Using Apple Qmaster
 For Shake processing batches, you can drag Shake files into the Apple Qmaster
window. A default script for submitting the jobs is automatically created. In
Apple Qmaster, you can then specify certain details, such as which cluster to use, and
make adjustments to certain settings.
 For Maya batches, there is also a special interface within Apple Qmaster for
submitting and customizing Maya jobs.
 You can use the Generic Render command in Apple Qmaster for the distributed
processing of projects from other frame-based rendering applications (such as After
Effects and LightWave).
For details about using Apple Qmaster, see the Apple Qmaster 2 User Manual.
