| Zitat: | First Cycles render ever on Renderfarm.fi!
Donnerstag, 1. März 2012 13:50:02
We are extremely proud to announce that Renderfarm.fi might well be the first renderfarm on the planet to have successfully implemented distributed rendering for Blender's new awesome render engine Cycles. Although still at a preliminary testing phase, most of the difficult work is now behind us. We've created proof of concept that our method of splitting and computing work in to small sample sets, collecting them and combining them into a high quality and high resolution finish on the server side works. Here's Nathan's test render from yesterday that proves our case, the image on the right is the result of merging 100 21-sample images together, in effect creating a 2100-sample image:

| Zitat: | Renderfarm.fi at GDC and SXSW, Blender meeting!
Samstag, 3. März 2012 14:57:33
I'm happy to say that this year I'll be representing Renderfarm.fi at both the Game Developers Conference (San Francisco, California) and South by Southwest (Austin, Texas). In case you're heading to either of these two great venues, please do seek me out! At GDC you can find me best at the Finnish section of the Nordic Pavilion (North Hall, booth 1824), while at SXSW you can find me best from the stand of the Finnish Mobile Association (stands 1123, 1125). In case you do get to either venue you can pick up your copy of the free and now classic Renderfarm.fi poster "Join the Blender Army", proven to also be hanging on the walls of great studios like the Blender Institute and Energia:

Haha, der ist auch nicht schlecht: 
| Zitat: | Renderfarm.fi goes Amiga!
Sun, 2012-04-01 11:15
It is important for our values that we support as many platforms as possible. In addition to our current platforms of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, we have decided to add support for some still strong but aging platforms. Today we finally finished our work on a the old Amiga raytracer "Traces" written by Ton Roosendaal in 1989 and our first renders are now rolling. Please report if you have any problems with the clients on your Amigas, and remember that no-one needs more than 16MB of memory!
You can check out the first test render ever over here! |

Schöne Zeitungsente !

Wenn wir wirklich allein im Weltall sein sollten,wäre das nicht eine gewaltige Platzverschwendung? (Contact) |

| Zitat: | Cycles Rendering on Renderfarm.fi for everybody!
Mon, 2012-04-02 12:50
Finally, after months of work, testing, debugging and fixing we have Cycles as a supported engine on the farm. You'll get the power of Cycles through CPU rendering on our grid, with the supported feature set. To be able to upload Cycles sessions you should make sure you have the latest uploader version, which you can find at Blender bf-extensions SVN. Place it in your Blender directory, and in there to 2.62/scripts/addons/

Nach einigen Monaten Arbeit, Tests, Debugging und Fehlerbehebung ist Cycles jetzt offiziell eine unterstützte Engine auf der Farm.

| Zitat: | Improved result validation, stability enhancements, future plans
Mon, 2012-07-09 12:07
For the past weeks I've been working on a new mechanism that handles our validation of results computed by our users.
We used to have a pixel-by-pixel comparison, with a small error tolerance hard-coded for the different file formats (PNG, EXR). The problem with such a comparison is that between different platforms the same rendering process can result in very small numerical differences. These differences are so small, that in most cases our eye can't distinguish between such results. Unfortunately, doing a pixel-by-pixel validation using their absolute values can quickly trigger the error tresholds, especially for larger images, invalidating results that good.

jesterKing hat in den letzten Wochen an einem neuen Mechanismus zur Validierung der Ergebnisse gearbeitet. Während die bisherige auf einem Pixel-by-Pixel-Vergleich basierte, dessen Fehlertoleranz sehr klein war, basiert sie jetzt auf einem Modell, daß das menschliche visuelle System simuliert, bekannt als Wahrnehmungs-Differenz.
Mehr dazu könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

| Zitat: | Improved acceptance policies, full speed ahead
Mon, 2012-08-06 13:08
We have been thinking on how to improve the service. As of late we have been getting so many renders that we need to figure out a way to priorizise our work. After some forum discussion we have finally arrived to a decision that should increase the service's performance a lot for those who really need it:
We will not render your session if your description does not clearly state that the animation is used in some kind of production, may it be a film project, commercial work or personal portfolio. Any kind of tests will be rejected if there is anything more urgent in the queue. If the description does not state that the render is for some kind of project it is assumed to be a test render.

Nach erhöhten Renderanfragen wurde das Regelwerk zur Akzeptanz von Sessions ein wenig überdacht.

Nach ein paar Tagen Auszeit wegen Hardwareproblemen ist die Homepage jetzt wieder verfügbar, allerdings steht bis jetzt nur das Grundgerüst. Forum und Konten fehlen noch. Das Layout scheint außerdem ein kleines Update erhalten zu haben.

Endlich mal wieder Neuigkeiten:
| Zitat: | Hack hack, fix fix
So.
Lots has happened since autumn 2012. As you already may know, our old server said Good Bye to the world in a less than gracious way. Since then we've worked tremendously hard to get more done than we originally had planned to be done during autumn and first half winter.
Since the server died we decided to implement a few larger changes at the same time. Changes that I had expected to start working on around this time, end January, begin February. Most of our work is now nearing completion, with a few nuts to be ***** still. Some harder, some easier.
We started with changing the OS. Gentoo is no longer our basis, instead we're on the much saner Debian environment. Apart from OS change, we've made some distinct changes to our infrastructure, of which I won't go into much detail. But the new setup now allows us to scale up with comparatively small effort, as well as keep a sane path of features between our development tables and the production environment. Everywhere we work now each environment resembles each other as closely as possible, cutting down the risk of errors during deployment.
The most visible part to the user is of course the new front-end, the website http://www.renderfarm.fi/ itself. For this also big (as in REALLY BIG) changes have been made to all parts and aspects of it. While it looks still incomplete (probably, because it is), we're confident that the work done on the new platform serves as a solid base for Great Things To Come this year.
There is one large issue remaining still, and that is the final encoding step of rendered work. I'm working very hard on getting it fixed too, after which there will be again focus on getting actual sessions rendered again. The current batch of sessions that are already in the render queue will be restarted, both as a way to ensure every frame gets rendered correctly, and as a first stress test of the New Stuff.
Enough of the talk, back to the work bench! |
Seit Herbst 2012 hat sich also viel getan.
Der Grund für den längeren Ausfall des Projektes war ein kaputter Server. Seit dem Ausfall gab es dann einige Änderungen, ein neues OS (Debian-Umgebung), eine bessere Infrastruktur, neues Front-End etc.
Derzeit wird das Encoding von gerenderter Arbeit generalüberholt. Wenn das geschafft ist, werden alle ausstehenden Sessions in der Renderqueue neu gestartet.
