RenderPal is a useful, reliable and professional render management system for a high number of renderers and compositing tools, including Maya, Mental Ray, Softimage XSI, 3d Studio Max, Lightwave, Apple Shake, Adobe After Effects, Realflow and many more.

RenderPal V2 incorporates numerous new features and improvements, which were mainly based on comments and suggestions from our users. With large, high-end render farms in mind, we rewrote many parts of RenderPal to guarantee a stable workflow at all times.

Beside the improved reliability, managing and maintaining large render farms with ease is a key requirement of any solid Render Management System.

New features like the automatic update deployment, the Remote Controller (which supersedes the Job Submitter), and the ability to remotely configure clients make RenderPal V2 more comfortable than ever.

Another important aspect of RenderPal V2 are its flexibility and extensibility. Net job events allow you to execute programs, system commands or even Python scripts on various events that occur during the lifetime of a net job.

Custom renderers are easier to create now, and together with our Python support, it is even possible to create script based custom renderers.

The monitoring capabilities of RenderPal V2 have also been greatly improved. More information is visible to the end user, and the new net job chunk list allows for a detailed overview and control of a net job and its various parts. As often requested by our users, it is now also possible to remotely view events and output from any client.

To cope with the large amount of pools, clients and net jobs found in a render farm, we integrated view filters into RenderPal V2, which allow for showing only items that match certain user-defined criteria.
