The best choice (costs, professionalism, very good contact with clients, also soon special client software for Lightwave which helps do everything automatically also with Kray + special module for Kray) GARAGEFARM. Also GarageFarm is supported by G. and vice versa.
Rest render farms I have bad experience: bad response , bad service, no mail answers, horrible costs, etc.

Actually you ask some details which I wanted explain soon in special topic.
Guys from GarageFarm are on the front big changes: I am in beta test team of new plugin for Lightwave which allow you send to render farm whole scene without any third-part action. It mean you will have option to easy update CREDITS on you account and use plugin as client in Network. It will be special plugin also for Kray with all options supported. Soon will be more details about this on forum.

You can calculate GI by yourself or they can calculate it for you on render farm. I did not test this plugin since 4 months (busy) but I think is almost done - I just need load new version and check again. Meanwhile you can contact them via Skype 24h/day + on your account you can see progress of rendering.
I did a couple projects by theirs render farm and they have very good service and prices.
Still we waiting for official advertisement and information from GarageFarm on Kray page and I think it will be soon officially.

The compatibility is the same as rendering on singular computer but of course is necessary knowledge about rendering animation.

I confirm, Garage farm is really serious

I have bug with kray, He calculate for every frame the GI in mode "shared for all frame" ..
You have same problem? I uninstall and install, always the same problem.

Please send me scene if possible. ..but I doubt it is something wrong.
Please post what procedures you do. Animation is pretty simple in Kray but it is necessary to know some knowledge about it.

Hi folks!

We just finished new plugin for our farm that I hope will help all users no matter what your pipeline is.
There was so many requests to support PSD Export, Composite Buffer Export, exrTrader, and of course KRay Buffers, so we spent some time to get them all in!

If you will have any suggestions for new features or find a bug, please post it here, PM me or contact our friendly support that works 24/7. I am long time LightWaver and I will try to serve the community with best tools!:devil:
