Blender Cloud Workstation — Cycles rendering on a rented RTX GPU

Blender is free, so the GPU is the only thing between you and a fast Cycles render. You can rent one by the minute instead of buying it, and Blender is already installed on every Coreframe workstation.

Why rent a GPU for this.

Blender is preinstalled and ready, with nothing to license or configure.
Cycles GPU rendering on an RTX card, with the VRAM that heavy scenes need.
Keep working on your own machine while the render runs on the rented one.
It's free and open source, so there's no licence to bring.

What our customers say

Blender and After Effects all day, often for two clients at once. On Coreframe, 64 GB of RAM keeps long After Effects comps smooth, and Blender renders finish far sooner than on my laptop. It costs more than a basic cloud VM, but a basic VM can't run this.

Sai

Motion designer · Blender & After Effects

As a freelancer I can't justify a workstation that sits idle between projects. When a Twinmotion job comes in, I open an RTX 5080 on Coreframe and stop paying the moment I close it. My files wait on my Coreframe drive, so I pick up right where I left off.

Dinesh

Freelance visualiser · Twinmotion

I test heavy Unreal levels and walk scenes in Twinmotion. The 16 GB card on Coreframe loads what my own machine couldn't, and it streams to my laptop in 4K.

Avi

Game tester · Unreal Engine & Twinmotion

Before Coreframe I did all of this on an RTX 3060 at home, cutting textures down just to make big projects fit. Now I open an RTX 5080 when a test pass needs it, and per-minute billing means short sessions cost what they should.

Srini

Game developer & tester

I'm based in Singapore and paid with my international card: no paperwork, just an email and a mobile number. On Coreframe I build comps in After Effects and run my FFmpeg batch encodes on the same machine, then pull the finished files down. One proper Windows workstation for the whole job.

What Blender costs per hour here.

One price per GPU-hour, in US dollars; you pick the GPU when you launch. Blender is already on the machine, so no paid minutes go on installing it.

Billed per minute from when you connect, not per whole hour. Preparing the workstation and uploads are free. If you don't connect within 10 minutes of your workstation being ready, it shuts down and those 10 minutes are charged. If a connection fails on our side, nothing is charged. Full pricing.

How Blender runs here: measured, not quoted.

The figures below were measured on our own workstation, with the GPU and date beside each one. Your scene and settings will differ; these are the reference runs.

Questions.

Is Blender preinstalled on Coreframe workstations?

Yes. Blender is free and open source, so we install it on the standard image. It is ready the moment your desktop appears, with no licence or sign-in required.

Can I use Cycles GPU rendering?

Yes. The workstation has an NVIDIA RTX GPU with the Studio driver installed, so Cycles GPU rendering works out of the box.

Where should I keep my .blend files?

Every session starts from an identical clean machine, so anything you install during a session is removed when it ends. Your project files live on NAS storage, which persists between sessions. That reset is how we make sure nothing from another customer's work, or yours, is left on the machine. It matters when a project is under NDA.

How much does a Coreframe workstation cost?

Ad-hoc sessions are $1.49 per GPU-hour, billed per minute from when you connect, not per whole hour. Preparing the workstation and uploads are free. If you don't connect within 10 minutes of your workstation being ready, it shuts down and those 10 minutes are charged. If a connection fails on our side, nothing is charged. Committed monthly plans start at $70.99/month and bill extra hours below the ad-hoc rate at every tier: $1.99/hr on Small Team, $0.99/hr on Medium Team. Prices in US dollars carry no GST (export of services), and the invoice is in US dollars.

Is there an offer for new customers?

Yes. Your first top-up of $20 (no GST) buys 8 hours on an RTX 5080 (or about 18 hours on the RTX A4000, 12 on the RTX A5000), to use within 30 days, one per customer. You sign up with an email and a WhatsApp code to your mobile, with no ID documents, and international cards work. We won't say what you can finish in that time, because it depends entirely on your scene.
