Unlimited nodes for free

Render times can be improved dramatically by having more computers contributing to rendering static images and animations. This is done transparently by installing and connecting our render node application to the main Thea Render integration. And even better, the render node application is free of charge, thus you can use all your spare machines to accelerate render results.

What is it?

Thea Node is an auxiliary utility software that makes it possible for any Thea integration to make use of every machine on the local network to accelerate rendering.

Unlimited Render Nodes! Free!

Thea Node can be downloaded for free and installed on any machine on the same network as the main Thea Render integration, immediately ready to contribute, accelerating your renders.

Easy to setup

Install Thea Node on the clients and let Thea Render integrations to take care of the rest.
Check the progress of each client from the integration interface.
Cross platform network rendering (client can run a different operating system that the integration)
