Viewing Render Queues

The Render queue displays all the scenes from the selected environment that the system is rendering. After the system renders a scene, the State of the rendered scene changes to Complete or Completed with Errors and the scene remains in the queue. If you want to remove the rendered scenes, you must select them and use the Delete button.

  1. Select an environment name from the list, then select Environment > Render Queue.

The Render Queue window appears.

  1. Select how to sort the entries in the queue from the Sort By.
‣ State: Sorts the entries based on the item's status (Pending, Pending-E, Processing, Completed with Errors, or Completed).
‣ Entry Time: Sorts the entries based on the time you sent them for rendering.
‣ Job, Scene, etc.: Sorts the entries based on their parent jobs and scenes.
‣ JobID: Sorts the entries based on their unique job id.

‣ Jobs: Select the specific job you want to see.

‣ Hold: Displays no new entries to the queue once the button is activated.
‣ Monitor: Automatically displays new entries at the interval you enter in the Every ## secs field.
  1. Select the Show Error Messages option to see any related errors for each entry in the queue.
NOTE

If the Control Center node detects any errors while processing the scenes, it displays "Pending-E" in the State column. Errors can occur if there are files missing, computers are unavailable, or data cannot be found.

Many of these errors can occur if the system is improperly configured. If you get a Pending-E error, see your system administrator as the system may need to be reconfigured.
