The usual rendering job consists of the following steps:

Checking the scene.

• File names may only contain the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, as well as _-.
• Make sure that there are no duplicate filenames in your bitmap-files.

Compressing the scene.

• Load the scene into Maxwell Studio, and choose the "Pack and Go"-option in the File menu.
• Create a new folder with the name of your project and export the scene.
• Compress the folder and all files into an archive.

Uploading the file.

Log in on the "My Rebus"-page of our website. If you're not registered yet, you can do so under "Register". When logged in, you can find an uploading interface for your archive-file under "Uploader". Click on "Add", choose a file, and click on "Upload".

Contacting REBUS staff.

Downloading the finished renderings.

The rendered images can be checked and dowloaded from the "Download"-folder in the REBUSfarm "Uploader". Alternatively you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer for download, or install an FTP client on your computer.

Payment.

After the rendering job is finished, you'll receive an invoice, which can be payed via bank-transfer or PayPal. For customers from Germany, the usual 19% VAT are added to the calculated price. All customers from outside of Germany will get an invoice without added VAT. From customers inside the EU (except for Germany) we need the customer's VAT-ID for the invoice.
