ArchiCAD 18 CineRender - Export (farm) render scene?

Pato99 · ‎2014-06-18

I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find much about render farm support for ArchiCAD animated cameras.

Our office is currently on ArchiCAD v13 looking at the v18 upgrade. The CineRender engine will allow us to drop three of our other presentation programs which is a big money saver.

The problem I am trying to solve as a residential builder, is if we create a 15 second fly-around @ (1m10s x 24fps x 15sec) its not looking very viable.

I already have a small render farm set up for Maya animation and I want to know if I can farm out the scene so we can use our computers unrestricted.

This was just asked a couple of days ago...but it was buried in a generic thread...

No, there is no render farm capability within ArchiCAD. If you want to offload the rendering, you can buy Cinema 4D. All of the shaders/settings from CineRender should transfer.

Ahh bummer! That's a real shame, we were almost free from 3rd party programs.

Thanks for the information.

@Pat: you can outsource the work to an external render farm that supports C4D. That is what I am currently trying to get to work.
