3D cloud rendering?

[Jae Tee]

Is there a cloud based service where you can upload a 3D model and have them render it for you? Mostly for people on the go, or those that cant afford hardware acceleration. Would something like this even be wanted?

You could rent an AWS server (with GPU, if needed) but that's not going to be cheaper in the long run.

Don't they offer one year free tier for you to play with?

Yes, but not all machines are free tier eligible and there were some other limitations. Should be enough to test it.

I've got a few Xeon machines I was thinking of using for this very purpose. Not exactly the fastest available but a damn sight quicker than a laptop or lower end desktop machine.
