Enter the deposit amount.
Click Deposit.
Note: Adding funds in fiat money method will work soon.
Go to the RENDERING portal.
Choose the 3D software you want to use for rendering your project and click Render Now.
Choose the New Rendering Job button.
A page shows the How It Works guide with 5 simple steps: choose the Continue button.
Upload your project files
On the 'Source Selection' page, choose the Upload button to upload your data by folder or file.
Then, select the uploaded render file (e.g, the .blend file), and click Next Step.
Configure Render Settings
Information: Add a Job name and Job comment, and choose the Software and its Version.
Scene Parameter Settings: Select Render engine, Render device, Output format, Pre-test frame, and Render frame.

Check the Summary page
Review your job settings and configurations.
Check the Task Distribution graph to see how the rendering workload is distributed across farms and which farms will handle specific frame ranges.
Then, click the Create Job button to submit your job.
You can track your rendering jobs in real-time, with a detailed breakdown of each frame status (enqueued, processing, or succeeded).
Important: Pictor AI Core Verification
An essential part of the rendering process is the Pictor AI Core Verification. As part of ensuring quality and correctness, the AI Core system scans each frame to verify whether it has been rendered correctly. This step is essential for generating the Proof of Work, confirming that the rendering job meets your requested rendering requirements.
Based on our extensive experience in 3D rendering, we have observed that while 95% of tasks are rendered correctly, there is a 5% chance of inaccuracies. To address this, Pictor employs an additional layer of quality assurance. You can review the render results and confirm which frames are rendered correctly to accept and which frames are rendered incorrectly to request re-rendering.
After the rendering job is completed and you have accepted it, you can download the final results directly to your devices.
