Render Street – our friendly render farm
Posted by: | Comments
Hi, I’m back to work! It has been a long hot summer on the playground.. but while I was doing Mommy stuff others have been busy.
I’m proudly presenting Render Street, an online farm project I’m part of. The other part is my husband Sorin and his partner Marius.

While I was mumbling annoyed words about uploading being a mess and render times too slow he said “wait, we could easily do something like this that would work!”.

Yesterday I was really caught with having to prepare in a hurry a whole set of drafts and I hoped I will be able to do a batch render of all the 21 files so I started googling the way to do it.
Bump and reflection artifact spotted

However, setting the Best Quality bump mapping for a material that gets reflected results in weird artifacts in the reflected image.
