Drop & Render is a specialized rendering farm tailored for Cinema 4D users, featuring an integrated plugin that supports major rendering engines and plugins. You can kick off your experience with 10 complimentary rendering farm credits. The entire process is automated, seamlessly handling everything from project loading to the final output located directly on your workstation. With our rendering farm plugin, you can remain within your preferred 3D application without interruption. All your settings are securely transmitted to our servers, while the rendered frames are stored directly on your hard drive. This eliminates the need for cumbersome additional steps to retrieve your files or endure lengthy download times. You can begin working with rendered files right away, as our farm significantly reduces rendering times. The time saved can be better utilized for creative exploration and development of new ideas. When using our service, you can access an impressive range of between 400 and 300,000 GPU cores for your rendering tasks, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

ProRender Cloud serves as a cloud-based GPU rendering solution for Blender, enabling 3D artists and production teams to leverage remote GPU resources instead of handling their own rendering hardware. The integrated Blender add-on conveniently packages the project along with all its linked assets, uploads the rendering job, and allows users to choose from different GPU pools while monitoring the rendering progress; additionally, users can oversee their projects via a cloud-based dashboard. The service features various GPU options such as Lowpool with RTX 4090 GPUs, Highpool with RTX 5090 GPUs, and Maxpool equipped with RTX PRO 6000 GPUs specifically designed for Blender Cycles tasks. By distributing rendering workloads among cloud-based GPU workers, ProRender Cloud ensures that users can easily download their completed image sequences, which may include formats like PNG or OpenEXR, directly from their accounts. Billing is designed to be straightforward, with costs calculated based on both the duration of rendering and the number of GPU nodes utilized, incorporating per-second fees and set price limits for each pool. Targeting independent artists, freelancers, animation studios, agencies, and various teams involved in Blender projects, this service caters to a wide array of client production needs, streamlining the rendering process for everyone involved. This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency but also allows for greater flexibility in managing rendering tasks across diverse projects.
