Service
Render Farm Services.
XO3D provides high-capacity render compute for studios producing large-scale 3D work, batch images, sequences and complex frames at speed.

Compute capacity for studios producing at scale.
XO3D's render compute supports large-scale 3D rendering projects, colourway batches, animation sequences and complex frames with high sample counts.
Do you have an approved scene and need frames? Then the question is compute: whether your scene, renderer and output can be handled, and by when. Tell us about the scene so we can scope it. We confirm compatibility for each scene before accepting a job, and a dedicated render-farm provider may also suit.
Do you need a product story, model or creative direction? That is production, not compute. See how to plan a product CGI film, or 3D product rendering if you need finished stills. Not sure which applies? Choose a studio or render farm with our guide.
Where a scene still needs work before it can render, technical CGI covers mechanisms and engineering detail, and a Master Asset Build prepares one model for many outputs. The AUAR film shown further down is XO3D's own film production. It is not an example of a compute-only job for another studio.
Why it works
Why brands use managed render farm capacity.
Batch at scale.
Thousands of images saved out without compromising on quality, colourways, variants, language localisations.
Fast turnaround.
Parallel compute means tight deadlines get hit even on render-heavy projects.
Built for production workloads.
Common applications and renderers include Cinema 4D, Blender, KeyShot, V-Ray, Redshift and Octane. We confirm compatibility for each submitted scene, including versions and plugins, before accepting a job.
What we deliver
Scope the right outputs.
Batch Image Rendering
Render thousands of product variants, colourways, sizes, configurations, at consistent quality.
Animation Sequences
Frame-by-frame render of long-form animation with complex lighting and simulation.
Complex Single Frames
High-sample, high-resolution single frames for hero stills, campaign work and large-format print.
Process
Our managed render farm capacity process.
- 01
Share the brief.
Tell us the scope, scene files, output format, deadline.
- 02
Define the workflow.
We agree the renderer, settings, output format and turnaround.
- 03
Render and review.
Frames produced, sampled and reviewed before final batch.
- 04
Final delivery.
Files delivered in required format, sequences, batches, single frames.
Scene readiness
What to tell us about the scene.
Application and version.
The 3D application and its exact version, and the operating system the scene was built on.
Renderer and plugins.
The render engine and its version, plus every plugin the scene relies on.
Output.
Resolution, file format, bit depth and any passes or layers you need.
Frames and camera.
The frame range and the camera or cameras to render.
Colour management.
The colour space and view transform the scene uses, so frames match what you approved.
Linked files.
Textures, caches, simulations, fonts and any other assets the scene loads, collected with the scene.
Deadline and reference.
When you need the frames, and an approved reference frame to compare against.
Permission.
Can you share these files with a third party under your client agreement? Tell us about any conditions before you send them.
FAQ
Common questions, answered.
What information does a scene handoff need?
What if we also need creative production?
Why might the same frame look different on another machine?
How is timing agreed?
Can I use the render farm for my own scenes?
Your next project
Separate rendering from creative production.
If you already have approved scenes and only need computation, a render-farm provider may be the relevant route. XO3D's product-film programme begins earlier, with the story, asset and creative decisions.
A route to consider
Product CGI Films
A product film developed through creative treatment, storyboard, animatic, product review and final picture and sound.
Bring these three things.
- Are production scenes already approved?
- Is creative direction still needed?
- What needs to be delivered?
Start with an outline. We review the product, intended outputs and timing before agreeing the production scope.
