How to use this tool

  1. Estimate render duration and minimum workers for a fixed deadline.
  2. Set frames to render, seconds per frame per worker, available workers, parallel efficiency, deadline in the indicated units.
  3. Calculate and compare expected render duration, workers needed for deadline.

Try this example

{
  "frames": 1200,
  "seconds": 60,
  "workers": 10,
  "eff": 80,
  "deadline": 2
}
