Every job you complete is on the record from the day you install. There's no payout today — just credits, a rank, and first pick of the queue. If we ever turn payouts on, that record is how we'll decide who came first.
Contribution tracked from install. No dates, no numbers promised until it ships.
The work
A render farm is a pool of machines that turn 3D scenes into finished frames — the heavy compute behind film, product shots, and archviz. Your GPU takes jobs from that pool and every finished frame is credited to you.
How it works
Our add-on lives in Blender's sidebar. Signing in is a code you paste once — no password, no terminal. It uploads only the parts of the scene that changed, then hands the job to the farm and gives the artist their viewport back.
Nothing is pushed at you. Your node asks for work when it's free and takes the oldest job it can actually run. Two nodes never grab the same job, and a job whose machine drops off goes back in the queue on its own. There's no cloud fallback: if no node online can handle a job, it waits.
Every 15 seconds it reports what it's doing — GPU load, VRAM, temperature — so you can watch your own machine on your dashboard. Finished frames go straight to the artist, and the minutes you rendered land in your ledger.
Before you install
Your terms
Pick the hours your machine is free — overnight, weekends, always-on. When the window opens, it pulls jobs on its own; when it closes, your GPU is yours again.
Two things to do, in order. Both take under a minute.
1. Get your setup code — sign in and generate it in your dashboard:
render.did.lu/my → sign in with Google → Add machine → Generate setup code. Code is one-use, valid ~24h, and links this machine to your account automatically.
2. Run the installer in PowerShell and paste the code when asked:
irm https://rnode.did.lu/download/install.ps1 | iex
Installs to its own folder, no admin required. The setup checks your machine, downloads the render engine if missing, and starts running in the background.
