You can't imagine how happy I am with your service and all your help, I've had a very difficult situation with this particular project because it is my first Vray animation, and a lot of problems came in the whole process, I really really really appreciate all your help sincerely.
Wayne deGroot, deGroot Design & Drafting
Renderfriend INDEED. Perfectly named, Dan. I am not sure where to start to thank you for what you have done so far. I have to extend my sincere thanks. The fact that you had the patience to help with our light problem is really wonderful. I couldn't be anymore pleased.

Thanks again for all your work, rendering using Modo is now so much easier.
Great service you’ve got there, I will definitely send more work your way in the future – I wish other renderfarms were as easy to use as yours!

RenderFriend - online render farm for Cinema4D, Vray, Modo, Maxwell Render, After Effects and Blender

Image by Kevin Capizzi

From large scale still images for architectural visualization to GI-intensive animations for futuristic or medical projects, RenderFriend has rendered projects for HDTV, film, commercials, promos and science.

All of your projects are manually supervised to ensure a high degree of quality control and efficiency. While other farms rely on absentee supervision and client-side management, clients can't always tell if there is a flaw in their file which will waste valuable time if allowed to proceed. Therefore, we like to personally oversee the renders on our farm to spot problems before they become a time drain. And really, the entire point of a render farm is to speed things up and so we are committed to that.

LATEST RENDERFRIEND NEWS

AUGUST 2009 – RenderFriend now supports Maxwell Render 1.7 on all render nodes.

JULY 2009 – RenderFriend launches it's new web site which better depicts the diversity of clients we render work for.

MAY 2009 – RenderFriend upgrades to 12GB RAM on 80% of our nodes to accommodate even the most memory intensive renders. In doing so, we were able to render some large still images that extended the entire length of a wall, floor to ceiling for an upscale New York restaurant. The content was glass, reflection and refraction on top of each other. It was a memory intensive job for the size required.

Mission Statement

Daniel Underhill My goal in running RenderFriend is to be an active partner in your projects, not just an anonymous 3rd party service. We're here to personally watch over your files to prevent wasted time by catching issues early. We're here to help YOU impress YOUR client and you can think of us as your personal, in-house extension of your design team.
