Next time you find yourself needing to rendering several different objects but don’t want them to clobber each other for your system’s precious resources (Let’s face it, AfterEffects is a memory hog), maybe you should check out “RenderQ” from Andoru Labs.
RenderQ is a drag and drop render queue app that will send Maya, After Effects, Nuke, and Shake renders to Terminal and queue them up for easy and efficient local rendering. It is now very easy to set preferences for the version of each app you are using, as well as enabling and disabling additional flags for each filetype. RenderQ will also automatically detect the filetype and submit the job accordingly. I have also added Shake rendering to this version of the app.
Available for free (but donations are appreciated), and runs on Mac.
