I know I could probably work it out with some excel work, but I wondered if there was some kind of calculator for estimating costs when rendering with UBL Vray on AWS? I’ve come across this kind of things for other render farms but there are obviously a lot more options on AWS in terms of instance types, and it’s kind of baffling for a beginner.
Are you rendering CPU or GPU? do you know the availability in your zone?
You could have a benchmark scene and test it on a small vs big machine to see how much difference is there. then calculate the cost difference factoring in the UBL overhead.
I think there is a AWS calculator, but not for renderer specific costs
Thanks. I’m rendering with CPU. I can benchmark the scene on my own computers and get a Vray-bench score for the CPUs, so are there Vraybench scores for the various CPU instances to allow me to work out how they might compare?
You could check the V-Ray benchmark page and filter by cpu type etc.
