Job Name group
The job name cannot be changed from this dialog.
Job Description Displays a brief description of the job. Editable from
keyboard.
Restart Job When on (Yes), changing one or more job settings in the middle
of a rendering job causes the job to restart at the first frame in the range, so
all frames are rendered with the same settings. When off (No), the job
continues rendering without restarting. Toggled by double-clicking the entry.
Default=No.
You might want to turn this off if you're rendering an animation test and
change a relatively minor setting, such as Video Color Check, in the middle
of a job. For final renderings, you should always restart a job from the
beginning after changing job settings.
Override Global Blocking Tasks This setting corresponds with the Override
Global Settings as set in the
Advanced Setting dialog on page 6296 . Default=Yes.
Enable Blocking Tasks A Yes/No toggle that controls task blocking as set in
the Advanced Setting dialog. When set to Yes, the task blocking set in the
Manager General Properties dialog is active. Toggled by double-clicking the
entry. Default=Yes.
Use All Available Servers Uses all servers in the active Server group for
rendering the job.
3ds Max General Settings group
Frame Sequence This toggle setting alternates between Frames and Range,
and, by default, uses the Range and Frames settings in the
Render Scene dialog
on page 5878 . When set to Range, the job uses the First/Last Frame and Every
Nth settings; when set to Frames, the job uses the Frames setting. Toggled by
double-clicking the entry. Default=Range.
First Frame Displays the first frame in the range to be rendered. Defaults to
the first frame as submitted. Editable from keyboard.
Last Frame Displays the last frame in the range to be rendered. Defaults to
the last frame as submitted. Editable from keyboard.
Every Nth Regular sample of frames. For example, enter 8 to render every
8th frame. Editable from keyboard.
