Dependency-aware uploads
Textures, caches, and add-ons are tracked automatically, so a project that renders locally renders the same way on the farm.
Cloud Rendering for Blender
Rendering built to scale
Your Animations, Made Instant.
OctaRender is a cutting-edge distributed rendering platform that gives artists and creators unparalleled speed and efficiency. Leverage our global network of nodes to render complex 3D scenes in a fraction of the time, all with simplicity in mind.
The GPU power you need.
Ready the moment you need it.
Scale from a single GPU to hundreds mid-job, with no queue and no minimum spend. Every node on the marketplace is browsable and hand-picked, with live pricing and verified performance scores, so there is never a black-box assignment.

How it works
From your Blender project to finished frames in four steps.
01
Install the add-on and configure your project
Install the Blender add-on, open your project, and set your render options. Textures, caches, and add-ons are tracked automatically.
02
Pick and rent GPU hardware
Browse available GPU nodes with transparent, live pricing and hand-pick the hardware for your job.
03
Monitor progress live
Track node activation and rendering progress in real time from the project dashboard.
04
Download your frames
Download finished frames from the Blender add-on or the web viewer, individually or by folder.
Built for real Blender projects
Live node monitoring
Watch node activation and render progress in real time, with visibility into what each node is doing on your job.
Hand-pick your hardware
Browse the GPU marketplace and choose nodes by specs, region, and live price after you sign in, with no blind hardware assignment.
Multi-layer, multi-pass output
Multi-layer EXR output with per-File-Output-node passes, previewable frame by frame in the web viewer.
Per-node control
Stop an individual node or requeue a single frame without restarting the whole job.
Pause and resume anytime
Pause a running job and resume it later. Your queued and finished frames stay exactly where you left them.
See it in action
Watch a full render job run from upload to finished frames.
FAQ
Looking for answers?
Do I only pay while a node is actually rendering?
Yes, render nodes are billed only while they have work. The platform checks for new tasks every couple of seconds and starts shutting a node down as soon as there is nothing left to render, so idle time is not billed.
What happens if a node crashes mid-render?
You only pay for successful compute time. If a node goes offline mid-job, billing for that node stops immediately and the incomplete frame goes back into the queue to be picked up by another node, so you do not lose the work.
Can I use my own Blender add-ons?
Yes. The upload step packages your project's dependencies, including textures, VDB simulation volumes, scripting assets, and custom add-ons, into a secure archive, so the render environment matches what you use locally.
Can I download frames while the job is still rendering?
Yes, open the project viewer in the web portal to watch frames come in and download the ones that are already finished, without interrupting nodes that are still working.
