Re: god mode in web GUI?

we've been using that password in Watch, not sure how to get it to work in web gui though? It does not work the same way as Watch, where you just type it and it is recognized, is there a field somewhere that we need to type into?

Re: god mode in web GUI?

Perhaps you could give us a configuration option to auto-enable god mode in the web GUI on the server side? We trust our users enough that the benefits of this would outweigh the potential for mischief.

Re: Auto-maximize render capacity

I can understand that it might be difficult to implement, perhaps there is a temporary solution that does not require as much work – in situations as described where there are idle machines but tasks still rendering, you could have an optional system wherein: The remaining tasks get re-submitted as ...

Re: "Skip Existing" option for all renderers:

Is this documented anywhere? Would love to get this set up, as it will make it safer to re-queue stalled tasks etc.

Need a more granular way to define capacity?

With each render, there is a different limiting factor. Sometimes it uses a lot of CPU, RAM, or VRAM, or the files are very large so network I/O is the limiting factor. With a single value defining what a render node is capable of, it is difficult for artists to determine what their render is going ...

Add GPU usage to Watch

A lot of rendering and simulation is happening on the GPU these days, but CGRU has no ability currently to monitor this usage, which means that issues with VRAM or under-utilization of GPUs are hard to catch at-a-glance the way RAM and CPU usage are now.

NIMBY for X minutes:

I know that there is a scheduler for NIMBY, but another useful option would be a "NIMBY me for ____ minutes or until ____ system resource goes idle". There are a lot of times when leaving for the night that there is a local process running for an hour or two that would cause a render to cr...

"Skip Existing" option for all renderers:

After Effects has a very useful feature that pretty much no other renderer offers: the ability to detect if a frame exists already, and skip re-rendering it if it does. While most renderers cannot have their current frame range reassigned without re-launching, a lot of them are able to accept a list...

god mode in web GUI?

This is sort of a 2-part suggestion/request: 1) On a high-rez monitor, the GUI of afwatch is so tiny it is pretty much unreadable, and there are no options to scale the interface. Increasing font size in the options just makes it worse. Because of this, the web GUI is easier to use. Also, not being ...
