Polargrid free CPU rendering
PolarGriD writes:
This free program is for Blender Artists who have great ideas but no render resources. Polargrid is supporting the Blender Community with this offering. We see this as an investment into the Blender community. The only limitation is the resolution of your output images; The free service is limited to a frame size of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Your projects will render on incredibly fast GIGABYTE AMD EPYC ROME 7642 48Core Blade Systems. Much faster and more reliable than any other free or paid CPU Blender cloud service. The machines run on green energy in our new Datacenter in Boden, Sweden.

Here is a short manual:

A tutorial wont help much if the addon wont install at all. But thanks.
read the manual
I installed the add-on – activated it requested the token, entered the token and am rendering now !
after entering the token how can i use it to render
do to render property
switch to cycles
then you will see the PolarGird appear
render resolution is limited – but via AI upscale and sharpening one could get bigger one
I have installed it as an Add on and got an error message, so it is not working.
Are there any Install or usage instructions?

Don’t work in 2.93 3.0…
doesn’t work in Blender 3.0 either.
yes it does – read the manual and pay attention to how the UI changes when clicking the buttons in the add-on preferences
Sorry, Which Add-on preferences?
there are no Add-on preferences for me, at all
I am using Blender 3.0
Here is a short manual:

whats the error(s) appearing, anyone paste ?
Awesome!Thank you, very much!
Oops, the manual seems meant for an Old Blender version
in Blender 3.0, there is no email or Token request field.
if you turn on the plugin, gives you a huge exception error message.
Greate! Thanks!

I have tried it. Really cool. I just hope It’s always support the lastest alpha version of blender but I may never happen

plug-in works
read the manual
follow the steps after the initial error message (read it !!!)
follow the manual
IT WORKS !
Nope ! No Add on preferences showing for me at all !!! in Blender 3.0.
When I turn on the Add on , I get a Bible size error message , and instalation therefore can’t be successful.
Thanks anyway.
for me, the plugin doesn’t work
Please stop posting same comment. The error for me is not when installing the addon or requesting the token.
Here’s the console message:

You are Welcome .
Hopefully, the manual will be updated or someone will give us support
, my error message is similar.
We are checking all posted issues with the coder. Stay tuned :)

Great, thank you !!
The comment on the programmer to the error message is this;
Think the user has a different add-on installed that conflicts with ours (blender_asset_tracer is an older version). Would advise to disable blend file compression or try disabling other add-ons.
Thanks, I had to delete the addon (temporarily, because I need it)
is this working for someone ?
I can upload a job but then when trying to access the jobs-website i just land at a blank site. Is there any trick or is it just not working currently?
i even never seen it in cpu cycles menu
i no pro i just wanted to test but i failed at both, the plugin and the ‘i cant use blender’ interface
peace
Its all working fine Please recheck
i just tried again .. no luck. I land on the same white page as before. I changed default browser from Safari to Opera and i’m getting an error saying that this page doesn’t work
Can i contact you somewhere other than what’s app (as i don’t have that)?
i finally got polargrid rendering to work (i had to redo the token auth thing in order to get to the job website)
So it renders nicely, but when i want to get my results i have to down load a couple of zips with my images… wich would be okay, as this service is free.
But it also downloads very slow … maybe 3-400kb/s.
Often it doesnt work at all.. i’m getting just gateway errors.
I’m curious if this gets any better or more comfortable when i book a flatrate?
Does anyone know a way to contact them per email? (i don’t have twitter or whatsapp)
