This will ensure that Finder copies the file instead of moving it, and will help avoid weird permissions issues. When using Finder to copy files to a folder on FVCentral, it’s good practice to hold down the OPTION key on the keyboard as you drag-and-drop. ![]() In order for the render farm workers to render your shot, the project file and all assets used by that project file need to be in your Renderfarm folder on FVCentral.Ĭopy your project file and all assets for that project to your Renderfarm folder if they are not already there. Our render farm currently works with After Effects, Maya, and Cinema 4D. The render farm provides access to 168 CPU cores. Render farms are often measured in terms of “computer cores”, and a typical lab workstation has about 12 CPU cores. While six render workers may not seem like many, each one has more than twice the computing power of a lab workstation. The School of Film/Video has a render farm that is comprised of six (6) Mac Pros, each with a 28-core Intel processor, 192 GB of RAM, and a Radeon Pro Vega II Duo MPX Module providing 64 GB of HBM2 memory. However, if you have a render farm comprised of 20 computers that are each as powerful as your workstation, your shot would render in just 50 minutes. Using a render farm can greatly speed up your rendering while also leaving your computer workstation available for you to continue working on other shots.įor example, if you have a shot that is 100 frames long and each frame takes 10 minutes to render on your workstation, you’d have to wait 1,000 minutes (16.7 hours!) for your workstation to finish rendering the shot. The networked computers that do the rendering are called “workers.” This is achieved by parceling out the frames to be rendered amongst the networked computers. A render farm is a group of computers that work together to render frames of an animated or visual effects shot. ![]()
