The Deadline render farm management system is a hassle free method
to both administer and render on Microsoft Windows-based render
farms of all sizes.
The following advantages/features differentiate Deadline from other
"render queue" and "render farm management" products:
- Ultra-reliable in operation: Deadline's unique "swarm"
architecture removes the need for any centralized "manager"-like
application.
- Modern, artist-centric and intuitive user interface: Deadline's
UI has evolved in response to extensive feedback from artists
thus instead of slow web pages, mysterious elite terminology,
or any strangely behaving multiplatform UI widgets there is a
single, integrated Monitor UI.
- Excellent support for modern rendering packages: in addition
to supporting all the standard command line renders, Deadline
also includes unique custom written interfaces for both
Discreet 3dsmax 5.x/6.x and Eyeon's Digital Fusion 4.x for
enhanced error reporting, efficiency and configurability.
- Extensive job scheduling options: numeric job priorities,
machine pools, named concurrency limits groups, and
job-specific machine blacklists allows one to handle both
limited license plug-ins and render packages in addition to
allowing one to explicitly control the distribution of
rendering resources among multiple departments.
- Administration and auditing: administration features are
optionally password protected and all modifications to jobs,
tasks and slaves are both logged and easily traceable.
- Integrated remote administration tools such as machine
statistics reporting (CPUs, disk space, memory, OS and
service pack), the ability to start/stop/restart both the
Slave application and machines remotely and the ability to
execute on remote machines arbitrary command lines.
- Remote error reporting: optional reporting of both render
errors and general application problems back directly to
Frantic Films Software reduces downtime and speeds up issue
resolution.
- Cost effective: affordably priced for both small, medium and
large render farms.
- Deadline now supports Softimage XSI 4.x!
