4. Create machine

The machine in the Machine GPU section stores your working environment (installed software and saved data) in our cloud system. Chip Render provides single to multiple GPU servers. Depending on your demand regarding the purpose of 3D rendering or AI training, the use of software & plugins, and the project scale, you should choose the suitable server package.

1. Now, go to Machine GPU section > Create machine.

Chip Render Farm - Quickstart - Create Machine 1

2. Select a configuration package you want to use and click the Continue button.

Chip Render Farm - Quickstart - Create machine 2

3. Name your machine, choose the OS type and click the Confirm button.

Chip Render Farm - Quickstart - Create machine 3

5. Boot a machine

After creating a new machine, click “Boot” > “Boot Machine” and wait a few minutes.

Chip Render - Boot Machine

Typically, it takes around 10-15 minutes to boot a machine. The time it takes to boot is dependent on the size of the machine, which includes everything you have on your server such as installed software, saved data, and so on. The more data you have on the machine, the longer it will take to start.

6. Connect to the remote machine

After your machine is booted successfully, your user interface will appear with a CONNECT icon (our system starts charging you from this step).

You should click CONNECT to connect to our remote server immediately.

Chip Render Farm - Quickstart - Connect system

This is the screen display after you click the Connect icon, the most potent gateway will always appear as default.

A tip for you to automatically connect to the best gateway by go to the setting icon beside your avatar and check to check box “Automatically connect to the best remote desktop gateway.”

Here you are! You’re on our remote server! You will take complete control of it, using it is the same as using your PC. As we suggest, you can install any software you want on this remote server and install it ONLY ONCE. Your working environment will be saved after each session of use. Therefore, you won’t have to re-install anything the next time you use it.

Now, set up your working environment (installing software and transferring your personal licenses) and start rendering.

All the uploaded files to our Chip Render App app will be on the (Z:) drive. However, Z is just a network/virtual drive for transferring files. Working directly on this drive can cause problems. Therefore, you will have to copy all of the files to the hard drive (Desktop/C:), then do everything (installing software, opening project files, saving output, and rendering) for stable rendering and avoiding network-related issues.

Tips: To ensure your software license is safe, deactivate your license key when you finish rendering and stop using our server.

7. Shutdown the machine

After rendering on the server, move your result files from C: drive/Desktop to the OUTPUT (Y:) drive. These files will be synced to the Y drive in Transfer Data tab.

In this step, Chip Render allows you 2 options for you to shut down the remote server: normal shutdown and scheduled shutdown.

  • Normal shutdown: You press the red Shutdown button on the machine to stop our system from charging.

  • Schedule shutdown: If you want to shut down your remote server at a specific time, click the “Scheduler” to schedule the shutdown time. Read more here.
