What Is 3D Rendering? What Is a Render Farm?

What Is 3D Rendering?

3D rendering is the process of transforming a three-dimensional digital scene into a realistic image or animation by calculating lighting, materials, textures, shadows, and camera settings.

This process is the most critical stage of any 3D visualization and animation project.

In fields such as product visualization, architectural rendering, and industrial animation, 3D rendering allows:

• Products that are not yet manufactured to be presented realistically

• Architectural projects to be communicated clearly during sales and marketing stages

• Industrial and mechanical systems to be explained visually and accurately

Modern 3D software such as Blender, Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, and Cinema 4D performs millions of complex calculations per frame. Achieving high realism therefore requires extremely powerful hardware.

Why Is 3D Rendering So Computationally Demanding?

A typical professional 3D scene includes:

• High-polygon models

• Physically based materials (PBR)

• Global illumination and ray tracing

• Volumetric lighting and reflections

• 4K–8K resolution outputs

For animation projects, this process is repeated 25–60 times per second, resulting in hundreds or even thousands of frames that must be rendered individually.

Using a single workstation for such workloads is inefficient and time-consuming.This is where render farms become essential.

What Is a Render Farm?

A render farm is a system composed of multiple high-performance computers (render nodes) working together simultaneously to process rendering tasks.

Key advantages of using a render farm include:

• Dramatically reduced render times

• Stable processing of complex, large-scale scenes

• Reliable delivery schedules for professional projects

• The ability to render multiple projects at the same time

In short, a render farm is the backbone of any professional 3D studio.

Pixel Fabrikası Render Farm Infrastructure

At Pixel Fabrikası, we rely on a powerful, custom-built render farm infrastructure to maintain high visual quality while meeting tight deadlines.

Our Render Farm Configuration

• 4 independent render farms

• Each render farm consists of:

  • 4× NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs

• In total:

  • 16 NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs

  • Fully GPU-based, high parallel processing architecture

This infrastructure enables us to efficiently produce:

• High-resolution product renders

• Complex architectural visualizations

• Industrial and mechanical animations

• Advanced ray tracing and physically accurate lighting

—all with maximum performance and consistency.

What Does This Infrastructure Allow Us to Do?

• Significantly shorter render times

• Higher realism in lighting, reflections, and materials

• Stable delivery timelines even for large-scale projects

• Faster revisions and iteration cycles

In product, architectural, and industrial visualization, time and visual accuracy are critical factors. Our render farm setup gives us a clear competitive advantage in both.

Conclusion

3D rendering is not just about aesthetics—it is a highly technical process that requires advanced software, expert knowledge, and powerful hardware.

With 4 dedicated render farms and a total of 16 NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs, Pixel Fabrikası delivers high-end 3D renders and animations at exceptional speed and quality.

If you are looking for premium product, architectural, or industrial 3D visualization, Pixel Fabrikası provides the performance and reliability your project demands.
