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
