Pipeline is a free and easy to use render management application with support for a wide range of 3D- and compositing systems

Pipeline Render Manager started out as BraveRabbit’s in-house rendering management software and has developed into a robust render management tool that is offered freely, or by donation (I recommend donation).

Pipeline Render Manager 2.0 sees over 30 new features and improvements from previous versions, and currently supports a wide range of applications, including Autodesk Maya (for Software, Hardware, Mental Ray, RenderMan, VRay), NUKE, After Effects, V-Ray Standalone, and Cinema 4D.

One of the newer features in 2.0 is that Pipeline also supports Generic Rendering from any command-line renderer, allowing you to create your own renderer description or modify existing, based on your workflows. Pipeline Render Manager already includes render descriptions for Blender, modo, and RedLine.
