How to Render on Pictor Network - Decentralized GPU Aggregator Network

“Your scene is ready. Now render it with real decentralized GPU power on Pictor Network.”

Intro: Start Rendering Smarter, Not Harder

Rendering should feel like the creative finish line, not a technical roadblock. But for many artists, long queues, locked-down platforms, and unpredictable costs still make it harder than it should be.

With Pictor Network, you get a faster, more flexible, and affordable way to bring your work to life, powered by a high-performance decentralized GPU network.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through every step: uploading your scene, configuring your job, and downloading the final result. Whether it’s your first render or your hundredth, this guide will get you started fast.

Let’s dive in.

Important: Pictor AI Core Verification

An essential part of the rendering process is the Pictor AI Core Verification. As part of ensuring quality and correctness, the AI Core system scans each frame to verify whether it has been rendered correctly. This step is essential for generating the Proof of Work, confirming that the rendering job meets your requested rendering requirements.

Review Results

Based on our extensive experience in 3D rendering, we have observed that while 95% of tasks are rendered correctly, there is a 5% chance of inaccuracies. To address this, Pictor employs an additional layer of quality assurance. You can review the render results and confirm which frames are rendered correctly to accept and which frames are rendered incorrectly to request re-rendering.
