Using Praxilla as a designer for rendering is a streamlined process for our users:

1. Sign up: Begin by creating an account on our platform through our website and complete the registration.
2. Addon and Job Handler: After registration, download and install our Blender Addon and Praxilla Job Handler on your computer.
3. Configuration: The Addon will automatically detect settings from your Blend-File, ensuring your preferences are used for rendering.
4. Upload Your Project: Easily upload your project files for rendering using the Blender Addon, which seamlessly integrates with the Job Handler to distribute tasks across our network.
5. Monitor Progress: Keep an eye on the rendering progress through the Job Handler's interface.
6. Download Your Renders: Upon rendering completion, the Job Handler will automatically provide access to download high-quality images or animations of your project.

We provide support for a range of Blender versions, including 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x, 4.2.x and 4.3.x. Our support for Blender 4.3 is still in it's beta phase, we working continuously to improve it to fully meet your expectations. Our commitment is to stay current with Blender's releases, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and enhancements. Should you have any specific version-related requirements or inquiries about Blender compatibility, please don't hesitate to reach out, and we'll gladly assist you.

Rendering time is calculated in minutes per node that is actively rendering. For instance, if there are 12 nodes simultaneously rendering for 5 minutes each, this would count as 60 minutes (1 hour) of rendering time. Partial minutes, such as seconds, are not counted toward your rendering hours.

If you finish your rendering hours, you will be notified via the Job Handler. You will need to purchase additional hours to continue rendering. Your render will be paused. You will be able to download the frames that finished rendering so far.

Praxilla uses all types of NVIDIA GPUs in the 4000 and 3000 series for rendering. These GPUs are optimized to deliver high performance and speed for rendering tasks.

If you encounter any errors or failures during rendering, please contact our support team through the ticketing system for assistance. Our team will help resolve the issue promptly.

Rendering hours only account for the time the project is actively being rendered. Upload time, waiting time, and other preparatory steps are not included.

Praxilla does not enforce strict limits on project size or complexity. However, our fair use policy ensures system resources are shared fairly among users. Designers are limited to one active rendering job and one queued job per account. For exceptionally large projects, please consult our support team to confirm feasibility.

Currently, Praxilla's rendering platform is primarily tailored for Blender users. While we strive to expand our compatibility and offer support for more design software in the future, at present, our services are only suited for Blender projects.

Praxilla supports a wide range of file formats for uploading your 3D design projects, encompassing all formats that Blender itself supports. This flexibility allows you to upload your projects in various formats commonly used in the 3D design industry, ensuring compatibility and convenience when rendering your work on our platform.

Setting up and configuring your hardware for hosting on Praxilla's platform is a straightforward process:

1. Application Process: After you have applied to become a host and received confirmation from us, you will gain access to your account on our website.
2. Download Host Software: Within your account, you can download the host software provided by Praxilla.
3. Installation: Install the host software on your hardware following the provided instructions.
4. Execution: Run the host software. Once it's up and running, your hardware is ready to contribute to the rendering network.
5. Uninterrupted Operation: To ensure the smooth rendering process, avoid interrupting the rendering tasks or turning off your PC while it's actively participating in rendering jobs.

By following these steps, you can easily set up and configure your hardware to host on Praxilla's platform, contributing to the distributed rendering network and earning as a host.

Yes, Hosts are paid for up to 10 rendering hours per day, capped at 250 hours per month.

You can monitor hardware performance using tools such as:

1. CPU-Z: For CPU performance, including clock speed and core usage.
2. GPU-Z: For GPU performance, including temperature and clock speeds.
3. Windows Task Manager: For real-time insights into CPU, memory, disk, and network usage.

Praxilla centrally manages rendering task assignments to ensure efficient distribution and timely project completion. Hosts do not have access to the files being rendered.

Praxilla implements robust security measures for hosting activities:

1. Automated File Handling: Fully automated processes reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
2. File Validation: Advanced filters and checks verify file integrity and block suspicious files.

These measures ensure your hardware and data remain secure while hosting on our platform.
