Renderfarm.fi goes Blender 2.53 Beta

Hey all - really cool news. I just received word from our resident build guru Gekko that we've succesfully rolled out the new Blender 2.53 Beta clients for BOINC for all platforms (32bit and 64bit Mac OSX, Linux and Windows).

The new builds have some bug fixes and naturally feature the latest version of the Blender render engine with all it's tweaks.
 

Renderfarm.fi uploader now GPL licensed: in Blender 2.53 Beta!

I also decided to take this opportunity to point out to anybody who's missed this so far: you are no longer tied to our own distribution of Blender in order to use Renderfarm.fi. You can now just download your favourite main branch Blender 2.53 Beta build and enable the Renderfarm.fi add-on in order to use the service directly from within your Blender.

Naturally this represents a huge leap for us in terms of availability, hopefully meaning many more Blenderheads can now find their way on to the service. You can read more about the script from the official Blender 2.53 Wiki. Cheers!
