Render farms recomendation

[Crayox13]

Hi guys,
I remember discussing these a while back…what are your current preferences?
I don’t need it for animations but for large stills…like 3000x2000. I often have complex scenes that are sometimes estimated at 70+h of render time on my machine.

I used to use render rocket which is great for job price estimation since it gives free test renders, but I have issues uploading stuff with them, ftp gives errors, and online upload won’t take my ies files.Also RR doesn’t have Floor generator plug in (doesn’t everyone use it?)
So I tried Rebus farm but they don’t give job estimations, only rough estimates but per frame for animations, not really for my stills that take hours…but I guess they would be ok.

Thx

For stills i usually use RebusFarm. For stills the price rarely goes higher than 15 EUR.

Wow, 70h for 3000x2000

And there I was complaining about my 10000 x 5000 spherical taking 10hrs !

Yes, I recommend Rebus - very well integrated into 3DS Max and costs are reasonable.

I recommend Render Buzz, cheapest and works perfectly! It has same integration as Rebus, but its 3 times cheaper.

Thanks for this, will try this out and compare with Rebus.

Cool, thank you guys for your recommendations.
And yes, I don’t know what I did to that scene to make it hate me

I have some Rebus farm credits I’m willing to sell for less than what I paid if anyone is interested.

I always use ranchrender farm. Great support and the max interface is really good.

I 100% recommend YellowDog incredible support available 24/7, you can test render each scene and they have a great and simple plugin built into Max, which zips your entire scene and uploads it directly to their server. You can then monitor all your frames online as they render.

second these guys. Although no DR last I checked so not so great for stills.
