5.2 Iray Queue Manager
The Iray Queue Manager allows converting and sending a Maya scene to the Iray Server render queue. The Queue Manager only sends the scene to the Iray Server render queue. It does not start or manage the Iray Server render queue. This is done in a browser using the tools that come with Iray Server, in this case, the Queue page. To see how to open the Iray Server Queue Page in a browser please refer to the Iray Server documentation.
Also it is important to know that using the Iray Server render queue the resulting image format will differ from the results when used with Maya's Batch Render or the command line rendering. Not all features provided by Iray for Maya will be available when using Iray Server.
Note:
The Queue Manager is only available via the IFM Control Box.
IFM Control Box
The Queue Manager looks similar to the Resource Manager's Cloud tab. However, keep in mind that the Resource Manager only manages the resources used in the Render View inside Maya. It does not control the resources using batch rendering, command-line rendering, or cloud rendering.
The Queue Manager only handles the connection to a given Iray Server or Quadro VCA and submits data to this cluster. This has nothing to do with Maya's Batch Render or Maya's command line render.
