    SheepIt Render Farm
    When the owner of a project adds their project to the queue, the service splits the animation into single frames to render, sends each frame to a connected computer and aims to optimize its choice based on the available memory, as well as the CPU/GPU power. You can add as many as you want but you can only have 2 renderings at the same time. This limit is set to avoid having a person flooding the render farm with too many projects. If the render farm is indeed flooded this limit will be temporarily lowered to 1 (It does happen, but no more than a few times a year).

Fast global illumination: light/photon mapping – biased, but very fast and not much dependent on number of ray recursions, path tracing – unbiased with serval sampling optimizations, irradiance caching – for fast, view independent, reusable GI solution storage, caustics. Light models: point/directional, line lights, area lights, background light, HDR image based lighting, lights pre sampling. Instancing: allows repeated re-use of the same geometry in multiply locations in the rendered scene with very low memory consumption, instanced geometry can be also instances, even self cloning is possible with user defined number of recursions.

    FPrime

    Worley Labs

    FPrime is a rendering engine with a unique design focus. Unlike traditional renderers, FPrime is not just a final output step. Instead it is your companion during the entire process of creation from initial setup, through texturing and lighting, keyframing, and of course final rendering. It revolutionizes workflow by giving you constant feedback about your current scene and the effect of changes. You can always just see your render. Speed is the key feature that makes FPrime's feedback possible. That speed means you don't wait for LightWave. FPrime instead is using every moment to help you and prevent you wasting your time. FPrime's views are flexible. Multiple simultaneous renders are still fast and give you more feedback. With LightWave alone, radiosity effects are hard to anticipate during setup and take a long time to render. With FPrime, you have instant feedback.

Pairing the Omniverse Platform with an NVIDIA RTX™ A6000 running on NVIDIA Studio Drivers enables him to, as he states, ”put it all together, light it, render it, and have everything in context using RTX rendering—all without ever exporting the data to and from applications.
