Rendering With the FileOut Node

Note: If Apple Qmaster isn’t installed but the sys.useRenderQueue plug is declared, a
message is sent to the console upon startup, and the following options do not appear.

renderQueue Options

The renderQueue parameter group contains the following options:

queueName
The name of the render queue software being used. If Apple Qmaster is installed,
“Qmaster” appears here.

useQueue
When useQueue is turned on, the FileOut nodes specified by the renderFileOuts
parameter are sent to the render queue when you click Render. By default, useQueue is
turned off. Setting renderFileOuts to All sends all FileOut nodes to the render queue
software. Setting renderFileOuts to Selected only sends the selected FileOut nodes to
the render queue software.

jobTitle
Enter the name you want to use to keep track of this job here.

workingDir
The directory in which you want to store the temp script used by the render queue.
The temp script is a temporary duplicate of your script that the computers in the
specified cluster can access to perform the job.
