Professional Blender rendering, without leaving Blender.
Install the add-on, submit your scene, and keep working. We match your Blender, render engine and add-on versions, check the file before upload, and send finished frames back to the output folder you already set.
See how our Blender render farm works
The demo shows the full Blender plugin workflow: checking the scene, collecting the required files, submitting the job, monitoring progress and downloading finished frames back to the output folder on your machine.
Built for your workflow
The plugin runs inside Blender, reads the scene as it is, and handles the parts that usually make farm submissions annoying: paths, linked assets, caches, plugins and downloads.
No project changes
The plugin reads your scene as-is. Assets, caches, linked files and render settings are resolved automatically before upload.
No leaving Blender
Submit, monitor and resubmit from inside Blender. Your workstation stays free while the farm handles the render.
No chasing output
Finished frames download to the output path you set in Blender. Downloads resume automatically when reopening the manager.

Where Drop & Render delivers
Supported Blender versions, engines and plugins
We support the versions, render engines, and plugins most production files rely on. The plugin detects your local setup so the farm can render with the same configuration.
One shared credit pool
Admins top up once and the whole team renders from the same balance. No per-seat fees or monthly minimums.
Shared assets, automatically
Files uploaded by one team member are available to the rest of the team for 7 days, so shared assets do not need to be uploaded twice.
Role-based permissions
Owner, Admin and Member roles keep submission approval, spending limits and job visibility separate.
5 TB studio storage included
Each studio account includes 5 TB of storage, expandable on request. Shared assets, caches and libraries are stored once and reused by the team.
Custom NDA on request
Sign our standard NDA before your first submission, or send us yours for review. Project files stay in the EU during rendering.
Fair, pay-as-you-go pricing
Choose Sapphire, Emerald or Diamond for each job depending on the deadline. Higher priorities move your job further ahead in the global queue, so it gathers machines faster when the farm is busy. The extra multiplier only applies when it actually speeds up your render; if machines are already available, even Diamond is billed at the Sapphire rate.
Large stills, split across the farm
Our platform allows you to render large still images across multiple machines, making the process as easy as rendering an image sequence. Simply enable the Tile Rendering option in our plugin, and we'll take care of the rest. Your still images will be rendered in record time, with no extra effort required.

Highlighted features
Our Blender render farm is built for professionals who need more than just raw power. From smart asset handling to custom pipeline integration, we’ve developed advanced tools that make your rendering faster, more reliable, and easier to manage.
Optimize your render with a Custom Slice Number
Using a custom slice number lets one machine render multiple frames while only initializing your project once, saving up to 30% in both render times and costs. Works especially well on faster renders!
Understanding render priorities
Our priority system has three levels: Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond. The higher the priority, the faster new machines can start working on your projects!
Connect your entire office to Drop & Render
We offer a robust system for a team of artists to work together. You can monitor and download one another's work efficiently, all without having to disturb them!
Submit a custom frame range to the farm
Only need to render a sequence of your project, or need to see a couple of specific frames? You can set custom frame lists from right within our plugin!
Powered by the latest hardware
A render farm is useful when it has enough machines available at the moment your deadline gets close. We run current-generation render nodes in our own Dutch datacenter, with typical jobs spreading across around 100 machines in parallel.
Hundreds of RTX 4090 and 5090s
Jobs run on a modern CPU and GPU fleet, with hardware selected for the renderer and version your scene uses.
Massively parallelized renders
Image sequences and task graphs are split across many machines at once, so deadline work is not waiting on one oversized workstation.
More capacity for urgent work
Higher priorities get first access to available machines and can gather around 300 nodes for a single job when the farm has room.
Hosted in the Netherlands
The render nodes are part of our own EU fleet. Our datacenter follows industry standard safety, security & redundancy policies.
