Items | Local Rendering | Dedicated GPU Server | Cloud Render Farm |
---|---|---|---|
Device Dependency | Dependence on local hardware, high upgrade costs | No local restrictions, remote access, powerful hardware | Remote operation, automatic hardware matching |
Performance stability | Performance is limited by PC configuration | Exclusive high-performance GPU, controllable resources | Shared resources, there may be queues during rendering |
Cost Structure | Large one-time investment + long-term maintenance costs | Monthly/yearly rental, long-term rendering is more cost-effective | Billed by the hour, flexible in the short term but with high cost fluctuations |
Flexibility and control | Strong control, limited by local resources | Fully control the environment, supporting customized systems and software | Rendering environments are usually closed, limited to specific plugins and versions |
Multi-user parallel rendering support | Not supported | Support multi-instance/parallel rendering | Supports high concurrency (but resource competition) |
Data Privacy and Security | High security | Autonomous data upload and encrypted transmission | Data needs to be uploaded to a third party, which poses a high privacy risk |
Rendering knowledge threshold | Beginners just need to get familiar with the tools | Basic remote usage knowledge required | Easy to use, suitable for non-technical users |
Scene support (large, animated) | Limited by video memory and local resources | Optional high video memory (such as A6000 / 4090 / multiple GPUs) to support complex tasks | Most platforms support large scenes, but extra-large tasks require additional fees |
Rendering wait time | Local exclusive, slow but stable | Stable and fast, can be mounted for a long time | Fast but may be queued or delayed due to resource scheduling |
Plugin & custom script support | Fully supported | Supports custom deployment (such as installing specific rendering plugins) | Usually limited plugin types, slow update cycles |
Network Dependency | No reliance on the Internet | Network access must be stable | Highly dependent on the network, slow upload process |
