Slow UI in Blender with Crowdrender FIXED!! hell Yea!
Crowdrender is software for making rendering faster using multiple computers. Today James covers a new release that fixes bad UI slowdowns in Blender.
Welcome to V0.4.4! Its a short little video this one cause this new release has just one bug fix in it.
If you're interested in making rendering faster, the 'brute force' way without having to optimise anything, use exotic builds of blender/cycles or compromise on samples or resolution, more power usually gets the job done. Our addon is a nice way to get the job done too.
Crowdrender offers you a way to automate most of the job of controlling a render across multiple computers. We have a free version for the community to enjoy and a paid version that is a few versions ahead.
How much speed can you expect from adding more computers? Ideally if you add two computers, you'd get half the render time right? Add three and the render time drops to a third, and so on?
Ideally yes, but, there are overheads that mean your speed won't necessarily scale ideally. For example, if the setup phase of the render (called the sync phase in Blender's cycles engine) is a large portion of the render, then in the case of Crowdrender, you'll see less of a speed up (though stay tuned for version 0.5.0 which will remove this restriction for animations).
Anyway, try it for yourself, you can create a free account and try this for yourself - https://discovery.crowd-render.com/do...
