Payment Overview
Payments made via PayPal are secure and trustworthy. Keyframe Multimedia, Inc. has been a Business PayPal member in good standing since 2000.
All accounts come with a private FTP server for file uploading & downloading. Final results can also be delivered via DVD & CD for a small upcharge.
All projects are personally overseen and managed. Each one is processed on a first come/first served basis in the server queue.
Please bake or freeze any plugins you have to ensure that you get the desired results. Even though we will maintain all the most commonly used plug ins on the farm, slight differences in floating point calculations can make a difference in the final render so whatever baking you can do will help to ensure the expected result.
*Unlimited CPUs refers to all available CPUs that are not in use at the time by other RenderFriend clients. However, we cap our client usage to no more than 4 at any single time so preserve quality bandwidth.

As a long time 3D freelancer, one of the things that was important to me was being able to predict my costs on a project so I can pass those along to the client. At RenderFriend, our pricing structure is based on fixed costs so you can create your project budget without a lot of "what-ifs". The Ghz/hour pricing method is fine, but it's not always a "known" final number. If your project costs less than the estimate...great. If it costs more then you need to either absorb it or go back to your client. I much prefer knowing my costs in advance without any major surprises. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of your team! |
