Superluminal documentation

Superluminal is a Blender render farm. The add-on submits scenes. The web app shows projects, frames, previews, logs, performance, and billing. Output downloads through Blender.

*A running job: frames, live preview, details, per-frame operation timing.*

• Annotation 1: Job status, progress, and actions

• Annotation 2: Selected-frame details and re-render

• Annotation 3: Frame grid

• Annotation 4: Sequence preview

• Annotation 5: Job and scene details

• Annotation 6: Operations chart and render logs

• Start a first render: Install, connect, create a project, submit a test frame.
• Use the Blender add-on: Every control from upload mode to output download.
• Use the web app: Projects, jobs, frames, previews, metrics, and logs.
• Solve a problem: Focused checks and the details support needs.

The workflow at a glance

Prepare in Blender

Save the .blend, test the frame locally, and choose self-contained packaging or project-file reuse.

Submit through the add-on

Pick project, frame range, render order, image format, Blender version, and render-time add-ons.

Review in the web app

Watch frame state, previews, render layers, machine and operation timings, and live logs.

Download through Blender

Choose a local folder in Manage & Download. The downloader follows completed frames and can start before the job finishes.

Current product boundaries

Four limits cause most confusion:

• Rendering is submitted from the Blender add-on. The public API is experimental.
• Full-quality output is downloaded through the add-on, not the web job page. Render objects are retained for seven days.
• Rendering requires a positive organization balance. At zero, active frames are not guaranteed to finish.
• Storage, Production, and Workstations appear in navigation but are still Coming Soon previews.

Current pricing, referral benefits, and capacity live in the app. These docs do not repeat changing numbers.
