something big is coming !

and its coming to you soon … a hungry monster, strong and super fast !
But dont fear the beast - love it.

;-D

How much does it cost, and can I have one please?

How many cores?

Free PCs for all forum members! I knew that!

more then 20.000 cores

Yeah I felt it too after I had my morning coffee and double bran muffin. :smiley:

Holly sh**!!!..

can’t wait to test it

I must have missed something here.

Big render brother always the best dont be afraid

This was funny, I laught, humor good.

My anims come at 4000+ euros there, so I long time ago I figured Rebus (or any render farm) is not the way to go. It seems to be ok price for fast animation (if someone already has 5-10min. per frame on single i7), but anything else, it’s just money gone into trash.
Bot it’s almost universally accepted as being cheap so I really wonder, what do people render on it.

expensive? I found it extremely cheap. I am not doing animations usually. But having high res render quickly for 7-15euros max is really funny price for me.
Not mentioning the hassle with managing PC’s at home, licences, noise and heat. I sure want to have a few spare machines at home for test. I do sometimes use small 40machine renderfarm which my friends have, but for big scale commercial project, renderfarm is the right choice. I will simply put extra line in my quote to my client as “External renderfarm” and let clients pay extra for that. Simple.

you just see the price but not the benefit
you render 450 hour for the 18sec animation - thats 19 DAYS !!
a renderfarm do the same job in 2-3 hours

you pay for the speed - not for the render :slight_smile:

lets assume the price is 4000 euro - thats more then 190 DAYS of render

呵呵~!

you should then start your own renderfarm, you will make a fortune :wink:

I found out what big thing is coming, this cake!

then you are a lucky guy
its always cheaper to use own hardware - if someone can :wink:

another example I did with “the beast”

220 euro 750 frames - bucket engine 7passes → just 3 hour

rendering still images you have 2 options

bucket engine - it render the image until all passes are done but here you not know the render costs

progressive - you cen set the render costs in advace!
the beast eat the scene until all euro are spend - you get the highest possible passes worth the money
how many passes denpend on the scene and resolution

you have 2 choise - best quality but not know the price and konw the price but not the quality

i guess monday i am done with all my testings and i go live

Simple…ok. 7-15 euros for still is your price, Peter Guthrie mentioned in Venice around 70 euros per still, which is close to price I found to get. The moment you quote your client additional 4000-12 000 euros simply for rendering, you realize you can just buy the HW for it and keep it for additional projects as well, thus keeping the value, not only transfering it.
