hmm, we were/are big fans of the strides that were taken in 7.0
There were a lot of features in NR 7.0 that I really appreciated, as outlined in my raves and review post a month ago.
https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=19596.msg81898#msg81898If you guys are revamping the release, things we loved;
+ Worker Pools and the ability to assign a job to a pool upon transfer. (this is a huge deal for us, please retain)
+ Job details, I loved the increased transparency of information about a job, such as the dimensions and the ability to clone a job and change a few parameters such as sample rate/image size.
+ Tasks, I liked being able to see how tasks were progressing, though I wish the 'timer' for each job would not start until the first region has begun rendering instead of starting when the job is transferred (this would help me gauge actual rendering time vs idle time).
+ Preview seemed to work a hell of a lot better in 7 than 6.
Things we would love to see;
= Ability to change the default worker pool (right now if you turn off default in preferences, you will get a prompt each time a new job is sent, in which case you need to choose a pool for each job. I love this feature but wish I could 'batch' a certain # of jobs to a certain pool. Would be a bit of a UI challenge I'm sure.
= Ability to change the region dicing size. Right now it is automated, and as I mentioned in a wish list post, would love to make smaller regions in order to get more machines chewing on a tough area of my image, making tasks multiplied but divided and conquered.
