although i had to hand correct/add some features ,like diferent
settings for diferent machines capabilities,matte passes for the weakest
machine, etc..
So i ended up having several scripts based on the KA BatchMaker's
generated one...and it worked very nicely for a long time...
Because i have just 2 machines for render,i didn't feel the need for a
full render manager.
I discovered Thinkbox Deadline a while ago,and it's my workhorse
managing renderings nowadays..
It's "free" if you have 2 render machines,and it works very well with
softimage and other vendors,it has an addon the allows you to submit your
renders from inside softimage,remote acess to manage your renders,assigns
passes to specific machines,creates dependencies,like this pass renders before
that one...etc..etc...i mean it's really nice and EASY to set up.
If you have a small shop,i have a go and try it..
later,
Rui

That is lame. Other than that, how do you like Rebus for rendering?

I put in a feature request at REBUS to enable and they just said to
delete the passes. That's a lame response. I am sure their system is sending
those batch commands somewhere along the way. They just need to open it up just
enough to let someone add those pass flags. I do use those a lot in the command
line locally.

1 advice:
I would customised the render farm to take in the -pass flag from
your submission page (add an input box or something to grab user's inputs) and
pass the following command (if input box is not empty) to render farm.
xsibatch -render myscene.scn -pass mypassName
Else if no input:
xsibatch -render myscene.scn

I am using REBUS render farm and it seems to be pretty quick and
economical. It only seems to render the whole scene however. Is there an easy
way to make passes not render when you hit render all? I assume that's sort of
what this farm is doing.
