Result Download and Management
11.1 Automatic Download Mechanism
By default, each frame will start downloading to the local render output path set in the software immediately after rendering is complete. If you need to disable this function, you can uncheck the "Download results immediately after rendering" option in "Settings" (not recommended to modify).
11.2 Download Function Operations
11.2.1 Job List Functions
Download Order
To adjust the download order of jobs, you can modify it in the "Download Order" column of the client before job download is completed. The priority range is 10–1, decreasing step by step. The default priority for all jobs is 5.
View Result
Click the "folder" button in the Results column to quickly open the save location of the current job results.
11.2.2 Right-Click List Functions
Download Verification
If result files are missing after job download is completed, or result files are accidentally deleted, you can use the "Download Verification" function to re-supplement the download. This function applies to jobs submitted within 7 days.
After the job has rendered at least one frame and started downloading, right-clicking the job list will display the "Download Verification" button. You can choose "All" or "Partial Frames" as needed.
Note: 3ds Max jobs only support All.
Effect diagram download order
This function is only for 3ds Max still jobs. If multiple render elements are added and you need to prioritize downloading the main image, it is recommended to select "Prioritize downloading main image"; if you only need to download the main image results, it is recommended to select "Download main image only".
Usage method: Before downloading job results, select the target job, right-click the job list, and choose "Effect diagram download order" in the menu to set the download method for this job individually.
Select results download
This function applies to Maya / Houdini / Clarisse / Cinema 4D / 3ds Max animation jobs. If you only need to download partial frame results or a certain type of result, you can right-click the job and choose the "Select results download" function for refined downloading after the job has downloaded at least one frame of results.
Save Intermediate Result
This function is only applicable to 3ds Max still jobs, divided into VRay and Corona two scenarios.
-
3ds Max VRay Job
When the job is Rendering, select the job and right-click, choose "Save Intermediate Result" to save the current render progress results to the output path. After successful save, the system will give a prompt, and the job will continue rendering.
Note: If you need to stop the job, you need to separately click the "Stop" button. After stopping, the current render state cannot be restored. Please operate with caution, and you can contact customer service for assistance if necessary.
-
3ds Max Corona Job
When the job is Rendering, select the job and right-click, choose "Stop and Save Intermediate Result " to save the current render progress results to the output path. After successful save, the job will stop rendering, and the results will display the "Download Completed" status after download.
Set up Path
To change the download path of render results, you can select the job before it enters the download state, right-click, and choose "Set up Path" to re-specify the target path.
Usage precautions:
-
If "Download results immediately after rendering" is checked in the Settings interface and results have not yet started downloading, or the job download path does not exist (a yellow exclamation mark appears at the download path), you must first click "Stop Download", then use the "Set up Path" function, and finally click "Resume".
-
If the job has already downloaded partial results, the "Set up Path" function cannot be used.
-
If it is a synchronized job, after using the "Set up Path" function, the "Team Path" in the Settings interface will not be appended.
Send Result to Email
If you need flexible downloading of results, you can use the "Send Result to Email" function. The system will send a download link for the result compressed package to the email you fill in. The link is valid for 24 hours; please download in time.
11.2.3 Settings Interface Functions
File Renaming
When the downloaded file name duplicates with an existing local file, you can modify this option in the Settings interface according to actual needs.
When selecting "Rename original file":
-
Still results: A serial number will be appended after the file name, in the format filename(n).
-
Animation results: A serial number will be added before the file name, in the format (n)filename.
Note: When selecting "Overwrite original file", it will directly overwrite existing local render results. Please choose carefully.
download order (Global Setting)
This function is only for 3ds Max still jobs, used to uniformly set the global download order. All newly submitted 3ds Max still jobs will follow this order, and you can also modify it for individual jobs in the right-click job menu.
Team Job Download Path
To standardize manage the download result paths of synchronized jobs, you can configure the "Team Job Download Path" in the Settings interface. After setting, the actual download path for team job results is: Team Job Download Path + original path set in the rendering software (concatenated).
Transfer Timeout (s)
The default timeout is 15 seconds. If the transfer speed is zero for 15 consecutive seconds, the system determines a transfer failure and will automatically stop the current transfer process and re-initiate the transfer. Applicable to both job upload and result download scenarios.
Note: Generally not recommended to modify this value. If the network is unstable, you can appropriately extend the timeout time, recommended not to exceed 60 seconds.
Download Thread Allocation Strategy
Used to control the thread allocation method for download jobs. The default is "Download jobs one by one", where the system concentrates all threads to download the highest priority job one by one. If you need multiple jobs to download simultaneously, you can change it to "Download multiple jobs concurrently". Note: When downloading multiple jobs simultaneously, the download progress of individual jobs will slow down. Please choose according to your needs.
