During our Testnet, only Blender rendering jobs are supported.

To receive render tasks assigned from the network, your Worker must have Blender installed.

Go to the Settings tab to check if Blender is already detected on your device. If it isn’t, simply scroll down, select one of the suggested Blender versions, and follow the instructions to install it.

Process Job

When you have successfully connected the Worker app on your device and keep it running, your device will be shown as an Online Worker on the Pictor network. Online workers will be chosen to distribute the rendering jobs from the network.

Once a rendering job is distributed to your Worker, it will:

  • First, download the job data

  • Then, perform the job

Once the job is completed, it will be sent to the Creator. The Worker will be rewarded..
