PipelineFX Announces Support for Autodesk 2011 3D Products

Qube! Jobtypes updated for Maya 2011, XSI 2011 and 3ds Max 2011

Honolulu, HI – May 17, 2010 – PipelineFX, makers of Qube!™ – the leading render farm management software for digital media creation, announced today support for the latest versions of Autodesk’s 3D software applications.

The Qube! Maya 2011, XSI 2011, and 3ds Max 2011 interfaces have been updated to support the latest releases. Using the new integrated plug-ins, users can easily submit jobs to the Qube! Supervisor and take advantage of Qube!’s unique dynamic allocation technology. Dynamic allocation maximizes render throughput by loading the application and scene file only once, and then sending single frames to each render host until the job is complete. Faster hosts finish first and are dispatched another frame. All without having to re-load the application and the scene file. Using dynamic allocation with Autodesk 2011 3D products also allows users to scale up or down the number of render hosts allocated to a job on the fly.

Updated Qube! JobTypes are now available for all PipelineFX customers under support, and can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.pipelinefx.com.
