I’ll probably just uninstall After Effects, since I only installed it to play with it, and discover that I can use it for. Is this going to compete in a resource wrenching way?!? Inquiring computer geeks what to know! The dilemma? That I have to establish a Maxon presence just to find out if Maxon has established a de facto presence on my PC! I want to find out if this “Render Farm” thing is Opt-In, or is my PC going to, now, be thrust into render-service, by default?!? And, if so, how “nice” will it be? I mean, I already use my PC for CPU/GPU intensive things.

Whew !?įurther frustration and incredulity when opening Maxon Cinema 4D, only to be confronted with a Second Party authentication layer!?!? Why isn't it an Adobe Cloud authentication?!? You mean I have to establish an account with Maxon, to use an Adobe product?!? So I Googled, and learned, first, that " Team Render" is all about adding my Computer to a Render Farm!?! Wait, WHAT?!?! Then further pawing through the search results revealed the connection to Adobe and ultimately to After Effects.
