Bringing your 3D projects to life with high-quality renders shouldn’t be complicated or stressful. That’s why BoltRenders was built—to make rendering fast, easy, and reliable for creators like you. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, from uploading your project to initiating the render. By the end, you’ll see just how effortless it is to turn your vision into reality.
The first step in rendering your project is reaching the render page. If you’re already a registered user, simply log in to your dashboard and click the "+ Render" button. It’s standing proud at the top of the dashboard, ready to take you into the heart of the rendering process.
For new or unregistered users, there’s no need to worry. You can access the render page directly from our homepage without logging in. While registration is optional at first, creating an account later unlocks useful features like project tracking and streamlined rendering.
As simply as that, you can either click anywhere on the page to select your file or drag and drop it directly from your computer.
Our platform accepts .blend files and .zip archives containing Blender projects and their assets. If you’re uploading a .zip with multiple .blend files, don’t worry—our system will prompt you to choose the main file for rendering. This way, you maintain control over which scene gets processed while ensuring that all associated assets are correctly handled.
The moment your file is successfully uploaded, the evaluation process begins automatically. No complicated steps, no unnecessary delays.
Once the upload is complete, BoltRenders gets straight to work evaluating your project. This process usually takes between 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity and size of your file.
If you’re a registered user, you’ll find the project added to your dashboard with a “Processing” status. From there, you can check back later or wait for an email notification to let you know the evaluation is complete.
Unregistered users can stay on the upload page to watch for results or leave their email address to be notified when the evaluation is done. Either way, the process is seamless, keeping you informed at every step.
Once the evaluation is finished, you’ll be redirected to the render page, where all the important details of your project are presented. This includes:
Our time estimates are intended with a ±15% time margin, providing you with a clear expectation of the rendering duration. This transparency ensures you always stay in control, knowing exactly what to expect before you commit.
After reviewing the details of your project, it’s time to select how quickly you’d like your render to be completed. We offer three priority levels to match your budget and timeline:
Just click on the respective card to tailor the rendering process to your specific needs, whether you’re on a tight deadline or simply optimizing costs.
Once you’ve chosen your priority level, it’s time to start the rendering process. With a single click on the Start Render button, you’ll be prompted to confirm your payment.
For registered users, we provide two convenient payment methods:
You can toggle a checkbox to decide whether to use your balance first or pay entirely with your card. Note that only registered users can initiate renders—if you’re not logged in, you’ll be prompted to create an account before proceeding.
Once the payment is confirmed, the rendering process begins automatically, and you’ll receive an email confirmation.
After initiating the render, your project will enter the “Initializing” phase. Within minutes, it will transition to “Rendering,” and you can monitor its progress right from your dashboard.
Our platform keeps you informed throughout the process, so you always know where your project stands. Whether you’re rendering a short animation or a complex scene, you can trust BoltRenders to handle the heavy lifting while you focus on your creative work.
At BoltRenders, we’re committed to making rendering as simple and transparent as possible. From our user-friendly interface to our precise cost estimates and flexible priority options, we’ve designed every aspect of our platform to prioritize your convenience and creativity.
