Custom Scripts with Python

Custom scripts in Brender Cloud allow you to run Python scripts alongside your rendering jobs. This feature is useful for automating repetitive tasks or creating custom render pipelines.

What We Support

File Types

• Supported Files:
  • .blend
  • .zip

    Note: A .zip file is more flexible if you have additional relative assets or files (such as caches) that cannot be embedded in the .blend file.

Script Selection

• Script File:
  Choose the Python script you want to run with your rendering job. Please note that these must be uploaded beforehand on Scripts Page. For more information, refer to our Scripts.

Add-ons Selection

• Add-ons:
  You can select additional add-ons for your project. Please note that these must be uploaded beforehand on Extensions Page. For more information, refer to our Add-ons.

Environment Variables

• Environment Variables:
  Define custom environment variables to pass to your Python script. This feature is useful for setting up configurations or passing data to your script.

Server Allocation

• Number of Servers:
  Depending on your subscription plan, you can select between 1 and 12 servers. This option is useful if you want to prioritize speed, as rendering will be distributed in parallel with each server processing a chunk of the frame range.
