Kool Tools: Qube! render farm management solution
To satisfy growing demand in the automotive and design markets, PipelineFX (https://pipelinefx.com), which specializes in render farm management solutions, is releasing Autodesk VRED (www.autodesk.com) batch render support for Qube!, the scalable render management solution.
Available for free to Qube! subscribers, the VRED job type now includes the ability to use artist workstations as render nodes, a feature developed with US automotive companies during the beta program. With the new VRED job type, Qube!’s customers can leverage real-time clusters and workstations to achieve faster throughput while creating prototype and marketing materials.
As the first render management software to support VRED, Qube! offers a seamless path from trusted visualization package to the final frame that's been road-tested by leading automotive companies. With Qube!, single or multiple frames can be rendered on each worker at once, cutting down on the number of times the VRED renderer has to be launched. Pre- and post-scripts can also be written to align Qube!’s prioritization and database intelligence tools to any pre-existing design or graphics pipeline.
Automotive original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers are rapidly establishing Autodesk VRED as their enterprise visualization tool, so they now want help finding an efficient way to manage their render queue. Adding Qube! to the product offering allows Autodesk to recommend a tested and valued solution.
Qube! is a scalable render management solution that can be quickly integrated into any production workflow. Smart Farming delivers intelligence to production pipelines by providing business-critical insight into render pipelines. Qube! works out of the box with all leading content creation applications and is cross-platform with all software components available on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux systems.
