I’ve been doing 3D professionally for over twenty-five years, built pipelines, ran jobs (large and small), creative directed at several award-winning studios, and during that time, I’ve used MANY different render engines. “What renderer should I use? Which one do you like the best?” Ok, so here’s my answer…

Here, the project was rendered with 8xRTX 3090 (you can see more specs in the video, which also outlines the process of transferring files, connecting to the iRender server, adjusting settings and kicking off the render).It’s the number one question artists ask me. The video below is a breakdown of how iRender works for a Cinema 4D and Octane project. This includes GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs and GeForce RTX 3090 GPUs with NVLink. A whole pipeline can be set up on an iRender server.įull control also means access to the newest hardware for rendering. In fact, users can install any application they choose.įurthermore, users can establish a custom production pipeline.

In addition to providing for an easy, cost-effective workflow, being able to fully control iRender’s servers has many advantages, especially for Cinema 4D and OctaneRender users.įirst, there’s support for other software or multiple versions of Cinema 4D and OctaneRender. The Cinema 4D/Octane Render workflow with iRender. Here, users connect remotely to one or more servers, install any software, plugins and add-ons they choose (it is only necessary to do this once), and fully control the entire render process, just like on a local machine. While other render farms might be loyal to their SaaS (Software as a Service) models–where users submit their files and receive the results, having no way to modify their work during the rendering process–iRender is famous for its IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) model. IRender is a professional GPU-accelerated cloud rendering service provider optimized for visual effects and general computer graphics work.
