| - For Frames per slice you can manage how many frames to do per each machine job working on the render. It takes a long time for Maya to open and read settings and get started on just the first frame, so it may be handy to have it do 5 or 10 or 20 frames per slice. As a rule of thumb, if you only have 30 frames or less, stick with 1 frame per slice. From 30 to 300 use 5 frames per slice. From 300 - 1000 use 10 frames per slice. Anything over that I would do 20 frames per slice. In my example I will use 5 frames per slice. | - For Frames per slice you can manage how many frames to do per each machine job working on the render.
