About 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).

With our render-as-a-service system, you get unlimited power 24/7. Currently available for Maya and 3D Studio Max. Shorten delivery times according to the required processing power. In addition, all power that is not reserved by other customers is shared between active projects to reduce even further your render time without an increase in the GHZh price. Take advantage of our promotions and benefit from free additional credits. Thanks to our own high-efficiency data center, our prices are unbeatable. From 0.02 €/GHzh (€1.4 per render hour). Most of the render farms in the world provide only a limited management system and setup service, usually based on hardware they don't have on their own with a non-exclusive use. When it comes to High-Performance Computing (HPC) and when deadlines to get fast results are critical (which is the case with the rendering process), working that way might have many damaging consequences in terms of costs, versatility, answer time, etc.

Our rendering farm plugin allows you to never leave your favorite 3D application. Securely send all your settings to our servers and store automatically rendered frames on your hard drive. This means that there are no more additional steps to get your files or wait for downloads that last forever. Start working with your files rendered immediately. Our farm serves to dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to complete a rendering. Valuable time that, in our opinion, could be used much better in working and exploring new creative ideas. You have an average of between 400 and 300,000 cores when rendering on the GPU.

Our GPU farm consists of many individual systems, each with 2 Nvidia GTX 1060, GTX 1070, or RTX 2060 Super GPUs. Each GPU has 6GB or 8GB of VRAM. GPU nodes have 32 to 64GB of system memory. During our search for a good render farm service, we began taking a critical look at how other farms operated. We quickly discovered several ways to increase accessibility, affordability, and security in every aspect of your render farm experience. Pixel Plow is the continuation of our effort to provide this experience in a simple, competitive package. With thousands of clients in over 90 countries around the world, Pixel Plow is quickly becoming a dominant force in the cloud rendering industry. Our instances of 3D Studio Max, Maya, Lightwave, Modo, Blender, Terragen, are the same as what you run on your computer.

    "Sheepit Renderfarm: A must use for Blender users."

    Posted 2024-03-22

    Pros: Sheepit is completely free, and far faster than any other product like Google Colab. The aspect of teams is very fun and addicting, and it seems to be completely safe.

    Cons: There were some issues I experienced in my renders with GPU rendering, where different processors would not always create the same result.

    Overall: I found it to be very pleasing to donate to art, it's a great thing that every blender user should use, and something anybody can contribute to.

    "It's fast and it's free"

    Posted 2024-03-20

    Pros: You get more than you give with SheepIt. This service requires you to render other users' projects to gain points, which you can use to render your own projects. For every frame you render, you get enough points to render approximately 4 frames of your own.
    I've had 20+ users rendering my project at once, and it was about 30x faster than rendering on my PC. No complaints about the rendering speed.
    The render client supports CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs.
    And it's free!

    Cons: Sometimes, a frame can take an extremely long time to render. It's not too much of an issue with large projects, though.
    It's not suitable for projects you must keep private, because people who render your project can see thumbnails of the frames they rendered.
    At the time of writing, SheepIT does not support AMD or Apple graphics.

    Overall: I believe SheepIT is the best free render farm. You have to render other users' frames to render your own, but it's a fair system. It's a good way to speed up your rendering and help other users.
