![]() ![]() Now the service is available to everyone, without restrictions. We are pleased to announce that since the preparation of the material, the service was launched (August 15, 2019). Michael, thank you from the Raysrender team for an unbiased review. ![]() A single computer might not affect me that much but when you are dealing with a network of tens of computers going on and offline, there’s just no measurable efficiency. Don’t know what’s going on and a computer that was there yesterday might not be there tomorrow on the network and no guarantees how that might affect me. I have never had a bad experience with them, however, when I was using our schools $3,000,000 render farm I knew exactly how many computers and when my work was being rendered. The fact that they don’t actually on the computers themselves really doesn’t have a technical name that I’m aware of, but, I go back to my original statement about reliability. Regardless of what you call it, they are the same exact thing. With the term render farm we tend to think of it as though it may be working on a single frame per computer, or maybe it is blending samples of the same frame across multiple computers. “Distributed” tends to carry a connotation that the work is spread out on a more macro level single frame per computer or whatever else your mind can cook up. ![]() Distribution of assets has nothing to do with ownership of the data, just that it is happening in more than one place. Distributed is a little bit more of a gray area word in the world of 3-D they can be taken a lot of different ways but by definition they are quite literally the same thing. Distributed systems and farmed systems for all intents and purposes are the same thing. Point is this: Where else can you get hundreds of computers to render you 'masterpiece' for free? And if you really have a true 'masterpiece' which you plan to profit off, you probably have a little cash to use a commercial render farm.ĭo plug you computer into BURP to help rendering though, if you are not paranoid about security and work at a bank.I appreciate you tagging me but that’s not quite why it’s different. If you want to have lots of chicks, use BURP. If you have something to render and you want to crank every setting to the max and want to see it before you die, use BURP If you are doing something cool and don't mind that other people can grab your blend file, use BURP If you don't want others to steel your cool model of the ginger bread man, Don't use BURP. If you are doing commercial work, don't use BURP - use Respower or some other excellent online renderer for a small fee. If you are Pixar, don't use BURP, unless you want to produce the second open source movie I do have a critical remark though: In the light of the recent discussion on Blender security, I do wonder how vulnerable this system is to attack. Being able to offer access to such a free renderfarm would be an awesome feature for Blender! I've been keeping an eye on this project and I'm really hoping they'll make good progress in the near future. So, you can submit jobs but there's no guarantee that they will be rendered.
