Does this "farm" still work ?

[Demoniq]

Hello

I found this site by coincidence, but I must admit that I really like the idea
I wanted to join and share my computing resources but found out that there is hardly any users... both on forum or chatroom... does this project died natural death when William went "comercial" at corefarm.com ?
It is quite hard to believe that people didn't like this idea. Especially in blender community.

Anyways...

Regards

Hi Demoniq,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the farm is still alive, jobs keep being processed correctly even if I admit that I don't have so much time to work on it now.

Actually, I tried to set up a community around corefarm.org ( a community that could get resources thanks to the commercial service, corefarm.com). With wawanbreton we came up with a new client for the grid, written in Qt, hosted in the qtgui branch of code.google.com/p/naclys . Unfortunately nobody took the time to build the installers and write documentation about this new client.

There is also a call for adding luxrender support.

So, yes, corefarm.org is still alive, but it is seeking for new contributors to expand. Do you want to join ?

All the best,

William
