OpenCue is an open source render management system. You can use OpenCue in visual effects & animation production to break down complex jobs into individual tasks. You can submit jobs to a configurable dispatch queue that allocates the necessary computational resources.
OpenCue provides the following features to help manage rendering jobs at scale:
- Sony Pictures Imageworks in-house render manager used on hundreds of films.
- Highly-scalable architecture supporting numerous concurrent machines.
- Tagging systems allow you to allocate specific jobs to specific machine types.
- Jobs are processed on a central render farm & don't rely on the artist's workstation.
- Native multi-threading that supports Katana, Prman, & Arnold.
- Support for multi facility, on-premisses, cloud, & hybrid deployments.
- You can split a host into a large number of processes, each with their own reserved core & memory requirements.
- Integrated automated booking.
- No limit on the number of processes a job can have.
