I'll probably reach out to you a few weeks

You are still welcome to use my machines Bobby

I just launched two renders on rebusfarm... That was lightning fast... 10€ for 2 4k renders distributed... :impressed: It took more time to download and upload... as usual
When you take the time to really adjust settings, those new xeon they have seem to be massive performers..

I must be doing something wrong I've never even paid as little as €25 per image. My last one even took €110 at 4500px.

[chris-x//]

I rarely had so cheap ones Generally they are 60-70€ for 4000px * 2250px.
I found 10€ for the two images was so low I got worried when downloading them, but they're fine.

Do you render with BF + LC?? Lots of trees/grass; glass?

[chris-x//]

Those were interiors IR + LC with almost no vegetation. BUt lots of glossies.

Ah that must've been it. I had +100 lights, everything glossy except for the glass, BF, lots of vegetation reflecting,..etc not the smartest setup either and the settings were quite lazy too.

That explains everything Well sometimes, 110€ for an image isn't excessive with such things as deadlines and pressing clients

For me the issue is when the calculator says $20 and the final is $120.

[Vizioen]

Well my issue is that the last 7-10 nodes are very slow and more or less double, sometimes triple the price.

I found the calculator pretty precise when I launched several frames for an animation. Not 100% precise but never that far away.
Though, for still images it's more difficult to estimate since for instance ceiling is always easy, floor more complicated etc...

I render locally at 1/2 resolution, so double the resolution on Rebus should be no more, if not less than, 4 times my local time.

lot if wrong infos here

for a DR job we cut the image into regions and render each region by one PC
that means we load and prepare the render 100 times - that time is NOT to pay
we charge CPU usage not PC time so loading happen with 1cpu core only therefore you pay only 1 core !

the popup about the "more costs" just means the loading overhead (1 core time)
we like to avoid users sending 10min renders in distributed cos the overhead is too much in that case
the less rendertime the image has the more effect the overdead has
for a 20 hour render the overhead is not noticable

imagen you send a 10 sec render distributed
load and prepare need 1minute for that job
1min 3% CPU usage + 0.01sec render 99% CPU usage = 3% CPU time you pay * 100 nodes !
insteat one PC do the same render in 1min10sec for 3% CPU
that what the popup mean


but soon things change I make a new post about Progressive render at Rebus.
