  • Could you please provide a 64 bit version
    Mika Ishikawa | February 17, 2024 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Backburner generally is a great app, but I does not seem to support large 3D Studio Max files. (Files that are over several GB) 

    Would you please be able to update the app or atleast make sure it can be used with heavier data without issues.

    Thank you for all the help!!

  • Es una vergüenza.
    Sergi GB | September 13, 2023 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Es una vergüenza. ¿Tan dificil es tener un renderizador de red nativo integrado en el propio software? De verdad que hay cosas que no entiendo de las empresas.


  • Where is the new version?
    Francisco Garcia | September 01, 2023 Verified Download (What's this?)

    I downloaded it and the files are the same (2019 version) that I downloaded several years ago. Where is the new version?

  • Come on AutoDesk, it's time to update
    Geoffrey Registe | July 25, 2023

    Wake up team, it's time to update this package people have been crying about for years, get with it AutoDesk.

    Nathan Wruck | August 02, 2023

    I've been here for years asking for updates. Having a native backburner tool is essential, especially for small studios. For me the biggest deficit of the current backburner is the lack of IPV6 support and the difficulty in configuring or even submitting it within the render, it should be something simple but it seems very complicated.

    autodesk PLEASE update this software. this is insane!

  • Backburner X64
    Patrice Rialland | August 07, 2020 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Are there any plans to upgrade backburner to amd64 (x64) version in order to overcome this functional limit of 2GB zip files?


  • Package issue
    Michael Orkney | April 30, 2019

    For anyone having issues make sure you download the Windows version by selecting at the top of this page. By default you will download the Mac version tar.gz


  • easy to use - tricky to set up
    Andre West | August 27, 2018

    I am using this tool with Maya 2018.3 on a workstation and 4 Dell Poweredge R610 with Win 10 Pro as render nodes.

    Installation on Windows 10 is a piece of cake.

    Most complex issue that almost mad me cry was that IPv6 protocol has to be deaktivated for each ethernet socket that wants to communicate with the manager.

    Once setup it works fine and fast.

    I do recommend to carry out the Backburner timeout fix from Josh_BSS in the Autodesk forums. This works around the preset 60 minutes timeout, that cuts off longer renders.

     

    Andy Kelly | November 10, 2020

    The IPv6 had me looking at other software to do this, but reverted back to Backburner as it simply works. Really wish Autodesk would update this to work without having to configure the network.


  • Simple and mostly effective
    David Lacombe | December 05, 2017

    I just installed Backburner 2018 in order to use with Maya 2018. It can be quirky, but is very simple to set up and use. As far as I know, it cannot handle render layers or complicated instructions, but for me it is a good and simple render farm manager solution.


  • runs like a champ
    Carol Deak | January 24, 2017

    Took a little bit to find, but the mac tar.gz unpacked perfectly with archive utility and unarchiver for me.


  • 3ds max
    Paulo Casa Nova | October 10, 2016

    August Wiklund | September 27, 2016
