One of the most interesting things you can find on 3S Cloud Render Farm is Free Preview Render. This feature supports you in testing render outputs before rendering.
As for how it works, our render farm will render one frame at a small size and then will give you a preview image for checking the render outputs along with an estimate of render time and cost. It is free.
This is the feature you can get for free after having an account. You just need to upload your project to our render farm and render a preview. Let’s check on “Free Preview Render” before submitting a render job to apply this feature.
Let’s follow the following steps:
- Click the Launch Render button on the Dashboard Screen
