    Anyone knows a good MAC OS X manager for rendering in a MAC network inside NUKE?

    I have been using QMASTER for Shake, but I dont know if I can use it for NUKE.

    We're using FXCluster which supports a wide range of applications.

    Edit: And since it's Java, it runs on most platforms.

    Thanks for the tips, I already send an email to fxcluster support to get a trial version.

    Anyway anyone have manage to make a comand for Qmaster to start rendering Nuke, since all my tys right now I only manage to make Qmaster to open all the nukes in the render farm but they dont start a render.

    It looks to me that Qmaster dosent know what to do with the Nuke renderer.

    Best regards

    Hey Hugo,

    Could also try out DrQueue. I've used it a few times and liked it.

    personally I prefer RUSH

    http://seriss.com/rush/

    The UI doesn't look great but I find it far faster and battle ready. Also it gives you far more information when something is going wrong in less clicks then the others. Rush works across all 4 platforms pretty flawlessly though the setup is a little more involved then others. I would beware of Deadline because it just came out of beta for mac and is still very buggy.
