3D Rendering

Pictor’s core 3D service for rendering 3D projects faster and more affordably — powered by decentralized GPUs.

Pictor 3D Rendering Service Overview

This overview gives you insights into what Pictor 3D Rendering is, who it’s designed for, and how it can be used to optimize 3D rendering jobs.

What is Pictor 3D Rendering?

At its core, Pictor 3D Rendering is a decentralized rendering service powered by the global GPU infrastructure of the Pictor Network. By pooling distributed compute resources, the service enables 3D projects of any size—from individual still frames to full-length animations—to be rendered faster, at lower cost, and without the limitations of centralized infrastructure.

Through the aggregator mechanism, Pictor intelligently matches rendering jobs with the most suitable available GPUs across the network, balancing speed, quality, and cost. This ensures creators always get access to the compute power they need, without worrying about hardware setup or capacity constraints.

Who uses the Pictor 3D Rendering Service?

Pictor 3D Rendering is designed for Pictor Creators – 3D artists, animators, designers, and others who require high-performance rendering services for their 3D projects. Whether you are a freelancer working on a small-scale project or a large studio handling complex animations, Pictor Render provides the tools and resources needed to manage and complete rendering tasks efficiently.

Using 3D Rendering services, Creators can:

• Submit 3D rendering jobs

• Monitor rendering progress

• Review rendered results

• Download rendered results

How 3D Rendering Service Works?

The Pictor Render Cloud is a web-based application that provides decentralized rendering services accessible via a web browser. It is particularly beneficial for Creators as it offers ease of use and accessibility to any internet-connected device.

Currently, Pictor Render Cloud supports Blender with Cycles, Eevee, and Workbench. Other popular software such as Cinema 4D, Redshift, Octane, Maya, Arnold, 3ds Max, V-Ray, Houdini, etc, will be available soon.

Let’s explore some key services that Pictor Render Cloud offers our users.

1. Submit 3D rendering job

The Submit 3D Rendering Job feature in Pictor Render Cloud is designed to simplify the rendering process for Creators, allowing them to initiate rendering tasks with ease and flexibility. This key service enables users to create rendering jobs by following a straightforward workflow.

• Upload project files

• Adjust Settings and Submit Jobs

  • Adjust Render Settings such as 3D software and its version, render engine, output format, resolution, render frame/render node, etc.

  • Configure Network Settings such as Worker location, Hardware configuration (GPU manufacturer, model, and number), and Pricing tier.

  • Set Payment Settings: payment method (Coin or Credits).

2. Monitor rendering progress

After the job is submitted, it will be rendered by Pictor’s distributed Workers. In this processing stage, Pictor Render Cloud allows users to monitor the progress of their rendering jobs in real-time. Users can see the detailed real-time status of each frame (whether it’s queued, processing, or succeeded).

3. Review render results

Based on our extensive experience in 3D rendering, we have observed that while 95% of tasks are rendered correctly, there is a 5% chance of inaccuracies. To address this, Pictor employs an additional layer of quality assurance. Users, or Creators, can review the render results and confirm which frames are rendered correctly to accept and which frames are rendered incorrectly to request re-rendering.

4. Download render results

Once the rendering job is completed and accepted, Creators can download the final renders directly from the Pictor Render Cloud.
