1a. Choose render engine

We’ve tried to make using Renderfarm.fi from within Blender as simple as possible. However, should you experience any problems or have any feature requests, please see the forum. Meanwhile, start by choosing Renderfarm.fi from the engine drop-menu (top toolbar).

1b. Enable render engine

Our script is included in Blender, but by default is not enabled. If you can't see the engine, then go to the User Preferences -> Addons -> Render and click the check box next to Renderfarm.fi (green dot). The engine should now be visible in the menu. Remember to save your changes.

2. Enter user information

In your Render properties, you’ll see panels for Renderfarm.fi. Start by entering your email address (the one you use on Renderfarm.fi) followed by your password. Now hit Confirm Credentials. At any time, you can change your login info by pressing Change User.

3. Fill in scene information

Fill out scene information until you don’t see any warnings. Remember to set the render size of your scene appropriately. When done, press Check Scene. This will save your current file with the changes you made. The next time you open it, filled in information will already be there.

To make sure that you get the expected results, please do a test render.

4. Finalize and upload

Finally choose your preferred licenses, and make sure the limit on maximum memory usage is set correctly (future versions will have memory estimation features, so this requirement could soon become defunct). Now just hit the Render button and continue enjoying Blender!
