Overview
Forrender is a leading render farm and cloud rendering service provider, empowering 3D artists, animators, and VFX professionals with high-performance cloud-based rendering solutions. In 2019, BinaryPlane was entrusted with the responsibility of overhauling Forrender’s design and functionality, elevating the user experience and streamlining its technical capabilities. Initially brought on as one on project, later integrated this ongoing project into BinaryPlane, where we serve as the core developer.
Our Contribution:
- Complete Design Overhaul: Redesigned the platform’s user interface twice, ensuring an optimized, intuitive experience that aligns with the needs of the 3D design community.
- Plugin Development: Developed three custom plugins from scratch for Cinema 4D, KeyShot, and Blender, enabling seamless submission of 3D scenes directly to Forrender’s cloud. I also co-developed a plugin for 3ds Max and have maintained it independently since my colleague’s departure.
- Payment Integrations: Implemented various payment systems, including PayPal and WayToPay, ensuring secure and flexible transactions for global users.
- Automation & Support for 3D Applications: Integrated support for automated rendering of popular tools like 3ds Max, Blender, After Effects, KeyShot, Cinema 4D, and Clarisse, expanding Forrender’s capabilities.
- Discount & Affiliate Systems: Enhanced the existing discount system, added a coupon system, and developed a comprehensive affiliate program, creating new ways for users to save and earn rewards.
- Ongoing Maintenance & Updates: As the senior developer, I continue to oversee and maintain all aspects of the platform, ensuring smooth operation, timely updates, and implementation of new features to keep Forrender at the forefront of the cloud rendering market.
Results:
Through these enhancements, Forrender has solidified its position as a go-to platform for professional rendering needs, attracting a global user base of artists and VFX professionals.
