Hi!
At the moment, we use different render machines for 3D and comp renderings (3DS Max/Vray and Nuke), which is not a perfect solution for the size of our company. So I'm thinking about using one renderfarm for all, managed by Rush. Now there is one question:
How would it be possible with Rush to dynamically balance the amount of machines that are rendering 3D and comp setups based on current needs and/or time of day? During normal working hours, it would be helpful to designate more machines to Comp renderings, at night all the machines should render 3D. This could be done with normal priority and grouping functions of Rush. But sometimes it would be helpful to temporarily use more machines for 3D during normal working hours.
Are there any concepts for re-prioritize already running jobs in a global way? Something like a big percentage slider where I can manually change the proportion and all the running and queued jobs will use this new setting?
Hope this makes any sense. But I'm absolutely open for any better solution/way to deal with the limited amount of renderers we have, using them effectively for 3D AND comp.
Thanks, Abraham
