Can anyone recommend a rendering farm company? I have a rush animation job 1 1/2 weeks start to finish. I will need a farm to get it done. I think I saw a link on CGA a while back but don't recall where it is. If some one has use a outside company for rendering was it a positive experience(where there a lot of snags)? I’m using max 5 radiosity.

EFX One is who I use. That is probably the link you saw here.

I used EFXone a few months ago for a looming deadline, and they were a big help. They were very hands on and always available, although I got the feeling they weren't that familiar with Cinema 4D, my platform. I would definitely recommend them for their attentiveness, and the fact that they made sure the job was done on time. Ask for Gus; he's the one that oversaw my job.

Whichever render farm you use though, make sure you're either reimbursed directly for the cost, or get an estimate and build it in to your fee. A service like EFXone can get very expensive very fast.

If you were using Cinema or Maya, I'd strongly recommend Renderking. Dan offers an incredible deal and is a pleasure to work with.
