Rendering with Free Software

Home | YafaRay Setting Up A Render Farm What and Why? A render farm is simply a collection of networked computers that work together to render a sequence in less time. By dividing your sequence between multiple machines your total render time becomes a fraction of what it is on a single computer. Most production studios will fill huge rooms with server rack upon server rack, full of thousands of rendering computers (or render nodes as you’ll hear them called). But they’re also useful (as well as financially viable) for smaller teams or even individuals. A render farm can be a custom built cluster for a few thousand dollars or it can be a collection of arbitrary computers, a computer lab with networked stations, or you can invite all your friends over with their laptops. Blender makes it easy to take advantage of network rendering. I will be walking you through 3 stages. In the third stage I’ll show you how to take advantage of Blender’s included addon “Network Render”. Prefer to watch instead? 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
