Using On A Render Farm
What render farm submitters need to know before sending jobs.
We could not inspect this add-on's code. Install it on your farm workers and run a single-frame test job before committing to a production render.
Scene Prep Checklist
Complete these steps before uploading your scene to a render farm.
- 1
Install the same add-on version on every render worker
Required - 2
Run all bake and cache steps locally before uploading
Required - 3
Upload all external textures, presets, and asset files
Required - 4
Test that the add-on works without internet on a worker
Recommended - 5
Run a 1-frame test render on the farm before full submission
Recommended - 6

Things To Watch Out For
- Network-related code was detected. Any online lookups, licensing checks, or downloads should be tested before relying on farm execution.
- Local path or asset-library signals were detected. Paths that work on the artist machine can still fail on remote workers.
- Bake or cache signals were detected. Generated outputs may need to be prepared before upload.
Common Mistakes
- Not uploading local assets or helper files, causing incorrect renders.
- Failing to upload caches or baked outputs, leading to discrepancies between local and farm renders.
Recommended Workflow
- Bake caches or precompute outputs before sending a long render job when the add-on depends on generated intermediate data.
- Open the scene in desktop Blender, run any interactive setup steps, save the file, then validate a small background render before scaling up.
Worker Node Setup
For render farm administrators: what each render node needs to run this add-on.
Install the same version of the add-on on all workers. Ensure all external files and caches are uploaded with the scene.
