Feature Request: AutoLimit

It would be nice if you could setup some more automated limit groups. For instance in 3ds Max to check and see if it’s a Vray job and associate a limit group with all Vray jobs.

We had this for Brazil r/s renders (see checkbox under Limits list in SMTD).
Since V-Ray 1.x and 2.x did not need licensing, we never did that for it, but with V-Ray 3 coming, we should probably do that.
We could easily expand this concept to support all known renderers (V-Ray, finalRender, Krakatoa etc.).
Would a hard-coded name be enough, or do you want the Limit names for specific renderers to be customizable via some INI file in the Repository?

EDIT:
I added auto-limits for FinalRender, Krakatoa, Maxwell and V-Ray using hard-coded names “FinalRender”, “Krakatoa”, “Maxwell” and “VRay” in addition to the existing “Brazil” and “3dsmax20XXWorkstation”. I also cleaned up the code a bit.

We expect to post the updated SMTD script publicly later this week. I have added the Secondary Pool and polished the Multi-Region gizmos to behave better in Max 2014, but I have to get it tested internally first.

Perfect! Thanks.
