Rate and Review RebusFarm 2025 – Radarrender

RebusFarm is a German-based company that is part of the growing commercial rendering service for studios around the world. They offer a cloud rendering service that can handle major 3D software out there. It is based on the model of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). You will submit your job directly from a plugin inside the 3D software. With the experience of more than 19 years in the field of 3D rendering, Rebus has been improving a lot to be one of the most trusted render cloud services.

The first thing want to review RebusFarm is its friendly UI/UX (User Interface & User Experience). As a SaaS-based render farm, what you need to do first is prepare your project on your local computer, then uploading or downloading files is managed by a RebusFarm software element called “Rebusdrop”. You can monitor your cloud rendering jobs and can start, pause, and cancel all jobs at any time using this tool. Especially, your job will be rendered frame by frame, so it will automatically be downloaded to a folder chosen by you in advance. 

Transferring files to a render farm in terms of speed and data size can be considered as a crucial factor. Uploading and Downloading files via RebusFarm software is relatively fast when your files are under 5GB of data. However, the speed decreases sharply if your files contain 10GB of data or higher. In addition, Rebus does not support uploading any project size which is too big and complicated. For instance, you will find it hard to upload and submit a project with over 100 GB of data to Rebus Farm. Or if your pipeline needs rendering with more than two software and applications, RebusFarn should not be optimal when you need to work with each software sequentially to get the final result. Therefore, RebusFarm works effectively if your pipeline is straightforward.

When evaluating an excellent render farm, the first criterion we rely on is the types of software they are supporting. Generally speaking, RebusFarm does a great job at supporting a wide range of software and renderers. Regarding software, RebusFarm meets the high standard when offering 3Ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D, Blender. Apart from the aforementioned major software, they also support Modo, Lightwave 3D, Sketchup, Rhino 3D, Autodesk Softimage. In terms of renderers, common names such as Vray, Corona, Mental Ray, Maxwell for CPU-based rendering, or Vray, Octane, Redshift for GPU-based rendering are supported by RebusFarm. However, Arnold, a well-known render engine and widely used by 3D artists, is not shown in the supported software list of RebusFarm. 

The next criterion to consider is the hardware used in RebusFarm’s system. According to their latest information, RebusFarm now uses AMD’s Threadripper 3970X for CPU rendering and NVIDIA RTX 4080 series GPUs for GPU rendering – a notable step up from their previous Quadro RTX 6000 setup. However, since RebusFarm operates under a SaaS model, users don’t have direct access to the physical machines, so the exact hardware configuration isn’t fully transparent. Based on the specifications provided, the hardware performance can be considered mid to high-range, suitable for most rendering tasks but not necessarily cutting-edge compared to farms that offer direct access to high-end GPUs or customizable server setups. Looking on the bright side, users mainly leverage the number of render nodes on Rebus render farm to complete their job, instead of the robust performance of the computer.

Another factor that has a substantial impact on our evaluation process is Services and Support.

First, we would like to talk about Rebus Farm pricing. The CPU costs 1.39 cents/GHzh while the GPU costs 0.52 cents/OBh. It is considered as “pricey” when compared with other render farms. Besides the standard pay-as-you-go system, where you’re billed based on actual render time with no additional costs for uploads, downloads, or data storage, RebusFarm also offers two types of unlimited rental packages for CPU rendering. These packages use AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X (32 cores, 3.7 GHz, 128 GB RAM) servers and allow users to rent 5 to 100 nodes for either 7 days or 28 days. Prices range from around $3,798 for 5 nodes (7 days) to over $150,000 for 100 nodes (28 days). While these options can be useful for studios with large-scale CPU projects, the package selection is still quite limited compared to render farms that provide more flexibility. However, they give customers volume discounts ranging from 5% when recharging $500 to 60% when recharging $50,000. 

Another useful feature from RebusFarm is their Cost Calculator. It helps you estimate the total render cost before uploading your project by entering details like frame count, render time per frame, and preferred software. It’s quite handy for planning budgets and avoiding unexpected costs.

Secondly, when it comes to support, RebusFarm supports customers via live chat and email. RebusFarm says “Our experienced service team supports you and your render job 24/7”, but we do not receive their answer for a while after asking a question. As a result, we gave RebusFarm a minus point in terms of supporting criterion.
