I made my own distributed render orchestrator that supports Cycles + custom plugins. It uses Modal’s cloud compute APIs to spawn jobs on up to 20x containers with an L40S GPU (like 80% as fast as a 4090 with tons more VRAM) each. It ain’t cheap but it’s absurdly fast, and much easier in terms of cash flow than outright buying the equivalent GPUs.

That is possibly the most original README I've seen in a long time.

I will admit it's a bit.. obfuscated, though?

Thanks for checking it out! And yeah, I’m not expecting it to gain much traction, just having fun with it.
Second title should have been named the Book of Job IMO
Sure why not, updated.
