"After the announcement on the Indigo forum that the RANCH supported the latest stable version of Indigo, I immediately converted my current 3D scene to test it! Having some experience with other renderfarms, I found the RANCH very easy to use, with very attractive prices, and various payment formulas (Blitz, Make Your Price...) really adapted to professional use.
Quality is excellent, and with the new Indigo features (light layers, lens shift...) post-processing becomes really easy. Last but not least, the 64-bit architecture of the RANCH offers near-limitless possibilities for rendering very complex scenes in high resolution.

"[...]I let it run today using the Ranch's paying service. I must say I'm impressed. This was a really difficult scene to render on my quad (it took two days and wasn't very clean in the end). I let it run for only 15 min and it reached an SPP of 2400 (resolution was 2400x1800) [...] the noise is still very acceptable fur such a complex scene (about 2m polys, multiple glass surfaces, lots of reflections, zillions of alpha maps, sun-behind-glass, etc.) and the cost very reasonable (I ended up paying about $70).
Anyone who's selling their images should definitely consider this, I think! "

"I've been running a few igs thru the Ranch and so far it works great, no problems encountered and it seems nice and simple to use... I am amazed at the speed of it. I have one render which I was never able to finish, the longest I let it render for was 4 days... I put it thru the Ranch, 15 minutes and it was up to 16000 spp, it took one resume to finish it off and its done... I wish I could give some more critical feedback but it all works as expected so far... Really nice work guys, unfortunately I can see myself spending too much money getting renders done quickly!"

"I'm sure lots of people have said it before but well, I'm gonna say it anyway: "Just tested it and it's freakin' awesome! [...] Just tested the resume rendering [...] It works like a charm. This feature is really helpful for any big .pigs project"

"On my system this result done in 45 min here would take about 7.5 Days!!"
