So I know there is a limit of 3 simultaneous renders on the RNDR network. But this falls apart as far as efficiency goes significantly. I currently have a rather easy render that would be the 4th in the queue. Out of 600 frames spread out between the 3 that are currently rendering, I'm waiting on 4 frames.. 2 on 1, and 1 on the other 2. So now I have to wait on 1 node to render 1 frame on any given project to be able to use the available 30-60 nodes that are sitting idle.
I don't know what the answer is... but there has to be a better way to determine if there are idle nodes and what's happening in the queue to compare the two and make an AI-type of decision. In the mean time... I'm missing deadlines.
