Why smartRender?
----------------
Although multi threaded rendering became built-in since Nuke-11 as it was
being ported over from NukeStudio, smartRender offers a lot more features than
the built-in functionality. Besides being able to render Write nodes and
DeepWrite nodes, smartRender lets you process nodes multi threaded being nested
in gizmos and groups. It lets you even configure your custom nodes for
processing multi threaded. You can edit the amount of threads being used, the
frame range, frame skipping and the resolution per render job. These values can
be stored as a preset so you can quickly switch between different presets.
Furthermore, it lets you render working files without opening them in Nuke. In
addition, it offers batch rendering modes. smartRender generates detailed
render logs and adds custom functionality to Write nodes. Furthermore, it
offers you to transcode your rendered media and apply custom transcoding
templates to it. And if you have some programming knowledge, you can take over
full control and customize the render jobs. Finally, smartRender offers a user
interface that lets you quickly select and disable render intensive nodes so
that you can get quicker feedback for your intermediate renderings.
**Features:**
- Multi threaded background rendering for NUKE
- Dramatically speed up your renderings
- Batch render multiple jobs
- Super fast feedback preview
- Detailed job log information
- Customize render commands to your needs
