Using Renderjuice is pretty intuitive. At a high level, there are a few main phases:

  1. Uploading
  2. Validating
  3. Rendering
  4. Completed

There are a few other sub-phases, but we’ve left them out here for clarity. These include Booting, Finalizing, and possible Error statuses.

At each phase, our magical render wheel will let you know where you are in the process.

Your render is being uploaded to our servers. This is a one-time step.

Walkthrough your first render

Okay, now that you’ve seen the phases, let’s walk through your first render.

1

Decide what format you want to upload with

Here’s a demo file to get you started.

Renderjuice accepts both .zip and .blend files. For your first render, we recommend using a simple .blend file.

2

Drag and drop your file

Start off by dragging and dropping your file into our uploader.

3

Wait for validation to complete

During this step, Renderjuice is going through your file and extracting metadata like Blender version, render settings, and missing files.

4

(Optional) Fix any missing files

The UI will notify you of any missing files or dependencies when validation completes. You may fix these or proceed if you’re confident the render doesn’t need these.

5

Tweak and modify

The UI will notify you of any missing files or dependencies when validation completes. Please fix these or proceed if you’re confident the render doesn’t need these.

6

Input the frames you want to render

Input the frame ranges you’d like to render. Comma separated ranges like 1-100, 200-300 are supported.

7

Watch it go!

You can monitor the progress of your render in real-time and download frames as they finish.
