Hi, just a simple question to a small problem. Actually not a problem but... I just ask for fun.
So I have an animation lets say 300 images. I find out that 140 frames are done but since frame 50 there has been
an object moving which I didn't want to move. So I stop the rendering from BB, delete the frames which I don't want.
(then I delete the keyframes and re-send the animation to be rendered but with "skip existing images")
My farm computers vary from Super fast to not so fast. Backburner gives orders for all the farm computers to render
lets say 25 frames per computer. All fast computers are soon done but one or two slow computers still render those 25 frames assigned to it.
My question follows: AS the BB manager gives instruction for computers to render lets say those 25 frames -
CAN I say to BB manager / queue monitor that a computer could render just 5 images and then get new instructions from manager/monitor.
And as a bonus question; could it be possible that the fast computers would check "aaa that slow one hasn't done images, maybe I´ll take over". Just had a similar thing, fast computers were done, slow ones were still rendering.
~If the pref.index is higher and the computer is free from work, let it take over.
I´d think these improvements would make Backburner even more efficient.
Best regards,
