Fxrender plans explained: Free 15 min, Pro 2.5h, Gold 6h, Diamond 40h

Fxrender is GPU cloud rendering built for Blender. Upload a .blend or zip, render on real NVIDIA GPUs, and download stills or a movie.

This post is a plain-English guide to the plans and what each one is for.

What every plan includes

Across plans you get:

  • Cycles and Eevee
  • Private storage for project files and outputs
  • Output formats like PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, EXR
  • Free MP4 encode after your stills are ready (no extra GPU time for the encode)
  • Support for recent Blender versions (4.2 · 4.5 · 5.0)
  • Live logs, with time billed from Blender frame timing

No software install. No hardware to buy.

The plans (render time)

PlanRender timeBest for
Free15 minutesFirst test frames, pipeline check, "does my pack upload cleanly?"
Pro2.5 hoursShort shots, product stills, small animation tests
Gold6 hoursHeavier Cycles jobs, short films, client delivery crunch
Diamond40 hoursSeries work, long animations, recurring production

You buy hours, not licenses. Storage stays with the pack so you can re-render without re-uploading everything.

How to choose quickly

Pick Free if you have never used a farm before. Confirm textures, version, samples, and output format on a real GPU.

Pick Pro if you already know the look and need a few hours of serious GPU time.

Pick Gold when overnight local renders are eating your week.

Pick Diamond when rendering is part of the schedule every week, not a one-off panic.

Cycles + Eevee on one farm

A lot of Blender farms are Cycles-only. Fxrender supports both Cycles and Eevee, so you can keep lookdev and finals in one place when that matches your pipeline.

Pricing posture

We built Fxrender to be affordable for indie artists and small teams — about 60% cheaper than typical render farms on our positioning, with packs bringing effective cost down further versus running everything at the base hourly rate.

Always check fxrender.com for the live estimator and current pack details.

Suggested first workflow

  1. Pack your .blend cleanly (relative paths, no missing textures)
  2. Start on Free (15 min) and render a test frame
  3. If the look is right, move to Pro / Gold / Diamond for the full range
  4. Encode MP4 when stills are done (free)
