Okay #blender fans: I have a lack of compute problem.
The test version of the five minute topical videos I'm making is looking like it'd take about three to five days to render on my machine.
I intend to spend at last part of the weekend figuring out how to use the compute markets to get spot compute to render the thing frame by frame on hundreds or thousands of computers instead.
Last time I did this kinda thing I was using AWS spot markets and custom software badly taped together with perl scripts.
Surely something better exists now? How can I farm out my rendering? Did any of those crypto projects actually make it possible to borrow a thousand gamer's graphics cards for an hour yet?
