Job Handling group Enable Task Blocking Allows the job to override the task blocking set in the Manager. Some jobs will have their frames processed more efficiently if task blocking is turned off. Default=on. Override Global Settings This switch lets you override job archiving settings made in the Backburner Manager General Properties dialog. It lets you set the archive settings for the job about to be submitted. When Override Global Settings is turned on, the following three switches become active. Default=off. NOTE Any setting made while Override Global Settings is turned on, remains active from one 3ds Max session to the next. For example, if you choose to leave jobs in the queue, submit the job and exit 3ds Max, the setting will be active when you choose to submit jobs in the future. Leave It In The Queue This switch tells the network manager to leave the job in the queue without deleting it or archiving it. You might use this switch if you are submitting a job that might need to be re-rendered at a higher resolution without making any other changes to the scene. Archive It When turned on, the job is archived when the rendering is complete. Default=on. Archiving is useful when you submit a final version of the scene and you know that there won't be any more changes to the scene. Before submitting the job, you set the job to archive upon completion. Delete It Upon completion, the job is deleted from the queue when this switch is turned on. If the scene you're network rendering is just a test shot and you're just doing a quick test of the scene, you don't really want to keep the job in the queue once it's completed. Before submitting the job, turn on this switch. Defaults Returns all settings to their defaults. OK Accepts any changes and closes the dialog. Cancel Closes the dialog without saving changes. 6500 | Chapter 20 Rendering
