Join our Partner Development Program
We're looking for animation studios and educational institutions that may be interested in joining our partner development program. If your render farm has (or will have in the future) a large number of render nodes, we'd like to discuss partnership opportunities that may be of benefit to your organization and to the continued development of our SquidNet render management product. Development partners will contribute to the development of SquidNet by using the product and providing us with valuable feedback on their user experiences (usability, robustness, limitations, functionality, feature implementation, reliability, performance, recommendations for improvement, etc...). In exchange for your cooperation, we'll provide you with a free site license. If interested, please drop us an email and we'll get back to you with additional information on the program.
