What it does

Muster manages render farm resources by monitoring usage, assigning tasks, recovering from faults, and powering down racks when they are no longer needed. It supports mixed operating systems and can run the same job across different platforms using substitution paths. Templates connect external batch renderers to Muster and define submission fields, commands, licensing limits, and render-process actions. For Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max, its Dispatcher can split single-frame images across hosts and assemble the rendered slices.
