Re: farming out a render?

just had a look.

its weird, it says all the right things, but, not being very technical, is
confusing as hell. have you used this service? im gettin a bad case of not
trusting the internet with my company credit card!!! it looks damn
impressive though, i could render 10,000 frames, make one hell of an edit
and be WELL under budget! and would you say its secure? im also worried
about sending stuff from here in the UK, to the US plus the site kinda
doesnt look like i could trust it (?!) ive had to sign a lot of
non-disclosure agreements about the work i do. it would be fantastic to
offload all this rendering, but gotta have peace of mind with it.

thanks for the link.

Hi people

Anyone had any experience of paying for LW renders? damn client wants 5
times as many frames as i got time to render and it would be just AWESOME
if i could send someone my scene and get the frames back! its just
clutching at straws at this point, bit of a maybe. If anyone uses any
company and could recommend, it would be good. Be worth benchmarking them
anyway to find out ballpark costs.

I really should try get my head round screamernet tooo, but its just too
much. getting brainoverload as it is. it just dont make any sense to me
at all.

ps. can i use screamernet on mac's? theres about 30 G5's at work just
sitting doing nothing all night every night..be cool to harness em (when
i get me head around SN!)

cheers
Iain
