• [Introduction](https://app.theneo.io/fluxrender/doc/introduction-copy.md): Render Workflow Overview : The standard rendering process in FluxRender includes: Upload your project files to LucidLink Start a test render Review the output Launch the full render Download the final rendered files FluxRender automatically analyses project files before rendering to ensure all required assets and settings are properly configured. Introduction FAQ : What is FluxRender? FluxRender is a cloud rendering platform that allows users to upload 3D projects and render them using high-performance cloud machines. Will my project and renders be secure on FluxRender? Yes, absolutely. FluxRender uses secure cloud infrastructure and industry-standard storage solutions to help keep your project files and rendered outputs secure. We use LucidLink for storing project data, which follows security and compliance standards, including: SOC 2 compliance TPN compliance GDPR compliance Your project files are securely stored and managed throughout the rendering workflow. What is a test render? A test render is a preview render used to verify project settings, textures, lighting, and output quality before starting the full render. Is Test Render chargeable? No, test rendering is completely free. Charges will only apply when you proceed with the final render. Why does my project go into “Analysing” status? During the analysis stage, FluxRender checks your project files, plugins, textures, assets, and render settings before rendering starts. What happens after the test render is completed? After reviewing the test render output, you can proceed with the full render process if the result matches your expected visual output. What is the difference between test render and Active render? Test render renders preview frames for verification of output. Active render renders the complete project on multiple render nodes. What is consume history? Consume history shows the render consumption details for all scenes processed on FluxRender. What is transaction history? Transaction history displays all payment transactions made on FluxRender and allows you to download receipts. Can I download my rendered files anytime? Yes. Once rendering is completed, your rendered output files will be available for download for 14 days . After that, the files will be automatically deleted from the server. If you need additional storage time, please contact the support team. What if my software, render engine, or plugin is not listed? If your software, render engine, or plugin is not listed on FluxRender, kindly contact the support team. Our team can specially configure the required environment and setup to help complete your project successfully. If I am away from my system, how will I know my render is ready? FluxRender sends notifications through both email and the application once your render is completed, so you can stay updated even when you are away from your system.
