First of all, Don't Panic. Let me assure you, your time and input is most valued.

Ok. Seriously speaking, Renderfarm.fi is a publicly distributed rendering service that offers anybody the chance to either render or participate in the rendering of resource intensive 3D graphics. You do not have to be an expert to be of value to the community - quite the contrary actually. In fact, in order to become an important member of our community, you need to only follow these three simple steps:

1. Create your account on Renderfarm.fi
2. Download and install BOINC
3. Attach your BOINC client to http://www.renderfarm.fi

Welcome! If you don't want or can't join your computer currently, you are more than welcome contribute through other means, for example by reviewing and commenting the videos in The Gallery. We're more than glad to have you aboard.

Remember when we projected a story to your head that Renderfarm.fi enables anybody to create high quality renders? You might wonder where are those high quality images, all I see is a bunch of streamed video outputs. The answers is that in order to get to the actual high quality images, you will need to download CATS. CATS is a utility that lets you download the individual frames rendered by the service. You can use the utility to download frames from any rendered project - even ones that have not finished rendering.

Perhaps most interestingly you can use Renderfarm.fi and all the attached clients in order to give your Blender animations and stills an edge of image quality over those rendered on other rendering engines on home machines. Renderfarm.fi is made immensily powerful by people like yourself who have attached their computers to the project. With the rendering power behind it, Renderfarm.fi lets you yank the resolution up and image quality up to a par that you might have thought only commercial renderfarms could do.
