What's happaning on $RENDER Discord, what's currently being discussed in the channels? Let's dive in 🧵👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🧵 🧵 general Renderer support is being framed as a key blocker to capturing architecture/studio demand on Render. ⭕️ @sds_jgh said many target users rely on V-Ray, Corona, or Arnold, which are not currently available on the network. @extrapockets strongly agreed, then added that one of the main reasons for creating the Foundation was, in their view, to secure licensing deals the network could not otherwise access. Context from earlier discussions: this echoes prior concerns that architecture studios already spend on render farms, but Render struggles to capture that demand if adopting the network requires switching renderers, materials, plugins, and workflow. In a 2023 AMA context, Team member Tobi described the Foundation as helping contributors and service providers join the network to expand functionality, which makes the licensing/integration question feel directly tied to Foundation execution. ❗ Focus for the team: clarify whether V-Ray, Corona, and Arnold licensing/integration deals are actively being pursued by the Foundation, blocked by vendor terms, or simply not prioritized right now.
