If, like mine, your workstation can’t keep up with your bonkers scenes, an online Render Farm is a blessing. You can still do the crazy projects of your wildest imagination and your own computer won't have a melt-down overnight.
I use PixelPlow, but we’ll go through how to prepare your scenes for most types of farm rendering: Online, offline, net render, or team render. So you can render with without horrible flickering, glitches or strange behaviour from your simulations.
TUTORIAL: How to use an Online Render Farm with Cinema 4D:
00:00 – ¡Hola!
