What is the difference between a traditional render farm and a cloud rendering render farm?

What is the difference between a traditional render farm and a cloud rendering render farm?

Generally, a render farm is a cluster of computers used to provide CGI (computer-generated imagery) through a batch processing method. While, a traditional one means building it on your own, which means you need to buy a lot of computers and fix them yourself whenever there is a problem. It is a local render farm, use local nodes.

Cloud rendering render farm, aka cloud render farm, online render farm, is a render centre that you can send your asset and render from far away, they are connected by the internet, “Cloud”, means internet. It becomes a kind of online services for artists to upload their tasks to the services providers, and download their final render results when completed.

However, when render farm is put on the ‘cloud’ it means faster because commercial render farms have better and more high capacity nodes, and some of them provide customer services and TD support for technical issues, like Fox Renderfarm. For eg, you are in India and you use cloud rendering render farm, wherever their servers are in, you still can use their platform to control their nodes to render your files, it can save your local hardware cost. if you don't have a stable render, using a cloud render farm would be much better than build an in house render farm, low cost and higher efficiency.

The advantages of using a cloud rendering render farm,

1. Powerful rendering speed

The top render farm companies can provide thousands of rendering nodes which have powerful CPUs and GPUs, it could definitely save your time on the rendering process.

2. Cost Effective

Compared with the traditional render farm, it would be much more cost-effective especially for a big project. You don't need to spend too much money to purchase hardware and maintain the network, and don't need to hire people to manage it.

3. 24*7 Customer Service and Technical Support

Around the clock customer service and technical support could always be a lifesaver if we met any problem when rendering but don't know how to solve it. The professional service team could totally help you with that.

4. Easy to Use Desktop App

Some online render farms have their own desktop app which has a lot of great features, such as drag and drop project submission, preview during rendering, automatically uploading and downloading project etc.

The disadvantages of using a cloud rendering render farm,

1. Security

Some small render farm will not sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement with customers, so you'd better find some high reputation company who had worked with big producing companies on famous films, if ever worked with OSCAR winners would be the best.

2. Software, Render and Plugin Compatibility

Different people would have different habits, so the more software, render & plugin the cloud render farm supports, the better. And if the online render farm can even support custom's own plugin, it would be a great added-value service.

Putting everything done on cloud is a kind of trend with a high-speed internet connection and large data transmission become more and more available. But the choice between the traditional one and online render farm depends on the needs of the project. But it’s always worth trying the cloud render farms, coz most of them give new users a free trial, like Fox Renderfarm, US$25 free trail is waiting for you.

The current situation with the spread of infection does not greatly stimulate the field of computer graphics regarding interesting news. Especially good ones. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be able in different situations to look for something positive and new ways and opportunities. We have repeatedly noted that the skill and experience of using online render farms are very useful, even if you are involved in simple architectural visualizations and your computer can easily cope with rendering. At some point, quality requirements can go off-scale or tighten the deadlines, and here the render of the farm will always come to the rescue. There’s nothing to say about animation - instead of rendering for days, you can pay a reasonable amount of money and hand over the project in 1 day, to do something else. Among the excuses that I often heard about the impossibility of using render farms, the following were most often mentioned: - There is no time (well, ok, now everyone has abruptly enough time) - I have my own render farm at work (now many studios will be reduced and maybe it’s worth preparing for work on freelance) - Now there is no need (when the need arises, it is usually too late one hour before the project is completed to learn something new) In short, dear friends, we strongly recommend that you pay attention to the best offers of farm renderings that we have to provide and recommend. Fox Renderfarm Special Offer Fox Renderfarm is one of the most famous and successful farms, noted not only for quality services for studios and freelancers from around the world but also for participating in large-scale full-length projects!

How much time will I save with a render farm?
How much time will I save with a render farm?
In the film and animation industry, we call the Cluster a "render farm". Many network management technicians like to call "cluster computing systems", and industry insiders prefer to call it "[render farm](https://www.foxrenderfarm.com/ "render farm")." As users have higher and higher requirements for the quality of CG projects, the demand for local machine configuration upgrades is getting higher and higher. At the same time, higher and higher quality CG projects mean that rendering also requires a lot of time. This is especially true for individual users. The higher the quality of the final image, the longer the rendering time, which is also the most time-consuming step in production. So, how much time can we save if we use an online render farm for rendering project? Will work efficiency be improved? These amazing details of Toy Story 4 also require an amazing amount of rendering to achieve The first thing to understand is that rendering speed is closely related to the production of files and computer hardware. The larger the file or the more special effects, the slower the rendering will be. Computer hardware can increase speed slightly with files of the same size. Or you can optimize the production file or use some other tools to improve the rendering speed. Pixar used a noise reduction software in Toy Story 4 and cut the rendering time in half. Take an interior design work as an example. If you want to render a picture with a resolution of 6000X4500, the rendering time of a personal computer is about 6 to 10 hours. If you use an online render farm, you may only need 1 or 2 hours or even less. And if the computer freezes or errors when rendering for a long time, the previous rendering time may be wasted. Is render farms much faster than personal computers? Why is it much faster than a personal computer? After the user uploads the file to the render farm, the system will assign a task to multiple servers to work at the same time. The same configuration of 10 or 100 machines renders at the same time, which is naturally much faster than a computer. So it can be assumed that a 10-second special effects shot takes 10 hours for a local single machine rendering. If 10 machines are used for rendering, then the rendering time becomes 1 / 10th of an hour, which is 1 hour. If 100 machines are used for rendering it can be rendered in less than 10 minutes. It can call a large number of machines in a short time, and it seems that only the render farm can complete it. So do you now know how much time a render farm can save you? If you still don't know how much time you can try to use our render farm calculator to make a rough estimate, the more accurate method is to use our render farm for submission calculations.

Are render farms worth it?
Are render farms worth it?
Are render farms worth it? The answer is sure, YES. When your project is tight, the render farm can accelerate the rendering speed of your project, greatly reducing rendering time, and allowing your project to be completed ahead of or on time. Renderfarm is also a good choice when your local machine can't meet the urgent rendering needs, reducing your cost, labor, and resources, but achieving the desired results. When your local machine doesn't fit your rendering needs well, you don't need to upgrade your device, use the render farm, it's easy to use anywhere, anytime. Are render farms worth it? Why it's worth using, first let's understand what a render farm is. A render farm is a large group of computers designed and organized to meet rendering services, each called a node. The calculations that occur are called parallel calculations because each node can be given a specific and unique task, so their calculations can occur in parallel (simultaneously). Typically, the task of the host computer is to assign tasks to each render node, and the software application that does this is called rendering management software or queue manager, and each render farm has its own management software. The job assigned to each node by the host computer can be a series of images, a shot, or one of the layers (channels) or other parts of a shot. The host computer must be able to intelligently assess the needs of the entire job, the capabilities of each node, and the current network state. Once the render node has finished rendering, immediately assign another task and keep the busy state of all nodes. Render farms have more than one hundred rendering servers compared to the normal rendering process, and even have greater scale and adjustability. And the software, renderers and plug-ins that the renderfarm can support are richer. Professional commercial render farms require professional staff to coordinate and solve problems encountered in various renderings. Even with greater rendering requirements, the render farm can complete the rendering work as time demands. Are render farms worth it? When you use a normal computer to complete a rendering task, it may take hours or even days to complete them. A powerful renderfarm with multiple render nodes can be rendered in a few minutes. Using Fox Renderfarm as an example, sometimes your local computer takes 1 month to complete the rendering task, but only 5 mins or less to complete the rendering task with Fox Renderfarm. And in the process, if there is any problem occurred, the rendering software will find and issue an alert to let the staff know, instead of the artist always staring at the computer. So the render farm is better able to control the time and labor costs in the production, helping the artists to focus on the creation. For rendering? Please hand it to the online render farm.
