• "I LOVE Royal Render 6.  Really really nice and runs fantastic.  It just "works" which I love.  I've tried everything else out there and this still blows them away in every way.  Really great features like caching everything locally really makes a difference I think on my small network.

    Feel free to post that on your site if you want.  Really would love to see you get some marketing going on this thing at Sigg. or something like the Qxxx guys....that thing sucks big time.  A friend of mine at a major studio said they spent days with it and couldn't get it to render one frame.  They put RR6 on and it was up and running instantly.  Congrats, keep up the great work."

  • "The ability to flipbook renders directly inside of RR, and flag potential bad frames is a timesaver beyond belief. In general switching to RR has sped up my production by many folds, by taking the problems with getting renders out the door, out of the equation. Not worrying if frames are rendered. It allows me to concentrate on working instead of wrangling."

  • "We use royal render now. It is absolutely worth every cent. Everything gets rendered. You select passes in xsi and hit render. No worry about machines crashing, etc. RR in 99% finds the black sheeps and rerenders somewhere else."

    "We reached a big milestone towards the end of May, having fully rendered outFinal Picture for the first 3 scenes of the film. Our render farm has worked non stop over the last 3 months. All  30 machines have been pushed to their limit, and have been rendering 24/7. Our render submitter, , is a fantastic program whereby anyone at anytime can see exactly what is rendering, and on which machine. With this program you can see exactly how long a render will take to complete. It also alerts you when something is wrong, or if a file has corrupted, in which case it re-submits it for you. Very clever! We hope to grow our render farm in the near future."

  • "It works like a dream. I have used it in many different places, and it always worked exactly like I wanted it to. It saved me many times, too, by showing me the rendered frames and the alpha channel. Wonderful product."

  • "Quite a few studios in NYC use Royal Render - Superfad, UVPhactory, Spontaneous Combustion, Pure, probably one or two others I am missing...  As far as I am concerned, it wins hands down out of the box. I have yet to use a render management package that is easier to use, offers plenty of feedback and makes as much sense as RR.

    I know that when it comes down to a deadline, if there are changes are being thrown at me, or there's issues with a render, RR saved me loads of time and stress.

    If you're managing a job with lots of passes, RR is a dream come true.  I can think of a bunch of jobs that I spent a lot of time checking frames by opening them up in flipbooks and writing down bad frames, resubmitting them.  It sucks.  RR is the first thing that handles that mess intelligently.  Delete the frame from the image gallery, then just tell RR to look for missing frames, and it's done - go get coffee...

    The others just seem like they were written by programmers who have no idea who the end users are. Holger (the author) knows production and it shows in RR."

  • "I fully support Royal Render and highly recommend it. It's been great with every app I've tossed at it.

    Honestly, I'm completely spoiled on it now and it's rough working at places that don't use it imo. About the other managers: Here at CafeFX we use Dxxxxxxx somewhat successfully, but it's definitely not my fav. WB used xxxx and I honestly think it's the worst software I've ever used. Period."

    Why I Love It: You never know how much you need something until you don’t have it anymore. Well, we were not about to let Royal Render go. Our studio has […]

    We decided to dive in and buy the other modules that lets us control unlimited machines and packages. It’s helped our production process flow much quicker and has taken many of the repetitive human tasks away from the artists. We now have more time to animate and rent the farm out with little effort."
