For now, I think respower is performance/price the best choice, here is my first attmept of using their rendering service – http://www.renderplace.com/blenderfiles/little_fella.mov

I'm not sure if Belnder 2.45 is supported, it is not evident on the front page or something else, but during job submission there is an option of choosing e.g. yafray-blender version, thus my assumption is yes …

Anyhow, I recommend service they provide to others as well.

I'm asking you again to send my check for the second quarter of 2007. . You have had the use of my money for three months. I invested in your operation in good faith. You betrayed all of your investeos and I feel sorry for the people who trusted you. I have no intention of letting this matter slide.

I am suppose to receive one more ckeck plus pay for my computers. I am toytally disappointed with you and the way I've been treated. You are certainly not the people of character that I will ever trust again. Please send my check, IMMEDIATELY

Djameika:
That's exactly right. As long as it takes less than 15 minutes per frame here, you pay $20 and get to queue up as much as you like.

Horace:
The room is something like 30 feet long, 12 feet high, with 4 foot wide aisles. Each aisle has a dedicated air conditioning system that could otherwise handle probably 7 or 8 middle-class homes. The flow of air in the computer room feels like a raging, freezing river. We have enough aisles to expand out to several thousand computers before having to build a second computer facility in the empty lot next door. As for the power bill, suffice it to say that I am probably one of the TVA's best customers.

Sorry about me being stupid… but a year ago I found ResPower and since then, I've got this question, for $20/Month we may render whatever we want ? $20 bucks, thats it ?! Example, I've got this 600 frames animation, each frame takes 5 minutes to render

I guess i'm not the only one with doubts, ResPower seems really cool thought :)

My two biggest pieces of advice: get disciplined, and get a copy of:

The DVD has a coupon for $10.00 off at my favorite render farm :-)

I'll maybe use it. The only problem is that the production of FantaCratia will probable still take five years, because I'm on my own and undisciplined. I hate that. I don't know what to do. If you have some tips, please PM me on BlenderArtists.

Respower saved me money and time. Great value for an incredibly low price.

Actually, YAFRAY + Blender 2.43 isn't supported just yet. It'll probably be sometime next week.

$4k?! I'm not charging enough!! Actually, I need to move the part in the cost guestimator that says "Subscribers pay : $0.00" right above that and make it a bigger font. A lot of people go through the guestimator, see the huge price, and then don't bother to look one line down and see that it's nearly free by comparison.

If it doesn't turn into a link automagically, I'm sure you're all smart enough to copy and paste the URL's into your browser ;-) The thumb is 320×480, the biggie is 683×1024
