Title: Render Network
Post by: Jpjapers on 2024-12-12, 12:18:56

I just stumbled across this and thought it was interesting.

https://rendernetwork.com/

Its essentially a p2p style render farm if I'm understanding correctly.
Id love to see something like this for CPU renderers to somewhat democratise render farming. Does such a project exist?

Its a long shot and probably a pipe dream but I cant help but imagine if something like DR Server had additional functionality to allow users to 'rent' their licensed workstations as render nodes in a p2p fashion it would be a useful addition seeing that chaos cloud compatibility doesn't appear to be in the pipeline for corona.

I really wonder why it has taken that long to support corona on their own render farm..

Isn't this be a legal nightmare in terms IP and safe harbour regulations word wide? You probably have to sign a couple of waivers since no one can guarantee that the data is safe.
I know I wouldn't use it on any job and probably would be hesitant with my private data, too.

I would imagine its encrypted in some way. One of the main investors is J.J.Abhrams so its not some tin pot thing.
