Scripting Integration with Cloud-Based Render Farms

[theeastcoastwest]

I'm working on a script that, among other things, needs to submit jobs to be rendered by third party services.

 

I have a decent amount of personal experience doing manual submissions, namely with Rebus Farm, but I'm trying to find a service that has some form of API support for custom submission processes.

 

Things that could work:

1. native API to be called externally from 3D applications in languages such as Python

2. Application-based APIs to be called from within 3D applications (MaxScript for example).

 

I can sacrifice plugin support, but 3DS Max + VRay support is a must-have.

 

Anyone have any experience with this approach? I'm looking at several different potentials right now but I'd hoped someone might be able to offer up some personal experience to help me make a shortlist of possibilities.

 

Thanks in advance
