renderstacksmaster 0 Comments

4.38 – 6/29/2026

  • New – RenderFlow pmodifier integration.
    • Pmodifier for submitting passes directly to Pulze RenderFlow via rfcli. Supports job name (with token resolution), priority, and initial job status (pending/suspended).
    • RenderFlow is now detected as a network render target. When a pass has a RenderFlow pmodifier assigned, the Net Render button submits to RenderFlow automatically.
    • RenderFlow path configuration added to the Preferences panel, with a browse button to locate rfcli.exe. The panel shows the current path status on open.
    • RenderFlow submission validates the installed rfcli version and requires 1.3.0 or above, with a clear error when the version is not supported.
  • New – Toolbar icons added for renderStacks, rsPrvRender, and rsRenamer.
  • New – Installer now only supports Application Package installation, simplifying the install process.
  • Improved – "Rendered Frame Window" option in the Output pmodifier, allowing the VFB visibility to be controlled per pass.
  • Improved – "Instance pmodifiers with identical data" option in the CSV Pass Generator. When enabled, passes sharing the same camera, resolution, or frame range reuse a single instanced pmodifier instead of creating duplicates.
  • Improved – Net Render button now shows "Net Render Mgr Missing" when no render manager is configured, instead of being silently disabled.
