Hi folks,

Time arrived and my 2x titans are not enough, i got to find some render-farm service that works good with Octane plugin for c4d.
Before i'll follow Google i'll be happy to follow some of your recommendations.
So anyone use a good cloud services occasionally with Octane plugin for c4d?

Sorry if it has discussed before and thanks in advanced.

Yambo, this is funny,

just yesterday i was reading your post about your new PC-Worklstation with the 2x Titan X.

Since i am not very familiar with watercooling I was happy to find your Internetpage...;)
This is also my new Setup, I was thinking this night and i was configuring it in my dreams..;)

And right now, entering the C4D Section of this Forum I see that your 2 TX 12 GB aren`t even enough...;(
What is the Problem?

So as you bought your PC-Case well thought, you are switching to watercooling now?

Do you have any other hints / tipps for me, for which cards i shoud go?
I have one GTX Titan installed in my Mac Pro 5.1 (2010)

wanted to build a new system now. Use that old one with another GTX 980ti in that system or,
like you- buy 2 new titan x for that PC System and leave the Titan in my Mac Pro.

So my Question to you is:

What can I do better, not to have the same "Problem" like you run into right now?!

Have a nice Day and thank you in advance

To put it simply. They do not exist at a scale that is reliable. There are services like uber render and garage farm that allow you to rent a machine and render using your own personal license of all software. There are other ways to render via GPUs on Amazon but they are not supported by Otoy and they break your EULA if you even do figure it out.
