For Softimage XSI projects using Maxwell Render, please visit the Maxwell Render tutorial.

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.
• Please create cache files for final gather and photon-maps, if used.

Compressing the scene.

Create a compressed archive containing the scene and all used textures. If you're using plugins, GI maps, etc., please include the necessary files in the 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".

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.
