RenderPal V2 - The professional Render Farm Manager

 

 

RenderPal V2 is a professional render manager, dedicated to network rendering across large render farms. From the artist's workstation to the rendering nodes, RenderPal V2 takes care of the entire rendering pipeline.

RenderPal V2 offers unrivalled functionality in an intuitive, easy to use way. With its proven stability and vast amount of features, it delivers an enterprise-level solution for distributed rendering.

 

Render Farm

Supporting a large number of renderers and compositing applications out-of-the-box, including Maya, Mental Ray, XSI, 3D Studio MAX, Nuke, Maxwell, Shake, After Effects, Fusion and many more, RenderPal V2 is the number one choice for a solid Render Farm Manager.

 

 

State of the art render farms demand an uncompromising set of tools, which need to be dynamic, flexible and stable. RenderPal V2 fulfills all these requirements, while still being easy to use. It is a fully dynamic software, which means that you can alter your render farm without interrupting the pipeline at any time. No matter if you add new clients, remotely change their configurations or just want to perform some maintenance tasks, it can all be done on the fly.

 

Power and control are two other important aspects of every Render Farm Manager. With RenderPal V2 and its comfortable user interface, monitoring and controlling even the largest render farm is a child's play. RenderPal V2 can even be extended beyond its already vast amount of features in several ways, from creating your own renderers to writing net job events based on a Python script.

 

RenderPal V2 comes with a huge set of features. Easy render parameters overriding, various splitting options (frame splitting, image slicing and additional, render-specific splitting) and automatic checking for missing frames are just a few of them. Path maps make working with multiple platforms easy, while the automatic update deployment eliminates the burden of manually updating an entire render farm. To get an overview of what RenderPal V2 has to offer, take a look at our Features section and the various Screenshots, or browse through the RenderPal V2 manual.
