Absolutely incredible work, and an inspiration to every Blender artist. No renderfarms, no expensive subscriptions, no pointless corporate bureaucracy. Just creativity let loose in an open source tool. Bravo to everyone involved!

Your favorite hand-drawn 90s Disney Animation films? Brought to you in part by supercomputing tech meant for nuclear weapons R&D.

Which is still pretty much the same situation today; animation/VFX renderfarms remain to some extent spiritual cousins of DoE supercomputers. (3/3)

There's a reason why renderfarms have quietly operated at the same scale with minimal opprobium: they came up only when there was a demonstrated need, and not some wishful overprovisioning and overpowering like gen AI data farms.

When we started doing 3d renders we started on single computers. Renderfarms became a thing only much later as scenes became more complex. The AI bros are doing shit ass end backwards by starting with farms first.

an interesting test i did was take a screen shot elsewhere and drop it in and have it enhance it
WOW detail galore
i have some 3d models that need renderfarms to work
i got one to work once its on a scale thats crazy

online renderfarms:
- can utilize massive computing power
- it costs money, of course
- depending on internet connection, the time it takes to download rendered frames can be longer than rendering everything with my pc
