The output image types that you are able to download by rendering in Chaos Cloud are JPG and the file type you have specified in the settings of your scene. These settings are customized in the 3D application you use for designing your scene. If you don’t specify anything in the 3D application, Chaos Cloud rendering generates an EXR image beside the JPG one.

If you have enabled the Include additional JPG output toggle in the Options page, Chaos Cloud rendering generates an additional high-quality JPG file for your output at no extra cost. * - see the Known Issues section for a disclaimer.

When submitting a render job requesting TIFF and/or TGA images as a result, the results might be unexpected as not all TIFF and TGA settings are exported to Chaos Cloud rendering.

When rendering animations, Frame Range and Frame Step parameters appear.

Frame range – Specifies a frame range to be rendered. You can specify non-sequential animation frames, e.g. 1-3,7,9,12-15.

Frame step – Specifies a frame step in the frame range for rendering. For example, writing 8 in the Frame step box will render every eighth frame, hence the eighth, the sixteenth, the twenty-fourth, etc. Note that the first frame is always rendered.

The cost for rendering a still image job can be limited by using the Job Credit Limit setting. For more information, see the Credit Limit section. 

By enabling the Upload only option, the job is uploaded to Chaos Cloud rendering, but it stays Paused until manually resumed.

The Chaos Scans material library is hosted in Chaos Cloud rendering and is kept up-to-date. This means that Chaos Scans materials do not have to be uploaded each time, making scene submission significantly faster.

When ready, click the Submit button. When you are presented with the following message, your render job is submitted successfully, and it will start rendering in the cloud. If there are available resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud will start rendering immediately.

Otherwise, your job will join a queue and will automatically start to render when resources become available.

Image Added

Clicking on View Job redirects you to the Projects tab of Chaos Cloud. There you can monitor the status of your render jobs, download them, organize them in projects, resubmit, or delete them. For more detailed information on these topics, see the Managing render jobs in Chaos Cloud page.

Known Issues

When the Include additional JPG output option is disabled, this is not reflected in the Submit and Clone job screens. This does not mean that the option is still active. This is a known issue which will be fixed.

Render Engine Overrides

When rendering a V-Ray GPU job, the CUDA CPU Override option allows you to override the render engine to render with CUDA on CPU only. This can be useful when:

• there is no GPU hardware available to render the V-Ray GPU job
• the 16 GB of memory, available on the GPU hardware that Chaos Cloud rendering uses are not enough for the job to render

When Chaos Cloud rendering detects that there is no GPU hardware available, it shows a warning that asks you whether you want to wait for GPU hardware and gives you an option to use another command which:

• Stops the rendering of the current job
• Clones the current job and sets the CUDA CPU Override option to ON so the job renders only on CPU

Output Naming Convention

Upon job submission, you can choose the naming convention of the output file(s). You can find the following options in the Output naming panel:

<name> – Specifies the main name of the output.

<render element> – Specifies the position of the render element(s) in the naming convention, if there are such.

<###> – Specifies the padding of the frame's number. This option is available only for animated jobs.

Using the arrows, you can move the position of each name component to customize the output name(s)If there are free resources in the cloud, Chaos Cloud will start rendering your job immediately. If there are no free resources, your job will join a queue and will start rendering automatically when resources become available.

This method only works if the Chaos Cloud Client App client app is the default application associated with .vrscene files. If you can't see the command, it might be because some other software is set as the default one.
