- Any 3D artist who is limited in resources and wants to meet his projects’ deadlines.
- Anyone who wants to become more productive and work on multiple projects at the same time.

hide

- Through our website we support only Blender for now.
- We can do it manually for the other applications that are not fully automated yet, like 3DMax, Cinema 4D, Rhino 3D, Maya, XSI, Lightwave 3D and Modo.

hide

- No, All it requires is a web browser like Chrome, Firefox or Safari. You do not need any plugins nor clients to use Exa. In case you are using Cycles or LuxRender, you’ll need to configure that.

hide

- After you upload your project, you can set render parameters, number of processor cores you need, priority of your render, in addition to other settings, and then you can submit your project for rendering.

hide

- Yes; and it’s available in the advanced parameters page prior to submitting the render job.
- Video’s are encoded as lossless H.264 .mp4, with maximum compression

hide

- The system will display the output as soon as it is rendered.

hide

- Exa Supports Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 8+.

hide

- We specialize in rendering; however feel free to contact us in this regards.

hide

- No, why would you need the hardware anyways? We will save you the cost of buying it, running it and maintaining it whilst providing you all the performance you want at the fraction of the cost.

hide

- Yes; feel free to contact us.

hide

- You can use the contact details and/or the contact form in the bottom of each page.

hide

- Yes you can.

hide

- Because Apple’s iOS does not support that. (IOS does not expose the file system).

The question is, how big is your project?
- Our supercomputer is built upon an elastic cloud (read:unlimited machines), accelerated by Graphics Processing Units (GPU).

- We only use the fastest machines:
Dual Intel Xeon E5 CPU’s, 60+ GB’s of Ram, Two nVidia Tesla M2050 GPU’s per supercomputing machine, high speed 10-Gbit networks flowing your frames between the machines, next generation high speed parallel file systems...etc. At Exa, we never compromise performance

hide

- Graphics Processing Unit, or simply the “video card” is a specialized component of a computer that works as a co-processor aiding the CPU for Heavy Visual tasks (like rendering).

hide

- GPU’s are fast, very fast. In our internal benchmarks, GPU’s accelerated rendering performance at an average of ~112.7x faster than a typical CPU workstation, making it faster than ANY renderfarm on the planet.
- Our belief is that maximum performance, results in minimum time, hence least cost.

hide

- Absolutely not! Exa revolutionized the way render farms allocates its resources to our customers with our proprietary Arbitray-Scaling Technology, Exa allows you to fire up 4,8,32,1024,65536 or more (with or without GPU Acceleration).... its your call.

hide

- Yes, you can stop a running project anytime from the project’s page.

hide

- It depends on the complexity of your scene as well as the parameters set on Exa such as the type of renderer (GPU accelerated or not) the number of cores and priority.

To minimize rendering time We recommend you do the following:
- Opt for a GPU accelerated renderer; massive acceleration is enabled by GPU’s.
- Hire more cores; simply 16 cores will do in 1 hour what 4 core will do in 4 hours. and it will cost the same.
- Select the highest priority.

hide

- You will get a receipt immediately after you complete your payment. Your receipt would be in text form for fast open and read especially when on mobile.

hide

- A misleading cost system used by many render farms online. A Ghz is not a metric of performance. Technical details (architectural differences) have more impact on the rendering performance than just the frequency of a processor (a 3Ghz Intel Pentium III and a 3Ghz Intel Core i7 do not provide the same performance!)
- We at Exa believe that GFLOPS (Giga-billion floating point Operations Per Second) is the real metric for performance.

hide

- Exa will charge you at the scale of Milliseconds (a thousand of a second).
- We want to deliver high quality at a reasonable price; we believe there is no reason for our customers to pay for minutes they do not use; for that we do not charge per hour.

hide

- We will provide you with a best guess; since 3D scenes vary in complexity we can only provide a rough estimation using our calculator.

hide

- Yes, you can use the flexible pack.

hide

- Your job will be stopped at the current frame being rendered. However, you will be able to download the completed frames.

hide

- The service is equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and military grade data encryption (AES).

hide

- Absolutely, your content is your own. Exa does not share clients' projects with any third party. Exa also does not publish clients rendered projected in the website or anywhere unless requested by the client.
