SuperFast rendering for 3ds Max 2009 & 2010 (64-bit)
The original Train.max animation is part of the SPECapc benchmark suite.
   
You can download our modified version of the Train scene that we use as a benchmark.
 
Please note that we have increased the resolution and the number of frames of the Train scene to get a meaningful benchmark on the RANCH.
   
More details on these tests are available in the RANCH Renderfarm User Guide.
   
Please note that efficiency may vary with the nature of the scene.

The total project time includes render time, network overhead, frames compression and ftp account creation, but in any case you would only pay the render time. The speed difference between a standard PC and the RANCH may vary with the nature of the scene.
