Your cryptic reference is noted. There are online renderfarm services,
but like a lot of other online services I can't see uploading
proprietary work for anyone to steal.

"Elephant's Dream" was created with Blender, and seems to show Blender

it one tends to say (as with many "Hollywood" CGI movies), WHAT THE
HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?   ;-)
