KeyShot Render Farm FAQ

If you have questions or just want to check information, we listed all frequently asked questions regarding our render farm in our FAQ.

General Render Farm Questions

1What are RenderPoints?

RenderPoints are the currency you pay all your renderings in at AlphaRender. We measure the rendering power in GHz (CPU) at the render farm and debit the appropriate amount of RenderPoints from your account. You have to purchase RenderPoints before you can start a render job. To buy RenderPoints log in to your account and go to Payments.

2What is GHz hour?

If one P4 CPU of 1 core and 1 GHz renders for 1 hour, that equals 1 GHz hour at our render farm.

3Why do I have a watermark on my output?

If you use your free trial RenderPoints to render, your output will have a watermark. After purchasing at least 10 RenderPoints (just for the first payment) the Cloud application will restart your download automatically and you receive your output without the watermark from our render farm. Afterward, all your renderings will be without the watermark right away.
