• Design complete building interiors for visualization.
• Quickly prototype architectural concepts in 3D.

How To Install

Scene Prep Checklist

Complete these steps before uploading your scene to a render farm.

1. 1

   Install the same add-on version on every render worker

   Required
2. 2

   Upload all external textures, presets, and asset files

   Required
3. 3

   Run a 1-frame test render on the farm before full submission

   Recommended

Things To Watch Out For

• Local path or asset-library signals were detected. Paths that work on the artist machine can still fail on remote workers.

Common Mistakes

• Not uploading external textures or assets, leading to missing elements in renders.
• Assuming local paths will work on farm workers without adjustment.
• Skipping the test render, which can catch setup issues early.

Recommended Workflow

• Check whether the add-on launches its own render operators locally and avoid assuming that workflow maps cleanly to farm orchestration.
• Open the scene in desktop Blender, run any interactive setup steps, save the file, then validate a small background render before scaling up.
