Royal Render Main features

Works out of the box

You don't need any scripting TDs to get Royal Render running with all its features.

Job-checking and error-handling

The Royal Render Server distances itself from simple “fire render and forget” systems. A render job is not done when frames have been send to the render clients, no, a job is done if all frames are on your harddrive!
It lays great value on accompanying your render jobs. It handles errors from crashed renderers to visual correctness analysis.

Customisation

Change behaviour, add functionality and add render applications. No scripting language required.

User management

Royal Render has a built-in user management. Decide what users are allowed to do.

Monitor Jobs from anywhere

View a job's status, its frame completion bar, rendered frames or render log files from anywhere in the company, on the road or from home. No more babysitting at the company at the weekend. Or visit a café while you wait for rendering - your mobile will tell you how much time you have for tea.

Control Jobs

Control your job queue and change any parameters for jobs after they are sent. Including reorder/abort/reset/disable jobs in the queue, assign/deassign clients, change sequence length, render quality, post-scripts…there's nearly nothing you cannot change after a job was sent.

Cross Platform

All applications are available for Windows and Linux. Render simultaneously on multiple OS with some renderer applicaations. Required path conversion is handled via a Royal Render lookup table.

Client averaging

If you render multiple projects at the same time, the server averages the clients between your projects.  (Additionaly, RR supports job priorities, reserved clients and client assignment groups)

One Server – one point of failure?

A single Server offers a wide range of possibilities and advantages compared to a client-only network. The rrServer has multiple stages of crash/freeze detections that will keep your farm running rock solid. (Note: There is no render manager that works with *all* features and none that works with 75+ clients without a server app, no matter what they say on their front webpage)
