Best Cloud Rendering Services for 3D Workloads

Сhoose the Right Server for Your Rendering Needs

Types of projects supported (3D animation, VFX, architecture)

Our cloud rendering solutions are designed to support any size of creative project, including high-resolution 3D animations and VFX shots, architectural visualization and design walkthroughs. You can rely on our infrastructure to provide predictable performance whether you are rendering photorealistic interiors, cinematic special effects or complex simulations.

CPU vs GPU rendering – what you need to know

• CPU rendering is best suited to those projects that involve huge geometry and RAM consumption.
• The use of GPU rendering provides much faster performance in terms of ray tracing, AI-assisted rendering, and real-time previews. We like them both and you can use whichever one suits your workflow.

Choosing between shared and dedicated rendering servers

On small projects, shared servers are economical but dedicated rendering nodes provide the best performance and resource contention-free. As your project expands, it is very easy to scale up to dedicated resources.

What Are Cloud Rendering Services?

How cloud rendering works behind the scenes

We use fast servers with powerful CPUs or GPUs and upload your project files to them, process them, and send them back ready to use, so you do not need to buy costly local hardware.

Benefits over local rendering setups

1. There is no necessity to spend lots of money on hardware.
2. More rapid project turnaround using scalable resources.
3. Work where you want with the internet.

Differences between CPU and GPU-based rendering in the cloud

Our high end cloud rendering services allow you to dynamically change between CPU and GPU setups in real time. It enables you to configure your rendering environment to the particular needs of any given project-use the raw parallel processing capabilities of GPUs on complex, high-resolution work, or the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of CPUs on lighter workloads. You can speed up rendering time, optimize performance and ensure your budget does not get out of control by dynamically selecting the best setup.

Use Cases for Cloud Rendering

Animation and 3D Film Production

Cloud rendering provides the scalability needed for large-scale animation projects and full-length 3D films. Studios can process complex scenes with millions of polygons, high-resolution textures, and advanced lighting setups without being limited by local hardware capacity. This allows for faster iteration cycles, parallel rendering of multiple shots, and the ability to meet tight production deadlines without sacrificing visual quality.

Architectural Visualization and Walkthroughs

Architects and designers can create photorealistic images and immersive walkthrough animations to present their projects in the best possible light. Cloud rendering enables quick generation of high-resolution stills and smooth fly-through videos, even for highly detailed models with realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. This is ideal for client presentations, marketing materials, and virtual tours.

VFX, Simulations, and Motion Graphics for Commercials and Films

Whether it’s high-end visual effects for blockbuster movies or dynamic motion graphics for advertising campaigns, cloud rendering can handle intensive tasks like particle simulations, fluid dynamics, destruction effects, and volumetric rendering. This ensures faster turnaround times for complex sequences, enabling artists to focus on creative experimentation while the cloud handles heavy computation.

Performance and Scalability Insights

Benchmark comparisons with local setups

Benchmark tests demonstrate performance gains of up to 10× faster compared to even the most powerful high-end local workstations. This acceleration is achieved through optimized hardware configurations, high-performance CPUs and GPUs, and fast storage systems that minimize loading and processing times.

Scalability for complex rendering pipelines

When project demands increase, you can instantly scale from a single render node to hundreds of nodes working in parallel. This elasticity allows you to handle massive workloads, complex scenes, and multiple projects at once—without the delays and limitations of fixed on-premises hardware.

Queue handling and job prioritization options

Built-in queue handling and job prioritization tools help you organize rendering tasks according to project urgency. You can assign priority levels, manage resource allocation, and balance workloads across different teams, ensuring critical deadlines are always met.
