With the latest Open Beta you can now connect your render farm via a tiny menu bar app called PixelAgent. It runs on your render master, reads jobs and engines from Deadline/Smedge, and syncs only the status/timing metadata to PixelTime – so you can see what your farm is doing right from your phone.
If you’re running a farm and want to try the Open Beta, you can simply install PixelTime and PixelAgent and play around with it – I’d really appreciate feedback from real production setups.
