The architectural visualization industry has a new contender: Pulze, with the release of a beta version of its render manager. This tool focuses on user-friendliness, streamlining and automating as much of the workflow as possible to benefit artists.
Key features include node monitoring, which allows you to track hardware and installed software, renderers, and plugins.
Job submission is designed for simplicity, and a “Requirements-based Selective Resource Allocation System” handles resource management automatically, considering the jobs engine and plugin needs. Visual feedback is provided for each frame, including remaining time and a snapshot of the image’s progress.
While pricing details haven’t been released yet, a public beta is currently accessible.
