New Lagoa - render in a browser!

[oz42]

Thiago Costa (and others) has been busy again!

This time they have created a browser based rendering solution - you actually use his cloud based renderfarm in a browser window! No hardware, no software at you end!

I've only just started playing with it but the potential is amazing; imports obj's, apply BRDF materials and beautiful unbiased progressive renders in a web browser!

And there are some great collaboration tools to allow your client to see what you are rendering, live (maybe have it's downside, if they're constantly making changes!)

Best of all, free users get a small amount of small amount of free render time!

P.S. Chinny does the tutorial videos!

The only issue with this is bandwidth, IMO.

Doesn't look like you can render animation with this... but when the day comes, our work will have no market value.
