Step 1: Submit

1. After starting the client app, please log in first. For users without an account, click [Register] to start creating an account.

2. Select a region and then click [Start]. 

3.Drag the local 3dsmax scene file to any location on the client interface.

4.Add the software and plugin configuration. In the configuration box, set the config name, system, software, plugin and the installation path of the 3dsmax software.

If the required plug - in information is not found, you can feedback to the customer service for customization.

After the settings are completed, click [Save].

5.After configuration is completed, select the newly set software plug-in configuration and rendering machine model, then click [OK]. The job will enter the analysis phase.

Software: Ensure that the selected software and plug-in configurations match your scenes.

Hardware: Select an appropriate rendering machine per your requirements. The superior the configuration, the higher the rendering efficiency, enabling rapid completion of rendering tasks.

Otner: Select an existing project or create a new one; setting up a project facilitates subsequent verification of consumption bills.

Step 2: Analyze

1.After analysis, if there are no errors or warnings, click "Next " to submit the rendering. If there are warnings, you may ignore them and proceed with submission; if there are analysis errors, please modify as prompted before proceeding.

2. Set the rendering parameters. The specific parameters are as follows:

2.1 Render parameter setting

Select the cameras, frames range, output name, output type, gamma, width, height, output file format to be rendered.

V-Ray setting: When V-Ray plugin is configured, enabling the V-Ray switch allows you to set up V-Ray for the selected camera. Different cameras support different settings. You can also synchronize the V-Ray settings from one camera to others. (Note: when selecting photon mode and secondary texture, these configurations cannot be synchronized to other cameras.)

2.2 Test frame setting

To ensure optimal results, we recommend that you prioritize test frames before clicking [Submit]. After the test frames are rendered, confirm that they meet your expectations. If so, click [Full Render] in the [Render List]. If you have any questions, please contact our online customer service.

In the initial state, three frames—the first frame, middle frame, and final frame—are automatically selected.

Custom test frames are allowed, with a maximum of 10 frames that can be entered.

2.3 Advanced setting

Select project: You can create a new project or select an existing project name. Adding a project will facilitate subsequent project management and billing statistics;

Region tiles: Each frame will be divided into a specified number of blocks for rendering, and then the blocks will be synthesized.

Note:With each rendering engine’s specialty ,it maybe exsit composition errors on block rendering result, please use block render cautiously.

Frames per node: Number of frames rendered by one node(machine);

Timeout alert(h): An email alert will be sent if the rendering frame time exceeds the set limitation. The receiving email can be configured by yourself in  Web->Message seetings->Job message settings;

Timeout alert(h): If the time - consuming of a rendering frame exceeds the set limitation, it will be automatically stopped and you will be informed via email. The receiving email can be configured by yourself in  Web->Message seetings->Job message settings.

3. Click [Submit] to initiate rendering.

Step 3: Upload

The job will appear in  Upload Page; after upload, it will automatically enter the rendering phase.

Step 4: Rendering and download

1.During the rendering process, you can click on jobs to view rendering details;

2. After rendering is completed, the file will be automatically downloaded to your computer. The relevant settings for the rendering result output path can be operated in Settings - >Download ->Default path.
