We are a small team of technology and 3d enthusiasts who one day after years of painful and dreadful experience with render farms decided to start our own farm – right in our garage.
When we started back in 2010, we were a team of two, Tomek and Minhee. At the moment (as of 2020), we are a team of 45.
We strongly believe that CG artists should be focusing entirely on creating art and shouldn’t worry about render times and waiting for the rendering to finish.
We’ve built our own cloud render farm and we make sure your rendering needs are met.
Stuff we do well:
- We make our customers happy
- We are there for them 24/7
- We give great technical support
- We support all major 3D apps in the market
- We are responsive to our customers’ needs
- We are affordable, in majority of cases we will be cheaper than AWS/Google and having your rendering farm locally
- We put technology to work and we like to take great care of it
- We provide a healthy balance of automated workflows combined with human support
- We always strive for better
Most of all, we care.
We are 3D artists ourselves and we had been through the rendering process countless number of times and, believe us, it was never pleasant! None of the farms available out there at the time were up to the task on multiple fronts.
Therefore, we created our own render farm service that not only works great for all the artists out there but also is appropriately priced.
Tomek The Eagle Eye. He tries to make sure that everything is working correctly from a bird’s eye view, making sure that the team never loses the big picture. Like an owl, he likes to spend whole nights up reading books about all sorts of exciting stuff and even the occasional novel.
Minhee entered the 3D industry in 2010 as a 3D character animator, but she started working for GarageFarm with Tomek in the same year. Currently, she lives in Australia and works mainly in dealing with Korean customers.
