Today we finished a pre-alpha version of the rendermaster. This is a special page to render your .blend files uploading them to the server and downloading the result after.

The advantages are many, because you don't need to wait for hours with you computer busy, the server does this work for you and you only download the image.

It's a new project and needs a lot of improvements, but the cool part is that you can render pictures today!

See the work on http://www.blendermasters.com/rendermaster  

I think all of us had a time trying to let our model more realistic, but never we get the result.

With this in mind, I'm giving this two links with libraries of materias made by Blender users.
