On-Demand Rendering Service Works with Maya, 3ds Max, Sketch-Up and More

Cloud-computing service provider RevUp Render said its new cloud rendering service supports Chaos Group's V-Ray 2.0 rendering software. That means studios using software that supports distributed rendering — like Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max and Trimble (formerly Google) SketchUp — can have their rendering done in the cloud, freeing up local computing resources.

RevUp Render has previously geared its offerings to architects, engineers, and designers, but with the addition of V-Ray support, it's targeting 3D artists and VFX facilities as well. “Traditional render farms have limitations—from shared resources that lower compute performance to the inability to interact with a rendering as it is processing, said RevUp Render founder Ry Bruscoe in a prepared statement. “With RevUp Render these limitations are no longer an obstacle to productivity.” 

RevUp Render's cloud-rendering service is a self-service platform based on Nvidia's iray rendering technology. Customers "rent" render nodes as needed, paying for the time used to finish their render. A mobile feature is designed to allow users to control "cloud workstations" from mobile devices like iPads, iPhones, Android devices, and Chromebooks.
