Rendering Modo projects with RenderStreet just got easier – and also cheaper, with our monthly plan.
The new Modo plug-in helps launch a Modo render on RenderStreet with just one click. There is no need to consolidate the file manually or collect the assets to send them to our farm. Our plug-in will do this for you automatically. In addition to images, it will also collect image sequences, IES lights, and MDD files and send them to our farm along with the project.
That’s right. We have upgraded the RenderStreet GPU machines for the third time in as many years, so we can offer you faster than ever renders at a lower cost. The new T4 GPUs are power-efficient data center GPUs based on Nvidia’s Turing architecture and each new server holds 4 such GPUs, with 16 GB of RAM per GPU. Read on to see how they fare against the previous-gen Volta boards in our rendering battery of tests.
One more thing before you begin: the new GPUs are already live – in fact, if you use RenderStreet, you have been using them for the past month. The hourly price remains the same, which means that your renders are now cheaper – because they complete faster.
We put the new boards to our standard battery of eight Blender Cycles rendering tests, to see how they perform. Each scene was rendered twice, and the lowest time was recorded. Let’s see the numbers! (new GPUs are shown in green)
The year that just ended was a different one, with significant events happening: we lived through a worldwide pandemic, that changed the way we all live. On a different scale, another very meaningful event happened: a country completed the process of leaving the European Union for the first time in history.
As the only thing we can do is to push through, we focused on doing exactly that. And looking back now, I can say that 2020 was, for RenderStreet, the year with the highest number of major improvements from our 8-year activity.
