STORY OF THE MONTH | CGIFARM
Hi there,
I'm Diego Gadler, CEO of AXYZ design. I would like to share with you a very nice experience we had during this month. I have been contacted by a new renderfarm service about two weeks ago asking about getting licensed for using anima for 3ds max. We went through the process we have for licensing and gave them some hints about installing our software on their farm.
Last week we decided to test out their service and found a couple of bugs which rendered some images with missing actors. We got in touch with Alex on skype and discussed about this problem. Something that was missing from their 3ds max plugin to collect characters from the purchased assets folder appropriately. After a couple of hours the problem was solved and their plugin fixed.
After this experience I can state that they passed our tests providing a good support and the most important thing: our scenes rendered fine!
I suggest checking them out by following: https://www.cgifarm.com/renderfarm-quick-start-guide
The quick start guide gives you all the info you need to get started with CGIFarm. The service is fully automatic for 3DS Max only at this point, and from what I understand they are going to focus only on Max for now to get a great workflow.
So definitely go and check them out. They are still doing a lot of development to their platform but there's a working version which I would advice to take a look to this video:
