I was curious if this were possible. The reason I ask is that we have a bunch of old and slower machines on our farm and most of the time on bigger jobs they go unused. But I thought that it would be great to put them to use in tile renders. But it doesn’t seem like you can mix and match your render types. Am I way off on this idea or is there some other way to band together a bunch of slower machines to help out on heavy renders?
You would basically have to submit specific frame(s) as tile renders that target the slow machines, and the rest of the frames as a regular job that targets the fast machines. It would definitely be a bit of a hassle to set up. You would probably want to write some custom scripts to automatically split up the jobs during submission, but then of course there is the problem of figuring out how many frames should be tile rendered.
So I guess it’s technically possible… 
Yeah, I’ve been thinking of a smarter way to make use of our slower machines. I was just kind of throwing it out there in case there was something I missed.
Thanks!
