Why this farm
Why SketchUp users choose Super Renders Farm
02
Honest about real-time engines
Enscape, D5 Render, and Lumion are real-time apps; none offers a conventional render-node or farm-submission mode, so we skip them. We render V-Ray scenes.
03
Animation off your workstation
Walkthroughs and turntables of hundreds of frames are split across nodes, so a job that blocks a laptop overnight does not have to.
04
Know the spend first
Enter your frame count and per-frame render time in the cost calculator to see the credit spend before you submit the job.
Pre-render validation
Pre-render validation — every job, before credits run
Most submitted scenes have at least one issue our pre-render validation catches — broken external references, missing textures, bad output paths, or camera configuration errors. We surface these before render starts, so you don't pay for failed frames. For DCC plugin submissions (Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, C4D), validation runs locally before upload. For web-submitted scenes, it runs on our side before the job enters the render queue.
- Asset paths resolved
Every texture, proxy, and reference is verified reachable on the render node before the first sample fires.
- Camera output set
Resolution, frame range, output path, and AOV stack are confirmed against your scene file — no surprise empty MultiPart EXR.
- License reachability
Engine licenses are confirmed on the assigned node before credits deduct. V-Ray, Redshift, Corona, Octane, Arnold all check pass / fail visibly.
- Scene compatibility
Renderer version, plug-in versions, and required add-ons are matched against the node's installed stack. Mismatch → swap-to-compatible-node, not an error.

From scene file to final frame in four steps
- 1
Upload your project
Drag-and-drop scenes with no hard size limit; above roughly 2 GB we recommend the Client App (resumable, retries automatically) or S3 access with Cyberduck or the AWS CLI. On residential connections a browser upload gets slow past that size, becomes unreliable above roughly 5 GB, and does not resume if the connection drops or the tab closes.
- 2
We validate your scene
Pre-render validation flags asset paths, camera output, license reachability, scene-version compatibility before credits start.
- 3
Submit your render job
Per-frame billing. Choose Standard, Fast, or Fastest tier. Live progress per frame.
- 4
Get your results
Download finals or sync to your bucket. EXR, MP4, image sequence — your call.
V-Ray for SketchUp is provisioned on request, across SketchUp 2017 to 2026. Confirm the V-Ray build that matches your SketchUp version with support before you upload. Then upload the .skp with the textures, components, and proxy files it references as a folder structure, because the farm does not extract archives. In an animation, each frame renders on its own node, while a single still renders on one node, so test the per-frame time first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Confirm your build with support before you upload. SketchUp 2017 to 2026, rendered through V-Ray for SketchUp. If your build falls outside that range, or you run a V-Ray build you need matched exactly, contact our support team before you upload and we will confirm what we can provision.
No. Enscape, D5 Render, and Lumion are real-time engines that render on the GPU of the machine they run on, and none offers a conventional render-node or farm-submission mode. Lumion's own support page says conventional render node functionality is not available and suggests splitting an image-sequence frame range across your own PCs by hand. The farm renders SketchUp scenes through V-Ray for SketchUp.
Confirm V-Ray render licensing with support before your first job. Where we provision V-Ray for SketchUp, the render license is covered on our nodes, so you do not rent or install one for the farm. You still need your own SketchUp and V-Ray licenses to author and test the scene on your workstation.
Upload the .skp together with the textures, components, and proxy files it references, using the web dashboard or the Client App. The farm does not extract archives, so upload the folder structure itself rather than a .zip or .rar.
Yes. An animation is a sequence of frames, and each frame is rendered on its own node, so a long walkthrough finishes much sooner than on one workstation. A single still image renders on one node, so test the per-frame time first.
CPU rendering starts from $0.004/GHz-hr at standard priority, and new accounts receive $25 free render credits. Use the cost calculator with your frame count and per-frame time for an estimate before you submit.
