We use V-Ray distributed rendering a lot during the day and segment off a chunk of the slaves to reserve for this function, but after business hours it would be great to return those to our “production” pool for standard frame rendering.
It was suggested to schedule a job that is to run a script to accomplish this but I figured I would throw it out there as a feature request hoping for an easier solution.
We just had a scheduling related discussion in another thread this week:
viewtopic.php?f=156&t=11759
In short, it’s definitely something we want to look at supporting at some point, but for now, writing a script that runs at set times is the best way to go.
Cheers,
Ryan
