Blender Queue v2.2.0 Update

Released February 20, 2025

What’s new in version 2.2

Live Remote Monitoring for Rendering Progress

The main feature of this update is the ability to track render progress remotely. After installing the new version, you need to copy and paste your User Code, which can be found in the Rendering Dashboard at blenderqueue.com. Once the code is added, your workstation is linked, allowing you to monitor real-time rendering statistics and preview the latest rendered image.

Each user has two User Codes, meaning you can track up to two workstations simultaneously.

For Blender Market or Gumroad Purchases:
If you purchased Blender Queue from Blender Market or Gumroad, you will need to create an account at blenderqueue.com to use the Live Monitoring feature. After creating your account, please send an email to support@blenderqueue.com so we can link it to your purchase.

Additional Enhancements

Cooling Time Between Renders
A new Cooling Time Between Renders field has been added to the add-on preferences. This allows you to set a pause between rendered items in batch rendering. It’s particularly useful for intensive rendering workloads, especially on systems prone to overheating, as it allows the system time to cool down and helps prevent thermal throttling.

Frame Step & Overwrite Options
A new Frame Step setting is now available in Render Settings, enabling the creation of quick preview renders by skipping every other frame (or a custom step) to efficiently evaluate the animation.

A new Overwrite option has been added, complementing the Frame Step feature. For example, if you previously rendered every other frame, disabling Overwrite allows you to render only the missing frames, ensuring a complete sequence without re-rendering existing frames.
