5. How to use the ControlCenter?

In the ControlCenter you can manage your account, all your jobs in the render cloud and your payments. There are several ways to open the ControlCenter: via the Rebus Setup, directly via the website or through the RebusDrop application.

In the gray bar at the top of the site, you see your current RenderPoint balance as pointed in the image below.

Click on the job name to display the preview area and more setting options.

In the preview area, on the top right corner there is an information icon, click on it to see the general information of the job.

To stop a job use the pause button. A window will then appear allowing you to either pause or cancel a job and will show you what each option means.

Pause: It will pause the job and let the already started to render frames finish the process. The cost might increase since some frames are still being calculated. All non-started frames will be paused and can be continued later.

CANCEL: The cancel option will completely stop the whole rendering process of the job in the render cloud and cannot be undone. Also, the already used RenderPoints will not be reimbursed. If you notice a problem, please contact the RebusFarm support before canceling your job.

You can change the priority in the queue as long as the rendering process has not started in the render cloud (this will not affect the render speed).

With the download option, you can start or restart the download of a completed job to your computer.

The download button is also found next to the job name in the main overview of the Control Center.

With the show texture files option, you can check all the uploaded files/assets of the job.

With the resubmit option, you can start to render a copy of the job with different settings like camera, resolution, name, and frame range, without having to upload the job to the render cloud again.

The Resubmit button is also found next to the job name in the main overview of the Control Center.

With the move render job option, you can move the job from your private Control Center to one of your teams Control Center so your team members can also see and download the job. For further information about the team features read our “How to use Team Manager” guide.

Use the 'Delete job' option to delete your old jobs from the render cloud. Please make sure that you downloaded all your results first, as this cannot be undone. If the job you are planning to delete has any issues or rendered incorrectly please contact support before deleting it.

The delete button is also found next to the job name in the main overview of the Control Center.
