New Free Addon for faster EEVEE Render

PseudoRenderingFarm is a new free Blender addon that makes my EEVEE renders 2-3 times faster. It launches several Blender render instances instead of default one. This results in a better hardware utilisation. The default render leaves performance on the table, so this addon helps you use it.

In this video, I show how to install it and explain what you need to know.

With all the magic of this addon, a lot still depends on the power of your computer. But here is my experience. I tested this addon on one of my Funny Legs episodes. The default render of 810 frames took 5 minutes and 51 second. Using this addon, I rendered the same scene in just 2 minutes and 19 seconds.

You can download the addon and read more technical details here: https://github.com/MKlimenko/PseudoRenderingFarm

Multi-GPU rendering with EEVEE and Vulkan

FYI if anyone has an issue installing, after downloading the .zip from gitbub:

It’s double-zipped when you download. (So unzip, then install the zip.)

(ALSO - thanks for the post, Yana!)

Looks interesting and you got a significant speed increase in your stated results - what Graphics Card are you using?

My results:

308 Frames, saving w/ 2 separate EXR layers, 1080p

1 instance: 190.1 seconds
3 instances: 93.9 seconds

(3060ti, 8GB)

I’ve seen similar times using a method of setting up a render farm, then assigning frame ranges for each instance… it works well, but was so much manual work. This is so much easier and makes it worth it. :slight_smile:

Brilliant! Thanks! Any same project for cycles?

Thank you! The same addon can render with Cycles, but I got only 10% time boost while testing it, so not as impressive as it works with EEVEE.
