DR manager

[Dman3d]

We have been talking with Thinkbox about Vray DR capabilities with Thinkbox Deadline. We hoped to pool all of our nodes for farm rendering and DR. If we set a minimum #DRs and say 1 person begins to DR he would access all machines set to DR then when others needed to DR the machines would divide evenly among them automatically. When a machine completes it's buckets it would drop out from one job and take up another. Is this something that would be possible at some point? As it is we have to manually add/remove machines from the farm, not exactly efficient.

Thanks,

Hi,

V-Ray itself has the possibility to automatically add all DR render nodes as soon as they finish the current job. V-Ray spawner broadcasts a message when is free and could be used by another job, which is already running.

I think that this request should be addressed to the Deadline developers team.
