Services We offer rendering of 3D animations using massively parallel data processing on High Performance Computing cluster located at the National Center for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).

Rendering of the 3D animation using 3ds Max and V-Ray in our render farm is extremely simple:

1. Prepare the scene without using unnecessary plug-ins;
2. Login to our automatic service site;
3. Upload your input data (assets) to our servers using a simple-to-use manager. The assets can be used to render multiple scenes while our manager allows you to organize them in virtual catalogues;
4. Define a new job, uploading your scene data and setting its parameters;
5. In the course of the calculations you can check the results quality by previewing the completed frames;
6. Download results from the HPC Cluster.

For a new scene you should select the “sanity-check” option which will allow the system to check if the scene does not contain any problematic settings for automatic rendering.

When using 3ds max version 2015 or later, the whole procedure can be carried out without leaving 3ds max on your computer thanks to our plugin. In this case, the validation (sanity-check) stage will be performed locally before the plugin will send any data to the Renderownia Swierk.

Remember: when placing a rendering order, you can specify the priority of the task. Those interested in shorter waiting time for the results of the calculations we suggest to choose priorities "Business" or "Premium".To start a new job it is necessary to have at least one Renderbon (RB). You may use a free-of-charge pool or a purchased one.

Note: Windows workstation with 3ds Max software and one of these browsers: Chrome (16+), Firefox (10+), Safari (7+) Internet Explorer (10+) or Opera (12.1) are necessary to use the automatic service of the Renderownia Świerk.

• Rendering service is available to logged-in Users only. Registration of a new Customer (company) takes about three minutes.
• Service works in a pre-paid formula. Payments are made when purchasing new Renderbons. To submit a rendering job it is necessary to have at least one Renderbon (RB).
• Each new Customer (the first User of a given company) shall get access to a free-of-charge pool of Renderbons.
• You can submit your rendering jobs in the “Render Farm” subpage of the Renderownia Świerk or directly from your local 3ds max installation using the dedicated plugin.
• Information about the status of the calculation (progress of work) and a preview of the rendered frames are available in the "Render Farm" subpage.
• The actual cost of a rendering task is allowed to exceed the value of Renderbons owned by a value equal to 10% of Renderbons owned at the time the last Renderbons purchase was processed.

Note: Downloading results (rendered frames) is possible only if full calculation cost was covered by Renderbons. You may need to purchase (and pay for) the missing number of RBs first.

• You may purchase additional Renderbons by clicking on the displayed number of available RBs in the "Render Farm" subpage. Please note that depending on the number of purchased RBs you can gain a discount of up to 60% of the retail price.
• To submit all kinds of questions, complaints and suggestions please use the contact form.

• Each Customer of the Renderownia Świerk (company) can be represented by many Users (physical persons).
• Each User (person) can be assigned to one Customer only.
• The first User of a given Customer receives privileges of the so-called Master User.
• Users assigned to a given Customer are grouped into teams and share access to Renderbon pools.
• Each User can be a member of several teams and use several Renderbon pools at the same time.
• The Customer is free to use the teams/pools features to manage costs of its organisational or project structure.
• For the purpose of the NCBJ Sponsorship Program, the beneficiary Customer will use a dedicated Renderbon pool and User team created by the Renderownia Świerk.
• Master User privileges are as follows:
  • introduce new Users (persons) of a given Customer (company),
  • create teams and assign a User to a team (pool of Renderbons)
  • remove unnecessary User Accounts of the Customer
  • pass the Master User status to another User of a given Customer

The Renderownia Świerk operates in a restricted and guarded area of the nuclear centre near Otwock. This ensures that our infrastructure fulfills the highest safety standards for facilities physical protection.

We also have a reliable and stable electricity supply (the main server building is powered by two separate supply lines from two different sources). Moreover - in the event of an emergency - the Renderownia Świerk has its own power generator and efficient UPS station.High reliability of the computing infrastructure cooling system is ensured by two independent chilling circuits.

The high security level of data processing is ensured by modern IT solutions. E.g. our own job managing system used for optimising resource utilisation and time required to obtain rendering results.
