Renderwow FAQ

Can I ask for a reimbursement if I cannot get a good job result after using Renderwow?

Well, it depends. If you cannot get a good job result due to the model, texture, rendering parameters, etc of your job after using Renderwow, we will not refund you; but if there is incorrect job result from Renderwow, we can refund you for your Renderwow account. However, please be noted that once you refill your Renderwow account, any refills cannot be refunded by cash.

No, but will hopefully be coming soon.

You could setup animation as the same way as your local rendering. And then click Renderwow render button.

The methods of how to solve the problem of log in.

1.Please restart your client and check the “network acceleration” and also choose your location when you log in again. Then, try to submit a job.

If it still doesn’t work, you can only try to use it after you network environment is stable.

2.Please clean up the DNS cache and change the gateway.

We use DHCP and router uses 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 as DNS gateway like this:

The way to clean up the DNS cache is to run ipconfig/flushdns in your computer.

I signed up today and already installed the program, but I cannot use the program, because "client cannot connect to server." Can you help me?

Normally it is caused by network issues like DNS servers or unstable network conditions. You could try the following methods, and if it still doesn’t work. Please let us know as soon as you can and send us the scc.log file that can be found in the image below:

If I shut down my computer while the renders are on the Renderwow cloud will they still be there when I turn it back on?

Yes, once your submitted jobs show their status as being queuing or rendering in the cloud. At this time, the rendering/renderings are not related to your computer, so you can shut down your computer.

My job cannot be downloaded?

You can try to choose the job and click the start download. If it’s still not working, please send us your job information and the screenshot to: support@renderwow so we may help you out.

Note: Our official website can also download the results. As shown below, logging in to the official website, the results can be downloaded from the bill.

My renders are rendering very slowly, is it possible to speed up my renders?

For single image, you could use distributed rendering to speed up your renders. Each server has 16 threads. If you use distributed rendering with 10 servers, it will be 160 threads in total.

For animation rendering, the maximum servers for one job is 10 servers (when one frame is finished and downloaded, you can open full speed on the client). If you need more, please let us know by contacting us at: support@renderwow.com

Note: Distributed rendering charges are high, but still enjoy the event of Maximum charging $10 for big size still image.

For animation, open full speed on the client will not affect the charge of your job.

The cost of animation rendering is the sum of all single frame fees. Adding machines is just to make more frames render at the same time, reducing overall time.

What is a gift card and how to use the it?

The gift card is a kind of coupon, which can be used for the cost of task rendering. Gift card is automatically used when it is given to your account, and you don’t need to operate it by yourself.

Note:In the case of gift card, the balance in the gift card will be deducted preferentially. When the balance in the gift card is used up, the balance in your account will be deducted. No operation is required. The rendering amount of your account will be frozen during rendering, and the fee will be deducted from the gift card after rendering. You can record the balance of your account before submitting the task and check it again after rendering.

Each gift card has its duration and type. The detailed information can be seen on the website.
