What is a render farm?
A render farm is a group of computers connected together to complete a large task. In the case of 3D rendering, most of the time a render farm will distribute frames of an animation to multiple computers. Instead of having a single computer work for 100 days, you can have 100 computers work for 1 day.
How does Sheep it! work?
When the owner of a project adds their scene to the jobs to queue, the service splits the animation into single frames to render, sends each frame to a connected computer and aims to optimize its choice based on the available memory, as well as the CPU/GPU power.
What is the difference compared to other render farms?
The difference is in the word distributed, as in the service doesn’t own machines that render, but instead relies on people to share their computers. Thus,there is virtually no limit to the amount of power the render farm can have.
Is it really free?!
Yes, it is! We don’t have any hidden tax like paying to get the final result, everything will be free. We only rely on donation and ads to pay for the domain, server and development. You can donate on this page. We accept PayPal, bitcoin and dogecoin.
