The Ranch Renderfarm Blitz
The Ranch Renderfarm Blitz
The Ranch Renderfarm is running a promotion that gives you 5 minutes for free on their renderfarm. 5 minutes on the Ranch is equivalent to 4 hours on a 12-core/24-thread MacPro or 10 hours on a Core i7 computer.
The Ranch works very well with Indigo, and 5 minutes will likely get you a beautiful clear Indigo render!
The Ranch is running Indigo 2.4 stable and therefore will not yet support 2.6 Beta's glass acceleration. If you have a 2.6.1 exporter be sure to remove this line from any .igs before you send it (Thanks Zom-b).
Visit the Ranch Blitz! for more information.

Artist Feature: Arthur Staschyk
We have a new section of the website bringing some new interviews with some of Indigo's hottest artists.
Arthur Staschyk, known in the forum community as Zom-B, has shown himself to be a power user since the earliest days of Indigo's history. His relentless pushing of Indigo's limits has helped it become the powerful rendering engine it is today, and we are indebted to him for the many bug reports and suggestions he has made over the years.
Artist interviews page - more coming soon!

The Ranch Renderfarm has upgraded!
The Ranch Renderfarm has upgraded!
The new system is 2.5 to 3 times as fast as the 'old' RANCH (which could hardly be considered slow).
- a project which took one hour of render time is now done in around 20-25 minutes.
- we can render super-heavy projects as each RR node has 24 GB RAM.
- the gathering+merging phase is also 2.5 times faster, which means that a full merging from all the RANCH Runner nodes takes 8 minutes with 2 GB IGIs, when it took 20 minutes before.
- the IGI size limit that we can process (2.5 GB) is now increased to 5 GB.
This massive speed increase does not cost more to our customers. In fact on many projects it costs less!
