I created RenderQ for easy batchrendering using Softimage|XSI 2.0™ and above, and thanks to all who have shown interest and support in this application its grown to become quite useful to a lot of users. RenderQ is designed to be used on a single workstation, it has support for passes, antialiasing, resolution etc. There's also a number of features that are not a part of Softimage|XSI™ like sequence segmenting which is one step closer to a safer renderexperience!



Important update: The pass query response was changed in XSI 4 as
well, disabling the pass feature of RenderQ. The .1 update fixes
the problem. A new search string was added, RQ is still backwards
compatible though, if you're using v4 you must check the v4 button,
if you're using 3.x leave it unchecked.
4.4.2 adress yet another bug related to this, pass quering should
now work as expected.
