Linux

We're super excited to announce that we've finished work on the new version of the Renderfarm.fi uploader script. This means we can now provide you guys with new builds of Blender 2.5 with the new improved script in them. The new version also fixes a nasty bug that has caused some of the recent renders fail (as witnessed by many black preview boxes in the gallery). New features include:

• Settings verification: the uploader will now help you in preparing your .blend file for a successful render on Renderfarm.fi
• Session management: you will now be able to list your own sessions, see their progress and even cancel sessions that haven't been accepted yet
• More intuitive use: You are no longer required to remember your user id, just your e-mail and password on Renderfarm.fi will suffice
• Version updates: You can easily check for new builds from within Blender 

Remember to give feedback. Now go download:

Cool news as we've managed to get the Blender 2.5 builds for both 32bit and 64bit Windows/Linux operating systems running. We're currently testing their functionality by running some sessions. If all goes well, we can start accepting work as before and move on to officially supporting Blender 2.5. Meanwhile, the Mac  OSX clients are being worked at and will hopefully be available during the next couple of weeks.

Blender 2.5 Renderfarm.fi Distribution

In the coming weeks we'll also be providing you guys with a new build of the Renderfarm.fi distribution of Blender 2.5, with an improved version of the uploader. Until that time, however, please use the previous version to upload stuff. The webform seems to be disfunctional at the time being and we've been having trouble pinpointing the problem (we're working on getting it fixed).
