Yep, which makes sense as well. Client attend needs feedback as quickly as possible. It sounds like there’s been a large amount of work that’s gone into making shit that should fly, fly and stuff that has historically been slower, fly by means of utilizing system resources to their fullest extents. When those resources are exceeded then you lean on distributed processing. The details have been rather scant in terms of how it integrates with existing farms but internally if it were to manage its own queue similar to transcoding and export queue of Heiro, one can imagine it should work relatively fine for a single seat. God knows Autodesk’s forays into distributed rendering ala Burn have sucked imho. I much prefer the newer approach with an additional GPU to always render. That being said it’s still managed by back burner which in it of itself is a joke.
Perhaps Deke can shed some more light on that particular end of things though...
