Your renders shouldn't cost you time waiting for them. GridMarkets plugs your Cycles workloads into hundreds of cloud CPU and GPU nodes, so a scene that would tie up your machine for a weekend comes back before your coffee's cold.
Using Blender on GridMarkets
Volumetrics, hair, cloth sims, dense Cycles sampling
​
The scenes that make Blender exciting are also the ones that bring a single machine to its knees. GridMarkets spreads that load across the farm so simulation-heavy or high-sample final frames stop being an overnight gamble.
​
GridMarkets supports all Blender LTS versions starting with v3.0, so your renders match what you see locally.
If you can render locally, you already know how to submit to the farm. There's no separate tool to learn and no pipeline to rebuild around it. Queue-up & prioritise several shots at once instead of babysitting one render at a time. Frames are returned as they finish in your output folder.

Select the number of CPU or GPU machines you need to fit your budget and timeline.

Platform Features
Submit your renders directly from Blender using the GridMarkets add-on
Choose the hardware that best suits your render, not whatever happens to be free
Same app, same interface
CPU and GPU nodes
External files, linked libraries, and textures get bundled automatically, so you can skip the asset hunt and avoid broken paths before you hit submit.
Packed and ready
Your assets stay on GridMarkets, so when you update your scene, you only need to upload the changed files.
Upload once, iterate fast
Encrypted end-to-end
Your project files are secured in transit and at rest, and never shared across accounts.
Budget-aware
Set a spending limit for each job, so even ambitious renders stay within the budget you choose.
Real people on support
The engineers who maintain the add-on are the ones who answer when a submission fails.
Support Philosophy
Community software, backed by real people
Blender's ecosystem is built around people helping people, from forums and tutorials to add-ons created by artists for artists. You shouldn't need to be a cloud-rendering expert to get your project rendered. Our support team is here to help with setup, submissions, troubleshooting, and anything that gets in the way.
"Your Blender projects can be as ambitious as you want. Our job is to help turn them into finished renders."
— GridMarkets
Match your environment
Same Blender build, so we're debugging your actual scene, not a guess at it.
Find the real cause
Dependency issues, driver mismatches, and sim cache problems rarely announce themselves clearly, we dig until we find the actual one.
We stay on it until your frames are delivered
The ticket doesn't close because we found a workaround. It closes when your results are actually in your hands.
Tutorial
How to submit Blender renders to GridMarkets
This walkthrough covers installing the GridMarkets Blender add-on, prepping your scene for submission, and tracking your job through Envoy from first upload to final frame. Built for Blender artists who'd rather spend their time in the viewport than in a render queue.

What artists say
Josiah Reeves
CEO, Occlusion VFX
Fast rendering at a reasonable price. The setup is quick and easy and the customer support is very helpful! We wouldn't have been able to complete this job on schedule without GridMarkets.
This was actually the first job I rendered on GridMarkets. Their student deal made it affordable for me to produce it for the project and the quick turn around meant we had the piece in time for the deadline.
Juan Iturbe
GridMarkets allows me to produce work way beyond my hardware capacity, allowing me to take in more complex projects I would never think of tackling alone. With a solid cloud service backing me up I can take in more work, produce better quality and never say no because I don't have the machine power.
