Since launching RenderStreet, we knew the render previews are an essential part of what we want to offer. At first, the solution we found was a thumbnail of the rendered image in the job view page which shows the last frame that was fully rendered. After implementing the thumbnail, we added real-time previews that work well for still images. They show a preview of the rendered image, as shown by Blender, while rendering. Now we’re taking it to the next level.
Up until now, the only way to see the progress of animations was to check the last frame that was rendered. You couldn’t check how the animation is turning out, unless the whole rendering was done or you downloaded the frames.
We thus set out to implement a new video preview feature, that allows you to see what has been rendered so far in the animation. The video gets updated as more frames become available, with just a few minutes behind the last frame rendered.
As of today, you’ll be able to see the preview of your next animation being rendered. I’d love to know how this works for you in the comments below or by email. Thank you!
