The design and implementation of Render Farm Manager based on OpenPBS

With the extensive use of the 3D computer graphics technology, the computation and the processing data are rapidly increased . Computer animation rendering is a long time process. In this paper, the animation rendering implementation based on OpenPBS is proposed. The OpenPBS-based animation rendering application provides the uniform rendering job management. Render Farm Manager is designed to provide OpenPBS a rendering module interface to manage the rendering job, and to propose GOS Portal a rendering job xml template for animators to submit the rendering job. Two Animation models are experimented and tested to show the efficiency of the OpenPBS-based animation rendering application.
