Get Started
A step-by-step guide to contribute GPUs on Pictor Network during our Testnet
rkers can join the Pictor network through just a few simple steps:
Create Pictor Account
Visit testnet.pictor.network and sign in with your Google account or by connecting to a crypto wallet.

Install Worker App
Navigate to the My Nodes section and download the Pictor Worker App.

Run the downloaded Pictor Worker Setup file and follow the instructions to install the app.



Create New Worker
Go back to the testnet portal, and
Create Worker

In the "Create New Worker' page, fill in the Worker information (Worker name) as you want.
Note: Mining is the upcoming feature and will only be available on Workers running NVIDIA GPU(s).

Click the
Create Worker
button to finish creating.
Configure Worker
Download the Worker’s config file (each Worker has a unique config file; make sure you download the right one).

Open the Worker app and import the downloaded config file.

After connecting successfully, the app will show your Worker status as Connected, like this:

Install Blender
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.

Notes: To ensure rendering works properly, make sure your GPU has the correct and up-to-date driver installed. Select the correct driver for your GPU model 👇
👉 NVIDIA (Studio drivers): https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/
👉 AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html
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..
Mining Coin (when not processing jobs)
Notes:
The mining feature is under development.
Mining is only active when you are not processing a computing job. It will automatically stop once a job is assigned to you.
Only GPU Workers using NVIDIA GPUs can enable this feature.
