FrameCore

Render Farm Operations Console

FrameCore is a Qt Widgets desktop showcase for monitoring and managing a render farm style workload. It presents a polished dark operations console with dashboard metrics, a searchable render queue, worker status lanes, settings, and modal flows for creating and inspecting render jobs.

Features

• Dashboard overview for farm health, active jobs, capacity, and queue signals
• Jobs page with summary cards, debounced search, status filters, and detailed job overlays for inspection and editing
• Full job lifecycle management including creating new jobs, editing job parameters, and deleting jobs
• New render job flow with frame range, pool, priority, toolchain, and queue preview controls
• Workers page for machine/lane style render node monitoring
• Settings page with configurable application options (built from a Qt Designer .ui form)
• Custom FrameCore icon, Tabler-style navigation/control icons, and a shared dark QSS theme
