Dear 3D Artists Around The World!

WHY DO WE DO THIS?

We are Hayley, Martin, and Ollie – Co-Founders of Radarrender. We currently work as graphics software artists and 3D forum administrators (I will not mention its name here because it sounds like an advertisement). Every day, 3D artists in our forum search for a good rendering service. However, we’ve seen many complaints and questions that we couldn’t always answer clearly. To help our members make good choices, we realized the only way was to work directly with rendering service providers to find the answers, and that’s why we’re here today. Whenever you search for a render farm service, all providers claim the same things: “We are the best, we are the cheapest, we are the most efficient, etc.” Of course, they can tell the truth (in a positive way), but that is not enough. “Half a loaf is still bread, but half the truth is…” Well, we all know the rest.

For Instance:

1. The best render farm for 3D Max does not mean it will be the best for Blender.
2. The best render farm for big studios doesn’t mean the best for individual artists, freelancers, or small studios.
3. The best render farm supporting CPU does not mean it is the best with GPUs.
4. The lowest price listed on a website does not always mean the total actual cost you pay will be the cheapest.
5. The best render farm today may not still be the best in the next 3 or 6 months.
6. …

There are tons of questions like these, and they are not easy to answer satisfactorily at all. On that journey, I found a few platforms that provided lists of render farm services, but they only listed the service providers without offering real evaluations. Even worse, some platforms seemed incomplete or biased in their assessments. To truly solve this problem, our team (me and five friends) is fully committed to this project with the following criteria:

1. To be ranked #1 on our list, a render farm must genuinely earn the top spot.
2. All render farms on our ranking list will be directly used and evaluated by us, based on 16 clear & specific criteria applied to our real projects. Each verified render farm will receive a certified stamp and real-time verification.
3. The ranking is updated monthly or every 3 months to ensure our list maintains quality over the long term.
4. We will publish at least one in-depth review per week, following our 16-criteria and verification process, to provide open and unbiased insights.
5. We divide the render farm list into two groups: A verified and ranked list and A general list for your reference to prevent confusion or misleading advertisements.
6. We will maintain a good team with less than 10 people, so the cost will never be a pressure on us, thus we can ensure about the authenticity and objectivity of the website.
7. If you find any discrepancies in our data, you can leave a comment, and we will immediately re-verify the information.
8. Unlike other sites, we use a new filtering approach. When a new render farm appears, it must first submit its information. Then, it must pass our evaluation before being listed on our website.

With more than 15 years of experience in 3D design, I have realized that there is no single “best” rendering service for everyone. Instead, different services excel in different scenarios. That’s why we are here—to help you find the right render farm for your needs. We hope to receive your comments. Sincerely, thank you!

RADARRENDER, WE SAY WHAT A RENDER FARM NEVER SHOWS YOU

CERTIFICATE DEFINITION
_

We Build TRUST by Trusting Others

Good/Excellent

The render farms must satisfy more than 8 points in each criterion in order to become a member of the list. The services display their ratings from very good to excellent. We will show a detailed score of the render farm for each review engagement.

Average/Good

The render farms in this group satisfy from 5 to 7 points in each criterion. Their service quality is understood to be good and reliable. We will show a detailed score of the render farm for each review engagement.

Poor/ Average

The render farms in this group are under 5 points in each criterion. Their service quality is understood to be poor and untrustworthy. We will show a detailed score of the render farm for each review engagement.
