THE RANCH/
PRACTICAL CASE
Here is what happens when a customer sends a project to the RANCH.
We hope it will help you better visualize the complete process :
|
| |
|
Mr Smith connects to the RANCH website and logs in his user account.
|
| |
|
|
To submit
his project, he enters
his scene’s parameters,
his credit card information (not necessary if Mr Smith already has a RANCH Safe with enough credits),
and uploads his scene
(please see the
Renderfarm User Guide
for details) to the RANCH.
|
| |
|
|
The project
enters the waiting list,
or is directly rendered
if first in line.
|
| |
|
|
When
the rendering of the project
begins, a first e-mail
is sent to Mr Smith.
|
| |
|
|
While
his project is rendering,
Mr Smith can check its
status on the online waiting
list. Already rendered frames can be automatically downloaded on Mr Smith's computer if he is using our RANCHSync utility and has enough credits in his safe. |
| |
|
|
When
it is finished, Mr Smith
receives three e-mails.
One is sent by the RANCH Runner and confirms the
end of the rendering.
The other e-mails are
sent by our web server.
The first contains the
link to the final payment
page (if the render isn't already paid by the safe credits). When the payment
is done, the last e-mail
sent contains the necessary
information to download
the files (ftp server
to contact, project directory,
project account and password).
|
| |
|
|
Mr Smith
connects to our ftp server
with his favorite ftp
client (we recommend FileZilla)
and downloads his files. Downloading by HTTP is also possible.
|
|
| |
| |
|
Each project
is assigned a temporary ftp
account and directory. Mr Smith
has 5 days to download his files
before the project account expires.
