Description

FurryBall merges the rapid rendering capabilities of GPUs with the high quality and extensive features typically found in CPU rendering systems. This rendering solution is notably swift, leveraging GPU power to achieve remarkable speed unlike traditional CPU-based systems. However, it is important to note that FurryBall was discontinued in 2018, and as such, no support or maintenance is available for users. The software offers standalone versions and plugins compatible with Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max, and Cinema 4D. Additionally, FurryBall employs UNBIASED Monte Carlo raytracing (a path tracing method akin to the CPU-based Arnold renderer) while providing real-time progressive previews directly in the viewport. The system supports final frame rendering in various file formats, along with the ability to handle layers and passes efficiently. Originally designed for CGI animated films, visual effects, and feature movie production, FurryBall RT is particularly user-friendly, allowing artists to adjust the overall image quality with just a single parameter if desired. This combination of features made FurryBall a unique tool in the rendering landscape before its discontinuation.

Description

When a project owner submits their work to the queue, the service divides the animation into individual frames for rendering, dispatching each frame to a connected machine while optimizing its selection based on the available memory and CPU/GPU capabilities. Users can submit an unlimited number of projects, but only two renderings can occur simultaneously to prevent any one individual from overwhelming the render farm with excessive submissions. In instances where the render farm experiences congestion, this limit may be reduced to just one active rendering, a situation that occurs infrequently, typically just a few times each year. This careful management ensures efficient use of resources while maintaining fair access for all users.
