Introduction

At Brender Cloud, we offer several rendering options. Currently, we support Animation, Still, and Custom Scripts with Python. Each mode has its unique characteristics:

• Animation: Ideal for projects requiring sequential frame rendering.
• Still: Best suited for single-frame outputs.
• Custom Scripts with Python: Allows for advanced, script-based rendering customizations.

These options are separated to help users choose the one that best fits their needs.

Recommendations Before Rendering on Brender Cloud

1. Local Testing:
   Perform tests locally at a low resolution and with various frames. This practice helps avoid surprises, such as issues with hidden objects.

2. Node Paths:
   Review your node paths and ensure they are set to a relative format (e.g., using //) whenever possible. Rendering with File Output Nodes provides more information on this topic.

3. Pack Textures:
   Pack your textures into the .blend file by navigating to External Data > Pack Resources. This step ensures that all textures are included in the .blend file.

4. Optional Test Render Jobs:
   Optionally, submit test render jobs on Brender Cloud to confirm that the output meets your expectations.
