Welcome to renderpal.com

This new update for RenderPal V2 brings many improvements and convenience enhancements, as well as several smaller bug fixes:

The dispatcher will now take into account clients that are already being woken up in other pools. This results in far less "excessive" clients being requested, and so your render farm will run even more efficiently.

Another nice enhancement is the ability to select multiple clients in the main client list. Now it is possible to perform an operation (like shutting down the clients or disconnecting them) on more than one client at the same time.

Last but not least, the remote controller will now only download the renderer definitions from the server when necessary and will otherwise use its locally stored version, greatly reducing login times and network traffic (especially when using the console RC).

There are also many other smaller improvements as well as several bug fixes in this release; use the link below for a full changelog.

We are happy to announce the release of a new major version of ImageKlebor: ImageKlebor 2.0! This new version has been completely written from scratch, and it brings many new exciting features and capabilities (it can hardly be compared to the old ImageKlebor).

ImageKlebor 2 is especially interesting for RenderPal V2 users, since its command-line interface can be used to easily integrate ImageKlebor into the RenderPal pipeline. Now you can let RenderPal put back together your image slices automatically!

The new version can be downloaded for free; it is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

The fourth point release of RenderPal V2 is a true milestone: it brings a totally new, highly advanced renderer system, as well as plenty of other new features and improvements.

The most important new feature is the new renderer system. Every aspect of a renderer can now be defined, from its supported parameters to how the passed commandline should be compiled. All this is done through an easy to use graphical editor built right into RenderPal V2, there is no need to edit any source files by hand. To get an overview of what this new system has to offer, read the Release notes for this new version.

Chunk reporting has also been greatly improved in this release. The history of a net job chunk is now a true event log, showing all events of a chunk - from errors that occurred while rendering to other pieces of information that might be helpful when taking care of net jobs.

When editing multiple net jobs, it is now possible to select the setting groups which should be applied, leaving all other groups untouched. This way, you can, for example, only edit the frame splitting settings of those net jobs without changing any other value.

It is now possible to use placeholders for the image directory path when using automatic frame checking. These include any parameters that can also be used for splitting: the scene name, the current camera or render layer and so on; RenderPal V2 will then replace these by their corresponding values. If the renderer uses a directory hierarchy when outputting images, this feature ensures that the frame checker will always look in the right place for them.

This version also introduces the possibility to set a maximum number of render attempts for net job chunks. If this maximum is reached, the chunk will no longer be picked up for rendering. This way, ”bad chunks” can be spotted with ease, and the render farm will not try to render a chunk that will fail anyway again and again.

There are also numerous smaller additions and improvements (and several important bug fixes), like OS-specific path map entries, flood protection for renderer output, improved automatic net job cleanup, many Python improvements, new options how the GUI should be minimized and much more. You will also notice many user interface improvements, especially when using themes under Windows.
