Hello, everybody,

I am looking for a powerful virtual machine for rendering.
Can anyone recommend a site?

It doesn't matter if CPU or GPU. The most important thing is speed.

    This is one starting point :

    https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/elastic-graphics/

    Elastic Graphics supports OpenGL 4.3 and offers graphics accelerators with up to 8 GiB of graphics memory, making them ideally suited for any workload that needs a small amount of graphics acceleration such as virtual desktops, gaming, industrial design, or HPC visualization.

    No where do they mention CUDA. That means they're using Radeons. 

    Using a virtual machine for CPU rendering is not going to be good. To get enough cores for any sort of decent speed would involve buying most of the servers capacity. So you need to find someplace that has VM's with Quadros.

    you can check out paperspace.com

     

    I tried to use them a few years ago and the rendering was fine but I couldn't maniuplate the interface without wild spinning. Maybe that's changed, I know they were working on something to fix that.

    This post really helped which I could get to know paperspace.

    Yes it has still wil spinning problem so what I do is first make the scene in laptop and then save and store in cloudstorage then open in paper space and simply start rendering.

    I use macbook pro 13 2019 which is not good for rendering so I am using paperspace with p6000 and it's better in cost per performance comparing with GCP and AWS.
