Tom Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, im currently building full CG animation in Houdini, since there will be lot of rendering, I want to use render farms. I checked Amazon cloud pricing, it was good solution for, me but I want know if there is other render farm solutions out there. I dont have huge budget, so want to get best out of my money. Thanks in advance, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 it seems there isn't a lot of renderfarm services for houdini/mantra . I'm also interested to know if there are other solutions , and to hear experiences/feedback from user. Thanks, Sylvain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all I know, the integrated Amazon EC2 Hcloud is the only publicly available Houdini farm service right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelia Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Pity that you didn't find Fox Renderfarm last year,it supports Houdini well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I testeed EC2 a couple of years ago but was disappointed. It was pricey - the low Amazon charge offset by the pricey Houdini render license fee - and a pain to set up though, at the time, it was still pretty new.

Eagle66 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi, any updates? Also looking for public HD renderfarms, otherwise it,'s uninteresting for complex particle sim or huge renders. Two dozen or more EC2 are to expensive and not helpfull... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Fox Renderfarm has extended their Houdini support recently, haven't tried yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle66 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Okay,thanks. I can't find Mantra in the List, http://www.foxrenderfarm.com/features-manual.html ...but will asked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) http://www.foxrenderfarm.com/specs-software.html I was testing them a few months ago, and it was very basic, too basic to be useful, but they meant to extend their Houdini's support- and I recently have got an email claiming they are ready for test drive. I just haven't found time yet. Edited January 10, 2014 by symek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
