Lots of red flags. These guys apparently have very little clue what they're talking about.
I mean "fast + virtual" already makes me doubtful. And I'm sure that with the internet being overloaded by everyone working from home, using remote desktop is going to be even more painful than usual.
But when they claim "Get a new computer in less than 5 minutes, zero configuration required." and then mention 3ds max, I am 100% convinced that they are clueless. Pretty much nobody uses the stock 3ds renderer, so you'll need to install something like Redshift or V-Ray, too. And setting up the plugin licensing alone will take you hours. Plus you have to re-do it every time the underlying hardware of your virtual instance changes.
Oh, and then there's pricing. "P6000
For extreme 3D apps, rendering" starts at 50GB SSD? WTF? I have a 8TB storage raid here to keep the scene files around. And then "Only pay for what you use" but "For hourly plans, if your machine is powered off, you will only be billed for your storage."
OK, so you pretend to cater to 3D professionals, but you fail to mention licensing, the number 1 cloud issue, you provide too little storage to load even a hobby-sized rendering project, and your on-demand service will bill me for storage unless I download and re-upload terabytes of data every time I switch projects.
I'd say you can greatly improve your pitch by NOT promoting it as a professional solution. It's probably great for hobbyists and gamers, so I would focus on them with the marketing.
Oh and how are you going to be "Delivering every frame in less than 16.6 ms" when there's 50ms of latency (due to speed of light) between me and your closest server?
- ktpsns 7y agoThis is so true. I've done GPU heavy High performance rendering on remote VNC-like connections, something which requires lot's of preparation time -- and evventually you will be frustrated by working remotely.
