Sheep it: a free distributed Blender renderfarm

Posted by ninjamuffin99 - May 2nd, 2018


Yo what's up Newgrounds. I've been getting back into Blender and 3D shenanigans recently, and remembered Sheep It. Sheep It is basically like crowdsourced render farms. The way it works is that users upload a .blend file to the site, then other users render a frame or two using a special client. The more frames you render yourself, the higher priority your projects will be on the site, thus reducing the wait period before you get people on your project. As far as I know, you don't even need to have Blender installed, just the single .exe from Sheep It. 

On the site there are also achievements/awards that reward points. For example, one award is have a total of 10 hours of total render time, which awards 5,000 points. There's even an award for making a tutorial or review on Sheep It, either through an article or on Youtube, which awards a hefty 100,000 points.

Another cool thing is the team system. You can join teams and such, and then set it up so that your own team's projects are higher priority and get rendered first as long as you're a part of it. I went ahead and made a Newgrounds Team so feel free to sign up and join it if you wanna be a part of the cool kids 3D Blender club of Newgrounds.

Finally, it's possible to render under someone else's name if you don't want to sign up or if you want to get someone else some street cred heheheh. So if yall want, just download the client from this page, then input the users name, and a public key that gets generated (hey, mine is ninja_muffin99, and the key is E565mOj9nxNTsbORjQ58oGlSNa9Qu19VbX0VGSxj if you wanna do some rendering on my behalf heheheh)

also it's 100% free. No bullshit. However it would be appreciated if you could drop some money their way.

Well, this is sounds awsome! Good thing to become 3-d.

I cant sign in but this is a really cool idea, Cam!!!!!

oh dang RIP well it's definitely worth checking out if you ever end up doing animations in Blender! You should try to get it going so you can build up your creds for when that time comes heheh
