What is DrQueue FOR LINUX?

DrQueue

DrQueue is a fantastic Open Source software for managing render farms. It makes handling tasks, like rendering images, super easy by distributing them on a per-frame basis. Pretty cool, right?

Cross-Platform Compatibility

This software works on multiple platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, Irix, Mac OS X, and Windows. It's distributed under the GPL license and comes with three main tools: the master, slave, and drqman.

How DrQueue Works

The master acts as the server where all tasks hang out. This is where computers running the slaves report back about their task successes or failures. The slaves, which run on each node of your render farm, keep you updated on their load average. If their load is low enough (as set by you), they’re ready to take on some rendering jobs!

User-Friendly GUI with drqman

The third tool, drqman, is your go-to GUI for controlling jobs and computers in the farm. You can easily reprioritize tasks, stop them if needed, restart specific frames, and change what frames get rendered. It uses GTK as its widget library to keep things looking sharp!

Supported Software Tools

You’ll find that DrQueue supports popular tools like Maya, Mental Ray, Blender, BMRT, Pixie, and 3Delight. For other tools not listed here, you just need to whip up a small shell script to integrate them.

A Stable Alternative to Commercial Products

If you're wondering about reliability—DrQueue has been tested in real production environments! It stands tall as a stable alternative compared to commercial options while being open-source under GPL.
