Renderfarm.fi was a Finnish sister project to BURP that shared its back-end software. It was developed between 2007 and 2009 through the Open Rendering Environment (ORE) research initiative at [[Laurea University of Applied Sciences]], guided by Janus Kristensen and Julius Tuomisto, with a team of undergraduate students.<ref name="wikipedia-burp" /> An independent BURP server was set up in Finland to underpin the service.

BURP's rendering engine support evolved over the project's lifetime:

* '''YafaRay''' (June to August 2004) ~~-- the~~ original supported renderer; found inadequate and replaced.
