Hi,
I'm working as IT engineer, so far, don't know much about Combustion! Except that it's working fine on standalone station.
We got heterogeneous stations (Mac OSX and W2K) running Combustion. Actually these stations get frames and send back composited results into servers, it's well suited for the actual production pipeline.
But today, we would like to enhance the pipe and offer Combustion an access to the renderfarm (just a part or the whole), which is dedicated to Maya and Shake process.
Question is: Does anyone know some great tools to centralize render jobs posted from OSX AND W2K? The renderfarm is W2K but could goes to Linux. May be, with the new AE 6.5, that AE stations would also go into a such centralized renderfarm rather than a dedicated one.
If, as miracle, one of those tool could handle all type of renders (Maya & Shake) without much developpement (I know I'm asking the most!), it would be fan-tas-tic!!! As far as I feel the thing, I'm almost sure it will be some command line tool, which it's fine for the renderfarm, but I need a graphical part on the stations to send jobs to the queue.
Regards, RvP.
