This page is used to add groups you can use at the rrSubmitter or rrControl.

Groups are used for these kind of cases:


  • You render with Max and you have installed the VRay renderer plugin on 10 machines only. 
    So you create a group "Max VRay".
  • You have installed and licensed an AFX or Nuke plugin on 5 machines. 
    So you create a group "Realsmart" rendering.
  • You are rendering with Maya, but you notice that your old GPUs render wrong results or do not support a new GPU feature.
    So you make a group "Intel machines".

  • You want to render with Maya 2020. All machines have Maya 2019 installed, but only a few have the new version Maya 2020.
