Overview

Rendernetwork is the world's first decentralized GPU rendering platform, transforming creative workflows with exceptional speed and global scale. By harnessing idle GPU power from around the world, Rendernetwork delivers near-limitless rendering capacity at a fraction of traditional costs. It democratizes high-end GPU rendering and compute, making next-generation 3D content creation, visual effects, and generative AI accessible to all. Since its launch in 2020, the platform has rendered over 50 million frames and is supported by the non-profit Render Network Foundation.

How It Works

  • Users prepare their 3D scenes and content for rendering.
  • Cinema 4D artists utilize a native plugin to validate scenes, package assets, and submit jobs directly.
  • The decentralized network assigns rendering jobs to global GPU nodes using a multi-tier allocation system, based on node reputation and availability (not bidding).
  • Idle GPU nodes process rendering tasks in parallel, accelerating completion.
  • Completed renders are delivered to the user, leveraging the network's elastic, scalable infrastructure.

Use Cases

High-End 3D Content Creation
Democratises access to powerful GPU rendering for motion graphics, visual effects, design, and archviz projects.
Scalable Generative AI & ML Workloads
Provides affordable, decentralized compute for AI-related tasks, including inference and edge machine learning.
Accelerated Cinema 4D Rendering
Supercharge Cinema 4D workflows by submitting jobs through a native plugin to distributed GPU nodes.

Pricing

  • Multi-tier pricing based on speed, security, and cost (per OctaneBench Hour - OBh).
    • Tier 1 (Trusted): €2.00 per 200 OBh (upcoming release)
    • Tier 2 (Priority): €0.50 per 200 OBh (increased priority and power)
    • Tier 3 (Economy): €0.25 per 200 OBh (economic solution for flexible timelines)
  • Transparent, minute-based billing; pay only for used GPU time.
  • No minimums or upfront commitments.
  • Includes a Cost Estimation Calculator for accurate budgeting.
  • Enterprise solutions and volume discounts offered for studios with major rendering needs.

FAQs

When is Arnold Render and other Render engines being added to Render Network?

Currently, adding new render engines including Arnold is a long-term goal. The main focus is on stabilizing the network and supporting multiple Octane versions. Project updates will be shared through Telegram, Twitter, and Medium.

When will Tier 1 and Enterprise Tier be released?

These tiers have been available to a closed group since April 27th and will become widely available as more nodes and partners are onboarded.

How much does it cost to render on the Render Network?

Render price depends on the selected Tier, job size, and rendering time. Average price varies due to differing project requirements.

Are there any Render Network competitors?

Several services offer rendering, but Render Network is unique with its focus on AR/VR/MR and experience in the field. Golem is often mentioned as a comparison due to its computing platform.

How do I check my RNDR balance?

Log in at rndr.x.io to view your RNDR Credit and Token balances, displayed at the top right of the interface.

Why do I need to pay a subscription to register my node on the network?

A subscription is not required to register a node; subscriptions are only for creators using rndr.x.io.
