Mount your existing LucidLink filespace onto our Windows GPU render nodes — no re-uploading, per-customer cache, render in place.
Your assets stay where they are — render at Super Renders Farm.
Questions? Chat with our team — typical reply under 5 minutesIf your studio runs on a shared filespace, every render job on an upload-only farm forces you to re-export, repack, and push hundreds of gigabytes through the public internet before rendering can start. The data side becomes the bottleneck, not the render side.
Worked example: an 800 GB scene packed for a Cinema 4D + Redshift archviz project takes the better part of a business day to upload at 100 Mbps — before a single frame renders. Multiply across three to five weekly jobs and the upload window owns the calendar, not the GPU fleet. Versions compound the problem — a 20 GB asset swap mid-project means another re-export and another upload window.
LucidLink solves the data side cleanly: byte-range streaming over object storage, encrypted end-to-end, mounted as a local drive on every workstation in the pipeline. The artist team stops thinking about where files live.
But hyperscaler render fleets such as AWS Deadline Cloud and the equivalents on GCP require you to self-manage the fleet itself — service-account credentials, VPC topology, AMI templates, event-script lifecycle, autoscaling policies, and the operational vocabulary that goes with each. Most studios do not want to be cloud sysadmins on top of being artists.
Super Renders Farm closes the gap: bring your LucidLink filespace, we run the managed render fleet. The data workflow you already have, attached to render hardware you do not have to operate.
The integration uses LucidLink's headless Windows Service mode, designed for exactly this purpose: rendering on a node that has no interactive user session.
LucidLink's Windows Service mode runs on each Super Renders Farm GPU node. Your filespace auto-reconnects after node reboot — no manual login, no interactive RDP session required, no fragile auto-login workaround. The mount survives the long-running, headless lifecycle that a render fleet demands.
A single service-account credential mounts your filespace for the duration of a dedicated cluster engagement, mirroring the architectural pattern LucidLink and AWS Deadline Cloud document in their joint reference. Your master credentials never leave your studio. Rotation, revocation, and access scope all stay under your control.
A dedicated per-customer cache server inside our render cluster absorbs region latency. Once an asset is fetched by the first node that needs it, subsequent reads hit local-disk speed across the fleet — the same on-cluster acceleration pattern LucidLink recommends with its TeamCache appliance, applied at the render side. A 20-node fleet that would otherwise stream the same 40 GB texture pack twenty times streams it once and reads it locally nineteen more.
Each customer's cache lives on storage assigned only to that engagement. No pooling, no shared blocks between studios, no chance of a misconfigured permission bleeding one project into another. At engagement end, the cache server is wiped and the render nodes are reimaged. Written confirmation of data deletion is available on request.
Submit jobs through our render management layer. The fleet mounts your filespace, renders, writes outputs back to your filespace, unmounts, and reports back. Zero re-upload before the job. Zero output download after. Your assets never leave LucidLink.
A note on positioning: the AWS Deadline Cloud + LucidLink reference is a valid architecture for studios with a cloud platform team that wants to own the fleet — the LucidLink documentation walks through it. The space we sit in is different: studios that have the data workflow but do not want to add cloud-fleet operations to the production team's plate. We run the fleet so you run the project.

Two paths live under the same roof, and the right one depends on how your pipeline already works.
Direct Transfer (the default tier on [render farm rental](/render-farm-rental)). Suited to one-off projects, standalone scenes, and studios that do not run a shared filespace. No third-party account required. Asset upload via Cyberduck, FTP/SFTP, or pull from Google Drive or Dropbox. A sensible starting point for solo artists, freelancers, and small studios where each project is self-contained.
Bring Your Own Filespace (this page). Designed for studios already running LucidLink in their pipeline. The right fit when you have recurring jobs, large scenes (typically more than 500 GB), tight turnarounds where the upload window would consume a meaningful share of the schedule, or a distributed team that already shares the filespace across multiple workstations and offices. The dedicated cluster engagement is the recommended commercial form for this tier, because per-customer cache isolation is a dedicated-cluster property.
Not sure which side of the line you sit on? The rule of thumb is the upload calendar. If you are scheduling around how long it takes to push a project to a render farm, the upload tax is real for you and the filespace workflow is worth a conversation. If a Friday-evening upload comfortably finishes before a Monday-morning render, the Direct Transfer tier is most likely the simpler answer.
LucidLink's zero-knowledge AES-256 architecture is preserved end to end. The cache layer in our cluster holds encrypted blocks only — plaintext is never resident on the cache. Render nodes decrypt in memory at the point of use.
Each engagement runs on its own cache server. No shared storage between studios, no cross-tenant access path. This applies the TPN MPA data-segregation principle at the cluster level: the property that matters for media security is not whether a vendor holds a paper certificate, but whether the architecture makes cross-customer data exposure mechanically impossible. Per-customer cache isolation does exactly that.
At engagement end, the cache server is wiped and the render nodes are reimaged from a known-clean base image. Written confirmation of data deletion is available on request. This closes the loop on residual data — the only state that survives an engagement is the state you have already pulled back into your filespace.
Standard mutual NDAs are available before workflow validation calls and before any project-specific architectural review.
Super Renders Farm is compatible with the security posture your LucidLink subscription already provides. LucidLink itself holds independent TPN Gold Shield certification and SOC 2 audit attestation, and your project data inherits those properties end to end. Super Renders Farm does not currently hold an independent TPN certification; the per-customer cache isolation pattern is the architectural answer that supports media-pipeline security requirements today, and a Q3 2026 independent compliance roadmap is under review.
LucidLink is the first production-validated mount-and-render integration we run, and the page you are reading reflects that production status. Several adjacent integrations are on the 2026 roadmap as part of the same shared mount-adapter architecture.
If your studio runs on a different shared-storage stack — S3-compatible buckets such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or Cloudflare R2, or on-premises NAS such as Synology, QNAP, or TrueNAS reachable through a site-to-site tunnel — contact us. We can validate fit on the dedicated-cluster tier today even where the public landing page for that integration is still to come. The roadmap is real and the engineering pattern is shared; LucidLink simply shipped first.
This page does not duplicate the pricing table — pricing for both Direct Transfer and the dedicated cluster engagement lives on the pricing page where it can stay in sync without drift.
The short version: dedicated cluster engagements are quoted per-cluster (node count, duration, region) rather than per-frame, because the per-customer cache and the service-account mount are dedicated infrastructure for the engagement window. For recurring-workload studios, a small dedicated cluster slot often comes in lower than the equivalent upload-only per-frame cost once upload time is accounted for. Talk to us before booking — we can scope a tighter estimate than a calculator can.
All render licenses are bundled — V-Ray, Corona, Arnold, Redshift, Octane, Cycles, plus all DCC apps. No license servers, no Multi-User Licenses, no per-seat fees. Render with our licenses.
Forest Pack + RailClone are pre-installed and license-covered (carry-forward from Brief #9; iToo partner verification pending).
Yes. This workflow requires you to bring your own LucidLink filespace and subscription. We provide the GPU fleet, the per-customer cache server, the render management layer, and the operations. The LucidLink license is yours and stays under your control.
No. We are compatible with your LucidLink workflow; we are not a license reseller. You manage your LucidLink filespace, billing, and seat allocation directly with LucidLink.
The per-customer cache isolation property makes the dedicated cluster engagement the recommended fit, because isolation only holds when the cache is a dedicated-cluster resource. For smaller recurring workloads, a small dedicated cluster slot is often more cost-effective than the per-frame math suggests. Talk to us about your project and we can scope it both ways.
A shared cache would pool assets from multiple studios onto the same hardware. Our per-customer cache lives on storage assigned only to your engagement. No data crossover, no cross-tenant read path. At engagement end, the cache server is wiped.
Yes. The cross-country deployment topology extends naturally to the filespace workflow. Your filespace stays in its origin region; render nodes in other regions read through the regional cache layer, which absorbs the long-distance hop after the first pull.
Render outputs are written back to your LucidLink filespace. Your assets never leave LucidLink. At engagement end, the cache server is wiped and the render nodes are reimaged from a clean base image. Written confirmation of data deletion is available on request.
Cinema 4D, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Houdini, After Effects, and NukeX — the same stack as our standard render fleet. V-Ray, Corona, Arnold, Redshift, Octane, and Cycles are all supported. If your pipeline uses a tool not listed here, ask — coverage extends regularly and the answer is usually yes.
We are pursuing formal Technology Alliance Partner status with LucidLink. In the meantime, the workflow on this page is built around LucidLink's published Windows Service mode and follows the architectural patterns LucidLink recommends in its joint reference with AWS Deadline Cloud. Proven in production with a marketing and advertising production team.
