When production timelines are tight, local rendering becomes a bottleneck. Our render farm distributes frames across multiple nodes in parallel, drastically reducing rendering time. Projects that would block a workstation for days can be completed in hours, freeing you to iterate, refine, and deliver on schedule.
Easy to use
Ranch integrates directly into your workflow through RANCHecker and RANCHSync. No complex setup, no IT specialist required. Your project is checked, packed, and synchronized automatically, so you can keep working in your 3D software without technical friction.
Affordable
Rendering should accelerate your project — not inflate your budget. Our transparent pay-as-you-go pricing means you only pay for the computing time you actually use, with all required software licenses included. Plus, with €30 in free credits at registration, you can test the service without financial risk
Technical support
Our technical support service comes highly recommended by our customers, offering available and responsive assistance, ready to quickly solve your problems and answer all your questions.
Secured
Enjoy enhanced security with our farm, thanks to advanced confidentiality protocols (secure transfer, individual authentication per project, secure payment, etc.) and constant monitoring, thus protecting your confidential data.
Flexibility
Take advantage of a flexible, customised rendering solution to meet your specific needs, offering tailored options to perfectly fit your projects and creative requirements

Our render farm integrates seamlessly into professional 3D production pipelines. Whether you work in modeling, animation, architectural visualization, or VFX, Ranch ensures stable scene handling, asset management, and distributed rendering across CPU and GPU nodes — without disrupting your existing workflow.
Ranch supports the industry’s leading rendering engines including V-Ray, Arnold, Redshift, Corona, Octane, Cycles, Renderman and Karma, across both CPU and GPU infrastructures. Extensive plugin compatibility ensures that complex production environments — from advanced shaders and simulations to custom asset pipelines — render reliably in the cloud without scene conflicts or missing dependencies.

What is a render farm?
A render farm is a network of powerful computers (called render nodes) used to process 3D rendering tasks in parallel. Instead of rendering on a single workstation, frames are distributed across multiple nodes to significantly reduce rendering time. Cloud render farms like Ranch Computing provide remote access to this infrastructure, allowing artists and studios to render complex projects faster without owning hardware. → Learn more in our complete guide about render farms.
How much does a render farm cost?
Render farm cost depends on several factors, including scene complexity, resolution, number of frames, and whether you use CPU or GPU rendering. Ranch Computing uses a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model based on actual computing usage (GHz for CPU and OBH for GPU). New users receive 30€ in free credits to test the service before committing to larger projects.
What is the difference between CPU and GPU rendering?
CPU rendering relies on traditional processor cores and is often preferred for complex, memory-intensive scenes. GPU rendering uses graphics processing units to accelerate rendering calculations, often producing faster results for compatible engines. A professional render farm typically supports both CPU and GPU workflows to match different project requirements.
