Pterobyt Renderings & Animations, founded by Jacob Kablak, is a boutique studio specializing in 3D animation, 3D renderings, online configurators, and graphic design tailored to commercial and industrial clients. The creative duo behind the company, Jacob and his wife Madylen Kablak, blend a deep understanding of marketing, industrial design, and creative arts to deliver compelling visuals that resonate with audiences. By focusing on custom-made, unique designs that steer clear of templates, Pterobyt’s work stands out for its heart and creativity. This case study explores how Pterobyt collaborates with GarageFarm.NET to streamline their production pipeline, boost efficiency, and consistently deliver top-notch animations and renderings under tight deadlines.

Pterobyt’s portfolio spans across various industries, from manufacturing to marketing, with a heavy focus on product animations and industrial visualizations. The studio’s strength lies in creating 3D animations that captivate audiences, whether for websites, social media, or large-scale displays at trade shows. However, producing these high-quality renders and animations presents several challenges, including time-intensive renders, tight deadlines, and the need to manage a big workload with a small team.
High-resolution product animations require significant computational power, particularly when working with detailed models, complex lighting setups, and intricate materials. Pterobyt often faces tight deadlines, especially when working with clients who need rapid turnaround times for marketing campaigns or events like trade shows. As a small studio, they also need to maintain efficiency throughout the production process to keep up with demand. One of the biggest challenges arose when Pterobyt was tasked with designing massive tradeshow entrance displays, each measuring 94” x 300” at 100 dpi. The sheer size of these renders meant that even high-end equipment would take considerable time to process, making it difficult to balance such a project with other ongoing work.
To address these challenges, Pterobyt turned to GarageFarm.NET, a cloud-based render farm service that provided them with the computational power they needed to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality. With GarageFarm.NET, Pterobyt was able to offload the heavy rendering tasks to powerful remote servers, allowing the team to focus on the creative aspects of their work while ensuring timely delivery of high-quality animations.

GarageFarm.NET significantly increased Pterobyt’s efficiency. What would have taken over 20 hours to render on a single workstation could now be completed in just 30 minutes, thanks to GarageFarm's distributed computing power. This dramatic reduction in render times meant that Pterobyt could meet deadlines more easily and take on additional projects throughout the year. Moreover, by using GarageFarm.NET’s scalable infrastructure, Pterobyt could handle both small and large-scale projects without the need for costly investments in additional hardware. This flexibility allowed them to efficiently allocate resources based on the project’s requirements, ensuring that even the most complex renderings, such as ultra-high-resolution animations, were completed seamlessly.
GarageFarm.NET also provided Pterobyt with access to the latest technology, ensuring that their renders were produced using cutting-edge hardware and software. This was particularly beneficial for Pterobyt, as keeping up with technological advancements can be both time-consuming and expensive for a small studio. By outsourcing the rendering process to GarageFarm.NET, Pterobyt was able to take advantage of the latest rendering advancements without the need for constant hardware upgrades.
One of Pterobyt’s most notable projects was the design of large tradeshow entrance displays. The displays incorporated both 3D and 2D elements, with each wall measuring 94” x 300” at 100 dpi. The project consisted of two unique designs with a total of 12 high-resolution 3D renderings, including detailed product visualizations and large-scale scene setups such as a cylinder warehouse and a tradeshow floor mock-up. Given the scale of the renderings, completing this project in-house would have taken an immense amount of time and resources, potentially affecting other ongoing projects.
However, by partnering with GarageFarm.NET, Pterobyt was able to render these large-scale designs in a fraction of the time. The quick turnaround allowed them to meet their client’s tight deadlines without sacrificing the visual quality of the final product. Jacob Kablak, owner of Pterobyt, emphasized how important this collaboration was to the success of the project, noting that “a project that could take 20 hours non-stop rendering on a single workstation would only take GarageFarm around 30 minutes. When you’re running a business, that is just a no-brainer.”

Looking ahead, Jacob Kablak sees a bright future for 3D rendering and animation, particularly in industries such as manufacturing. As companies become increasingly aware of the benefits of 3D visualizations in explaining complex processes and promoting sophisticated machinery, demand for high-quality 3D animations continues to rise. Many industrial companies, even those without dedicated marketing departments, are beginning to recognize the value of investing in visually appealing 3D assets to enhance their online presence and support sales efforts. According to Jacob, “3D materials enhance the networking efforts even more by backing up skilled salesmen with impressive product representation.”
For many manufacturers, the ability to showcase their products through detailed 3D animations and renders can significantly improve customer engagement and drive conversions. As more companies embrace this technology, Pterobyt is well-positioned to continue delivering creative, custom-made visuals that help industrial brands stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Through their partnership with GarageFarm.NET, Pterobyt Renderings & Animations has successfully expanded its production capabilities, handling more complex projects and delivering faster results to clients. The use of cloud-based rendering services has allowed Pterobyt to focus on what they do best—creating unique, engaging 3D animations that resonate with audiences—while ensuring that they can meet even the tightest deadlines with confidence. For small studios and solo 3D artists, collaborating with a service like GarageFarm.NET can unlock new possibilities for taking on larger projects without the need for significant hardware investments. By allowing Pterobyt to focus on the creative process while GarageFarm handled the heavy rendering tasks, this collaboration has played a crucial role in Pterobyt’s continued success.
