What is RenderOnNodes?

RenderOnNodes is a community-driven render farm. Instead of paying a massive corporation to rent server time, you are tapping into a global network of independent computer owners who rent out their idle graphics cards.

We connect Artists who need rendering done with Providers who have idle hardware, using cryptocurrency to automatically guarantee payments.

How It Practically Works​

  1. Upload: An Artist creates an account and uploads a packed Blender file to our dashboard.
  2. Split: The platform automatically splits the animation into individual frames.
  3. Render: The frames are sent to dozens (or hundreds) of Node Providers around the world. Their GPUs render the frames.
  4. Deliver & Pay: Once a frame is finished and verified, it is automatically sent back to the Artist. The platform automatically deducts the cost from the Artist and pays the Node Provider.
The RenderOnNodes distributed GPU node network

A premium, global mesh of independently operated GPU nodes rendering frames simultaneously.

Why Use It?​

If you are an Artist:​

  • Blistering Speed: Instead of rendering 100 frames on your single computer (which takes 100 hours), you can render 100 frames on 100 different computers on the network simultaneously, finishing in 1 hour.
  • Cheaper Cost: Providers are rendering from home. They don't have massive corporate server costs, so renders are significantly cheaper than traditional cloud services.

If you are a Node Provider:​

  • Passive Income: If you have an RTX 3090 sitting idle while you sleep or work, you can turn on the node software and get paid automatically for rendering other people's frames.
