We are sorry that Zync Render has to officially shut down on June 1, 2021, the cloud rendering services provided by Google Cloud. Since the chaos that has a huge impact on the 3D industry worldwide caused by the pandemic, Fox Renderfarm strongly believes that every contributor in the industry matters, and we never see other cloud render farms as competitors but teammates to make this industry robust and vigorous.
What Should Zync Render users do to avoid losses as much as possible and continue their cloud rendering easily after the change? Here are 2 pieces of advice.
1. Be aware of 2 special dates
Zync has stopped accepting new users and halted new development since June 21, 2020, which means the software and plugins support and maintenance provided by the render farm cannot be up to date. Below are software versions supported by Zync Render. If you cannot find the versions of your software and plugins, we recommend you could find an alternative choice, and Fox Renderfarm is deeply committed to supporting CG Artists and making cloud rendering accessible to everyone around the world. We support a huge number of main 3D software and renderers.
3ds Max
Arnold Standalone
Cinema 4D
Houdini
Maya
Nuke
V-Ray Standalone
The official shutdown date is on June 1, 2021. Before that, you’d better log in to your Zync Render account to check your projects left and do the backup just in case of asset losses.
2. Choose Zync Render Alternatives
We sincerely advise you to try Fox Renderfarm. Besides the wide-range software and plugins support, 24/7 customer service, dedicated TD and customer support, and flexible pricing scheme which we’ve always been insisting on, recently Fox Renderfarm has initiated a program called Evergreen Program especially for new users.
Accomplish your first top-up and you could get a free render coupon and even a Gold Membership for three months. The more you recharge, the more you save.
*New User: User registered in 2022 who is ready to accomplish the first top-up.
Plus the $25 free trial for new users, it is really worth trying to see if Fox Renderfarm is the right choice for you.
Happy render and keep creating, because in creating, we are each other’s inspirations and support.
