RANCH is a computing network for 3D rendering, optimized for Vue Infinite and xStream from E-on software. We can render your scenes (still images + animations) for the best price on the market!

Our system is automated, runs 24 hours a day, and is very user-friendly. Before submitting your scene, you will have to read the RANCH Renderfarm User Guide (direct download on the left of this page). Please read it carefully before uploading your .vue file. While your project is being rendered, e-mails will be sent to you to inform you of its status. When it is finished, you will be able to download your files on our secure FTP server.

Our renderfarm is composed of powerful 64-bit render nodes (with 8 GB RAM) based on Intel Core 2 Quad / Extreme CPU technology. Our server is a 64-bit dual Opteron dual core machine with 16 GB RAM. To see benchmark results and compare the performance of our renderfarm with the performance of the hardware you use daily, please go to the Benchmarks page.

The projects, or jobs, are processed in a ‘first-in first-out’ order, with a waiting list for following projects. All registered users can view the waiting list status in real time.

All you need to know to use the RANCH is in the RANCH Renderfarm User Guide in PDF format. A RANCH renderfarm sticky thread is also maintained at Cornucopia 3D.

If you want to know more about what makes the RANCH unique, and learn about renderfarming concepts (queued versus shared, how to evaluate the real performance behind the displayed GHz), then we believe you will find the PDF RANCH Philosophy document an interesting read.

Thank you for visiting the RANCH, we hope to count you soon among our customers.

The RANCH team.
