Best Cloud Rendering for 3ds Max CAT/Biped Character: Built-In Rig Success Rate
I sent the same 300-frame character walk cycle to iRender, GarageFarm, RebusFarm, and Fox Renderfarm, once with a CAT rig and once with Biped. CAT: 10 [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for Animation RTX 4090: Per-Frame Speed Benchmark
I benchmarked 6 render engines on iRender's single RTX 4090 using the same test: a 300-frame animated scene at 1080p with SSS, reflections, motion blu [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for C4D Team Projects: Server Cloning for Studios
The single best thing I did for my studio's cloud workflow was build one perfect server template and clone it. First-time setup on iRender: installing [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for Animation on $20 vs $50 vs $100 Budget: Real Tests
I tracked exactly what $20, $50, and $100 gets you on iRender's RTX 4090. At standard MoGraph complexity (1080p Redshift, ~5 seconds/frame): $20 buys [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for C4D Product Animation: Turntable & Exploded Views
Product animation is the cheapest type of 3D animation to render on cloud and also the easiest to batch. A standard 360° product turntable (120 frames [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for C4D Abstract Animation: Iterative Creative Process
Abstract animation is fundamentally iterative and that changes which cloud farm works best. A typical abstract MoGraph session for me involves 8-12 te [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for 3ds Max tyFlow & Phoenix: Heavy Sim Caches on Cloud
GarageFarm's plugin couldn't handle the tyFlow cache, the submission failed silently and I lost 2 hours troubleshooting. On iRender, I uploaded the ca [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for Maya Studio Team: 5-Person Cloud Workflow
The split approach saved us about 15% compared to putting everything on one farm. The biggest surprise: the team actually renders more now because the [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for C4D + After Effects Pipeline: One Server, Full Workflow
I run Cinema 4D and After Effects on the same iRender cloud server: render EXR passes in Redshift, open them in AE, composite, and export the final MP [...]
Best Cloud Rendering for 3ds Max Animation: GarageFarm vs iRender Comparison
For 3ds Max V-Ray CPU animation, GarageFarm wins. For V-Ray GPU animation, iRender wins. I tested both with a 400-frame architectural walkthrough (V-R [...]
