Render Farm Done!!! send in your after effects files

[FaZeFuhrer]

My new render farm is done and fully functional. I have been having great success with adobe after effects cs6. it is about 15 times faster than my custom built pc with a quad core xeon, 970, and 16gb of ram. each of the nodes has an i7 3770 and 16gb kingston ram. I would love it if someone would send me test files to see how well it renders. 

Also i was thinking of offering it up for a service, and i was wondering how much i should charge. it uses about 800 watts full load so obviously power plus a bit more.

any ideas will help a lot.

 

feel free to upload after effects files to render and ill upload the final result.

go in illustrator and tell me how long it takes it to vectorise this image : (highest res for vectorisation)

what are the specs of it ?

 

Try cinebench if that works ( no idea if it will work on a render farm )

I didnt install illistrator yet but if you think it would be a good idea i am open to it. how do you vectorise it?

I have ran cinnebench on each of the nodes they each get about 666 on the cinnebench r15 so that would be about 6,660 across all nodes.....not bad

each is a sff desktop with an i7 3770 16gb of kingston ecc ram 500gb wd blue and an 80plus power supply

Once in college we did a project setting up a cloud after effects rendering service on AWS - fun project. There was a few "benchmark" projects that I had found online to test it with. I think all I did was google "after effects benchmark project" and found a few.

there is a big vectorise button in the top menu. if you click on the arrow to its right, you see the drop down menu. click on the highest setting. I forgot the exact name

this really wouldn't help benchmarking a render farm,, it would only benchmark a single computer (the one doing the vectorize)

still. that picture takes like 2 minutes for illustrator to render on my pc. I want to know if his is better at it

I have run a benchmark for after effects that i found on google. my xeon e3 pc at 3.7ghz was 11 minutes to render it and my farm was one minute 30 seconds
