Please, I would like to see:

What is Renderfarm.fi?
Renderfarm.fi is a platform for doing distributed rendering over the Internet. It is a completely free service that enables its users to render their animations or stills by using the computing power of volunteers from around the world. By doing so, graphic artists and animators benefit from being able to use higher image quality and higher resolutions when rendering. Equally importantly, it enables its users to participate in the rendering of stills and animations, regardless of whether or not they themselves are able to or even interested in learning about 3D modeling and animation. Our aim is to make Renderfarm.fi as accessible as possible, enabling as many people as possible to both take part in and take use of the technologies behind the service. The Renderfarm.fi crew encourages you to take part in both the online community and the collaborative rendering.


The technology
During the last ten years or so, the development of open source technologies such as GPL-licensed Blender and the LGPL-licensed BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing), have made projects like BURP (Big and Ugly Rendering Project) and Renderfarm.fi possible. BURP is a system for doing publicly distributed rendering of computer generated 3D animations and stills. BURP is also a free software and distributed under GPL v3. The technologies behind it make it possible for Renderfarm.fi to reach the service's fundamental goal; giving its users access to seemingly limitless computing power which can be used to render animations that would take an impossibly long time on a single computer. By dividing the work among hundreds of computers, an animation that takes possibly months to render in CPU time could be completed in only a few days.
