Lending Computing Power (Animation)
BallisticBricks started this discussion in Help and Tips

Hi, Mecabricks forums,
Its been a hot minute since my last post but I'm back an I'm looking for some help with an animation project I'm working on for my youtube channel Ballistic Bricks. I've rendered out the first few shots however it is taking far longer than I had initially hoped. This is the reason I'm reaching out to the community for either help rendering or suggestions to use render farms. Previous experience with render farms has often fallen short due to the lack of support for the custom scripting in the mecabricks templates. If anyone has any suggestions or would like to offer help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
BB

I was about to suggest SheepIt! Render Farm, but then I realized that wouldn't work since SheepIt! doesn't support custom scripts I believe. I would be happy to just take the source files (.blend files) and render them. I don't have any kind of "professional" rendering studio like Renderbricks, but I think I can lend a renderer. πŸ˜›

This would be really appreciated, ill keep in touch with you. I would be sure to credit yourself, and any youtube channels of yours in the description. Also if I can offer you any cash compensation let me know!

Thanks,
BB

No problemo! Don't worry about cash. This is for the cause of CGi and rendering! πŸ˜›

Hey, saw your stop motions stuff, good work! Those are pretty cool to watch πŸ˜ƒ I'd love to help, but I have only one computer, and it can barely handle rendering. @Samino hate to correct your spanish, but it's problema not problemo πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

You're right! I was kind of replicating what you might call "slang". πŸ˜›

πŸ˜‰ No problemo

πŸ˜› πŸ˜„

When will you be asking us to render your projects BallisticBricks?

I can lend a hand. Or, computer power rather. πŸ˜› I have an i5-2300 that is used pretty much exclusively for rendering with SheepIt. However it has only 4GB of RAM. πŸ˜‰ I'll accept payment if you deem it necessary.
Renderbricks would likely be a good person to ask for help.

I can also take Samino's share, lol. πŸ˜„ sarcasm

Hey! The "points", as you might call it, does seem tempting, but I think the feeling of helping someone is worth more than gold. πŸ˜‰

Awesome I really appreciate this guys, ill finish off a few of the shots I need rendered out and upload them within the next day or two. I definitely willing to compensate anyone willing to help, normally I would do it myself, however, I figure it will take about two months of solid rendering on my system alone.

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated

Thanks,
BB

@Samino I like both. πŸ˜„ My personality type is motivated by money, I can't help it. πŸ˜›

Update: Just got more RAM, it now has 8GB rather than 4GB.
