If you're considering annual render-only licensing options for Red Giant and Cinema 4D, here are the available choices:
-
Subscription Add-On:
- This option requires an existing license of Cinema 4D or Red Giant Teams (specifically, RG Teams, RG Teams Floating, RG Teams RLM).
- Users can subscribe to render-only licenses as an add-on to their current licenses of Cinema 4D or Red Giant Teams.
-
Team Render:
- Team Render is the network rendering system of Cinema 4D, employing peer-to-peer communication for distributing render tasks.
- By avoiding a central server bottleneck, assets necessary for rendering reach each client faster, significantly enhancing the speed of network rendering for both animations and still frames.
- For larger studios, Team Render Server combines features of traditional client-server architecture with Team Render's decentralized data exchange.
- Team Render Server enables users to manage all render jobs via a web interface, upload, monitor, and control network rendering jobs, and check log status messages from both the server and all clients.
-
Command Line Render Client:
- Maxon offers the Cinema 4D Command Line Render Client for users with render jobs exceeding the capacity of individual workstations or Team Render.
- This client is used to create dedicated render farms and utilizes Cinema 4D render functions.
- Managed by render farm admin tools provided by third-party sources, the Command Line Render Client is ideal for handling large-scale rendering tasks.
These options provide flexibility and scalability for studios and users requiring render-only capabilities within their workflows.
