REBUSfarm measures the render power used in GHzh and debits the appropriate amount of Renderpoints from your account. You can purchase Renderpoints in the Login Area.
Renderpoints.
Before you can use the render farm you must have enough Renderpoints in your account. Our cost calculator can give you an estimate of how many Renderpoints you will need. To start a render job you must have at least 30% of the total amount of Renderpoints estimated for your job in your account. The renderfarm can deal with your account being overdrawn (you need to activate negative Renderpoints!), but at a certain limit your the rendering job will be stopped. After your job has finished rendering you can purchase the remaining amount of renderpoints, which will make your rendered images available for download.
Negative Renderpoints If you go to My REBUS -> ShopProfile you can enable an overdraft for your account (default = OFF). This is crucial if you only intend paying a 30% deposit, as it is the only way the system will allow you to pay the remaining 70% for your renderjob. Otherwise the system will stop rendering your job the moment your account balance reaches 0. |

The overdraft is calculated by multiplying your account balance when the render job starts by a factor of 2.33. If you start more than one job at once, you will need to use the cost calculator to make sure that your render jobs don't get cancelled. You must always have 30% of the necessary renderpoints in your account when the render job starts.
