Drop & Render

Drop & Render is a rendering farm designed for rendering Cinema 4D. With an integrated plugin in the application and support for the main rendering engines and plugins. Start now and get 10 free rendering farm credits. Everything is fully automated, from loading your project to the exit that is placed directly on your own workstation. Our rendering farm plugin allows you to never leave your favorite 3D application. Securely send all your settings to our servers and store automatically rendered frames on your hard drive. This means that there are no more additional steps to get your files or wait for downloads that last forever. Start working with your files rendered immediately. Our farm serves to dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to complete a rendering. Valuable time that, in our opinion, could be used much better in working and exploring new creative ideas. You have an average of between 400 and 300,000 cores when rendering on the GPU.

SheepIt Render Farm

(3 Ratings)

When the owner of a project adds their project to the queue, the service splits the animation into single frames to render, sends each frame to a connected computer and aims to optimize its choice based on the available memory, as well as the CPU/GPU power. You can add as many as you want but you can only have 2 renderings at the same time. This limit is set to avoid having a person flooding the render farm with too many projects. If the render farm is indeed flooded this limit will be temporarily lowered to 1 (It does happen, but no more than a few times a year).

AWS Thinkbox Deadline

Automatically sync on-premises asset files to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), ensuring availability in the cloud. Synchronize with local servers, manage data transfers before rendering begins, and tag accounts and instances for bill allocation. Purchase usage-based software licenses, bring your own licenses, or use a combination of both to create third-party digital content. Leverage Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Spot Instances to save up to 90% compared to on-demand pricing. Set up a render farm in minutes, run more projects in parallel, and improve cost control. Generate a hybrid or cloud-based render farm and scale to thousands of cores in minutes with the AWS Portal. Build, tailor, and deploy render farms with the Render Farm Deployment Kit (RFDK) using familiar programming languages, such as Python. Use the Jigsaw tool to render very high-resolution images faster by distributing them across multiple machines.
