Last week, I was going around looking for an online rendering solution. Most of the time I use my workstation at home, but the scenes I am working on seem a bit too much for him to render in a reasonable time. After searching online for a while, I have to say there are so many good choices for me. But a render farm stands out. This farm is also what I want to share with you guys. The awesome render farm I am mentioning is iRender Farm, or you can call iRender Cloud Rendering. I had a chance to talk with them. Follow me today to know the story behind iRender and why their rendering solutions are outstanding compared to other service providers.

iRender is a professional online cloud rendering service optimized for rendering tasks, CGI, VFX. They provide high-performance machines for both GPU-based and CPU-based rendering on the cloud. 3D artists, designers, or architects are able to harness the huge computing power of their top-of-the-line hardware and cutting-edge technology to speed up your render process. Your render time can be 10 times to 1000 times faster, or even more.

Thanks to their quality performance and great customer support, iRender has made over 30,000 customers all over the world happy and has been appreciated in many global rankings (CGDirector, Lumion Official, InspirationTuts CAD, All3DP, Radarrender, VFXRendering). 

What really makes iRender unique and stand out is their core IaaSmodel. Unlike the big names in the industry providing SaaS service, iRender decides to go on a different path, that is providing services in the IaaS model. With this model, iRender gives artists full control over their work, which is perfect for large, complex projects or special pipelines.

Here are the main benefits you will get when fully controlling iRender’s servers:

• Support all software, render engines, and plugins; 
• Very powerful, top-of-the-line hardware; 
• Cutting-edge technology;   
• Flexible pricing scheme ;
•  Dedicated 24/7 support.

An Awesome Render Farm for Rendering Your Projects

What does ‘iRender gives you full control over your work’ mean? Let me explain. Their workflow is like this. You will connect to iRender’s remote servers easily through a remote desktop file. As soon as you are on their server, you take full control of the machine and install any 3D software, render engines, and plugins you want on it. Set up the working environment once, and use it every time you rent a server. Then it is as simple as rendering on your computer at home.

Support All Software, Render Engines, and Plugins

iRender supports almost all software, render engines, and plugins for both GPU and CPU rendering. They support major applications such as 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, Redshift, Rhinoceros, KeyShot, Arnold, Vray, Revit and many more. But don’t worry if you use any applications that are less popular. Because you are free to install and use any software, with any version.

If you use a custom pipeline with a lot of plugins, add-ons, or proprietary tools, iRender is the right place. You can consider their remote server as your second workstation.

Moreover, iRender is one of the few render farms that support 1 GPU software and real-time software such as Lumion, Twinmotion, Unreal Engine, Iray, Daz Studio. They are proud to be recommended by Lumion Official as a powerful Lumion cloud service.

Very Powerful, Top-Of-The-Line Hardware

Until the end of March this year, RTX 3090 had been superior in rendering performance. Although later new models of GPU were released such as RTX 3090Ti, RTX 4080, or RTX 4090, GPU RTX 3090 still proves itself to be one of the most powerful GPUs for 3D rendering. At iRender Farm, there are a variety of servers from single GPU (1 x RTX 3090) to Multi-GPU (2/4/6/8 x RTX 3090). You can easily choose one server that is suitable for your demand and your software to get started.

Do you know what’s more? Servers with GeForce RTX 4090 are available at iRender just a few weeks after this graphics card was out. Being NVIDIA’s newest flagship card, RTX 4090 promises an enormous leap in performance and efficiency.

So iRender offers users like us two high-end GPUs - RTX 3090 and RTX 4090. But to keep up with these ‘beasts’, their servers need a powerful CPU to avoid bottlenecks. Let’s see what CPU they have. iRender uses AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX. 

Built using AMD’s 7nm Zen 2 core architecture with a sWRX8 socket, the Threadripper PRO 3955WX processor is designed to deliver exceptional performance for professionals such as artists, architects, engineers and data scientists. Featuring 16 cores and 32 threads with a 3.9GHz base clock frequency, 4.3GHz boost frequency and 64MB of L3 cache, it significantly reduces rendering times for 8K videos, high-resolution photos and 3D models.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Physical Machines 
 iRender allows users to access and have full control over their physical servers (machines). That means when renting the server, you use 100% power of hardware resources, including GPUs, CPU, RAM, storage, etc.

Nvlink for Large and Complex Scenes
If 24GB of VRAM is not enough for your scene, you can use NVLink to access more memory. You can always request an NVLink Bridge on iRender’s dual GeForce RTX 3090 servers.

Extra Services Available on Request
iRender provides extra services like changing packages without having to reinstall your data, expanding your image thresholds or storage capacity, and cloning to duplicate your working images. You can chat with iRender’s support staff via the chat box on their website for instructions on how to do this.

Flexible Pricing Scheme

As well as hourly rental rates, you can save from 8% to 20% with iRender’s fixed rental feature. There is a six-hour rental package for anyone who wants to rent a machine during their working day, while for extremely large projects, iRender advises choosing a daily, weekly or monthly rental package.

In addition, iRender offers special benefits for their Prime customers: free Redshift/Octane floating licenses to use on iRender servers. For example, a Redshift subscription normally costs $45/month, but users who buy enough render credits to become Prime customers will be able to use Redshift licenses without usage or maintenance costs.

Dedicated 24/7 Support

iRender has a great support team working 24/7 to support and handle your problems quickly and effectively, saving you time and money.

We reccommend to visit iRender and give it a try. We think you won’t be disappointed.
