Hello you 3Dguys,
You may have some heavy pictures or animations to render, but not the renderfarm that suits well… Online big RenderFarms are non-humans (rendering a fully black faulty scene is not a problem for them) and expensives and you have to be in VIP mode to have it render fast your work…
I’ve built a small RenderFarm to rent : close to 1000 GHz rendering power is waiting for you.
I personally manage the renders and i’ll be reactive in case of bugs, mistakes and so on… I can also provide some advices to speedup or clean some renderings…
Here is a small Java applet (made with WireFusion, i’m not a coder)(in french, but easy to understand) to estimate the rendering time and the resulting cost. Feel free to email me for questions and informations : claudio@athom.org
