im consistently amazed at how responsive holger is,
any of our issues have been solved almost as fast as i can brew a cup of coffee.


i personally cant imagine using any render management software without the sequence checking tool he has implemented!
we have fusion, aftereffects, and xsi all merrily coexisting on our farm

only limitations i have encountered is 750 pass/job limitation.
xsi permanently dropping the workgroup if it looses contact with the server (xsi does this regardless of the rendering software used, still it would be nice if RR overcame this)
and the graphical output leaves a little to be desired.

note: we are not using the latest build yet, so some of these may have been overcome.

Like scene parser that will read all render settings from the file or a workaround for the XSIBatch 5.1-x64 freeze bug until
Softimage fixed it.


Ouch, that one was not fun for us. We had to back up to 5.0 until the 5.11 release.

But, I have to point out that the one man development team that Holger is, he hammered out workarounds for us on a moments notice to help us get as far around the problem as possible until Soft released the bug fix. And I'm sure we are just one of his small clients.
