Renderfarms are distributed computing networks designed to accelerate the process of rendering computer-generated imagery. This process, known as rendering, is computationally intensive, requiring significant processing power to transform 3D models and scenes into final 2D images or animations. Renderfarms alleviate this burden by distributing the rendering task across numerous computers, often referred to as "render nodes" or "render workers."

The primary benefit of using a renderfarm is the drastic reduction in rendering times. Instead of a single workstation taking days or weeks to complete a complex project, a renderfarm can accomplish the same task in a matter of hours. This speed-up is crucial for artists, animators, and visual effects studios who need to meet tight deadlines. Renderfarms can be privately owned and managed by a studio, or they can be cloud-based services that users rent on demand. Cloud renderfarms offer scalability and cost-effectiveness, allowing users to pay only for the computing resources they consume. The rendering process typically involves submitting the project files and desired output settings to the renderfarm's management system. The system then breaks down the project into smaller chunks, assigns these chunks to available render nodes, and collects the completed frames for assembly.
