Welcome to the Developer Program
By joining our developer program, you are able to share in the vast exposure and advertising campaigns that RenderTITAN enjoys. Joining is easy and is mutually beneficial!
Why join RenderTITAN? Rendering is a stage in production that usually only a significantly amount of extra CPU power can help. However, most commercial render farms do not support plug-ins because of the substantial increase in support calls and compatibility problems they generate. Then many artists avoid plug-ins because they then can't outsource to places like us. Fortunately we have an in house solution and therefore are able to offer your customers a safe environment to render quickly and cost effectively. Your software's value just went up.
As a developer, won't I lose money? Absolutely not. To use our service, our clients already purchased your software and only need more CPU power to be able to finish rendering. Many times, our clients are in a rush situation (for a variety of reasons) and need a quick fix. If they already had a render farm, they would have already purchased the extra licenses. If they do not already have the need for their own render farm, no artist is going to buy one for an occasional large project. NOBODY HAS THE TIME OR BUDGET TO ORDER NEW RENDER NODES, NEW SOFTWARE LICENSES, ALL LAST MINUTE, TO FIX A SINGLE DEADLINE PROBLEM!
Most render nodes themselves cost at least $2,000 USD (our high end systems average $6,000) and most plug-ins only cost around $50 to $100 per node (if needed for rendering.) If your potential customers can afford several new "last minute" render nodes, the cost of the average plug-in is insignificant so your sales should never be affected. Help us help your clients solve their immediate deadline problem.

How do I Join?
First: Contact us at dev@rendertitan.com
Second: We will need full working versions of your software. Depending on your software's setup, we will need three workstation licenses (One for our support operator, one for the render farm administrator, and one directly on the server) and the ability to run enough rendering licenses on our entire render farm, assuming that render nodes also is need licenses . (Further, we need 32 and 64 bit versions for all these systems as well.)
Third: We will do a banner exchange by displaying the logo for your software on our homepage and we ask you do the same for us. These graphics will hyperlink to each other's homepage. We do have a variety of standard "Banner" sizes to choose from to help you incorporate one into your web design.
Note: We cannot guarantee that all software will be accepted. However, as long as there are no known compatibility problems with our setup, we tend to be very open to helping the 3D community.
Removal: Once we launch your software, you cannot request for it to be removed. However, we will respect that new versions of your software is not automatically included. (For instance, if you send us version 3 of your software, our customers need to have confidence that that version 3 will always be available. However, if you decide that this partnership is no longer viable for you, we will respect your decision and we will not upgrade to version 4, but version 3 will always remain active. Eventually, older version will be unpopular and become a mute point. We will remove the links to your website within 30 days helping make the transition easier.
Extra benefits? Absolutely. If you ever need rendering, we will do it at 50% off costs. If it is something that we can and want to use on our website, we will render it for free! (Of course, rendering through our developer program has a "low priority status" on our job queue because our normal clients must get access ASAP.)

Always contact us to confirm that a plug-in is available on the farm. (Maxon's network rendering program "NET Render" allows most plug-ins to work natively.) These listed plug-ins have also been already installed and are always available through our developer partnerships and are highly recommended.
We will be happy to re-render if there are any rendering issues that are directly related to our service or hardware. However, we cannot be responsible for any rendering anomalies, "buggy" software, or unexpected results that are due to your software choice, your workflow, or your optimization techniques.
