Hi all.

I am working on a new version of my FFFarm, and this one I want to make it public (before I couldn't as it was developed for a company I worked for in the past).

FFFarm will allow you filter sequences, select filters and presets, choose formats, etc. Great to create your own filtered videos (like using Photoshop's batch process but way cooler).

But there is still one extra thing I would like to get, and this is the ability to run multiple instances of the command line FF (something similar to what After Effects does when rendering)

The main reason is the full processing power of our machines is never used when rendering a filter, so why not running 2, 4, 8 instances of FF to get all done much faster? I can even check the ram and CPU load and run more or less instances to use the resources smartly.

Is this something we could get? Maybe in the final version of FF 6...? Please...? smile:D smile:D smile:D

Thanks!!!

Did you ever get to finish that FFFarm new version and post it anywhere?

Also, +1 for multiple running instances.

It sounds like this "FFFarm" idea never came into being. Are there any real-life options that exist currently for outsourcing our FF video renders?

I've been limited to rendering at 1024x768 resolution (the source material for a huge audio-visual project I'm working on). Certain animations are out of the question altogether , even at that resolution.

Substance Designer is fast, but it's not very intuitive from an artistic standpoint, and the documentation is beyond worthless (still no idea how to get it to animate anything.) Most of the other source material I am composing in Blender (which has render farm support). It's great but I have a lot of sequences in FF that Blender can't replicate.

The FF renders look beautiful even at 1024x768 but enlarging them to full-screen is not pretty. 1920x1080 would be ideal, but my computer would be occupied for the next year or so, meanwhile I cannot work. Regular search engines have not yielded anything promising... So this seems like the only place to ask... Filter Forge veterans and experts... is there some super secret Filter Forge-friendly render farm that wants a bunch of my business??

I just re-read the original post and I think I might have misunderstood; this wasn't referring to an 'actual' render farm but some kind of add-on which is no longer relevant. Nevertheless, I'm still wondering if there are any render farms out there who would be able to help with a bunch of FF animations.
