Hey all. Long time lurker, first time poster; I’m Taylor. I’m a VFX artist working in commercials in London (Autodesk Flame, Nuke, Blender). Over the last two years I’ve been building a cloud workstation service called Smokestack, that gives you the ability to stream a full GPU desktop with Blender (and a handful of other DCCs) pre-installed straight to your browser, so you’re not limited by your local machine.
I’m looking for a handful of UK-based Blender users for a closed beta, just after honest feedback on how it holds up under real use. If you’re up for it, email me at taylor@smokestack.cloud or join the waitlist at https://smokestack.cloud and I’ll get you set up as soon as there’s space
