cloud rendering

[Barry]

Are there any cloud rendering services that work with TwilightRender Thanks

[Chris]

There are no official services. There was possibly one unofficial farm floating around for V1 but I don't think it ever became a reality.

Ok, so like what do you guys do when you have a big complex model with lots of lights,etc to render at a high resolution? And lets say you have several of these to do? I have only one computer with a high end GPU but cant do GPU rendering with twilight to my knowledge. And now you are saying I cant send it to a cloud or a farm? I like a lot of things about Twilight, it has a lot of the capabilities of Vray but a much better UI. but this is kind of a deal killer which forces me back toward V-ray unless you have a good process I don't know about. Do you? I wouldn't mind paying more for a Twilight option with GPU rendering or some cloud capability.

One would need to export to Kerkythea (free) and net-render with Kerkythea.
In your case with only one machine available, if it's not fast enough for you, you need to use lower render settings (Low+ is actually fantastic in many cases for interiors), or go to a different rendering solution that has a farm available.

If I use the Kerkythia net renderer, does it support all features of Twilight, including its materials, its lights, Hdri, etc?

[Fletch]

Everything in your Twilight scene will export to KT just fine (lights, materials, sky/hri settings, etc), with the exception of the animation path. The cameras will export, you just need to join them together in KT with the KT native walkthrough animation tool.

Just wondering, is it still the case that there's no cloud rendering service for Twilight? This may be the deal-breaker for me, too, that sends me to another renderer...

[Chris]

Unfortunately, no, at least none official and none that we know of. Maybe someone else is aware of an unofficial service option.
