Closed infrastructure for CG studios
OpenVDB and Alembic simulation caches and 8K textures move between your remote render farms through dedicated cache nodes — encrypted, resumable from the exact point of failure, with no manual copying.
01 / Features
General-purpose file storage spends hours re-copying sparse volumes and per-frame sequences. RenderCache reads the formats your farms produce and sends only what changed.
Every chunk is encrypted on the studio side before it leaves. Project keys stay inside your perimeter or HSM; cache nodes and our servers only ever see ciphertext — which satisfies studio NDAs and client security audits.
Files are split into content-addressed chunks. If the link drops at 97% of a two-terabyte cache, the agent continues from the last verified chunk and pulls the missing ones from the nearest cache node.
The agent reads the VDB tree and diffs leaf nodes between versions. Re-simulate frames 1100–1180 and only the changed voxels of those frames go over the wire — not the whole sequence.
.abc
Only changed time samples and hierarchy objects are sent.
8K · UDIM · .tx
UDIM tiles and MIP levels are deduplicated across asset versions.
msk · spb · nsk
A hot cache next to the farm: repeat reads never touch the studio uplink.
REST · Python SDK
Deadline, OpenCue and Afanasy trigger a sync as soon as a cache is written.
02 / Architecture
rcd agent at the studioWatches cache directories, splits files into chunks, encrypts them and publishes a version manifest.
Stores encrypted chunks next to your farms and serves every subscribed site. Upload once — every farm reads locally.
The farm agent verifies each chunk's BLAKE3 hash, decrypts and rebuilds files at their original paths before the render task starts.

$ ▍03 / Pricing
Your plan sets the hot-cache capacity and the number of connected agents. Traffic between a cache node and your farms inside the same region is free.

Prices exclude VAT. Invoiced under a signed agreement. During the closed beta, plans are available to invited studios only.
Storage copies whole files. RenderCache understands the structure of VDB, Alembic and UDIM textures, sends only the changed parts and keeps a hot copy next to the farm.
No. Data is encrypted on your machines before it is sent, and project keys never leave your perimeter. Cache nodes store ciphertext only.
Nothing is lost: upload sessions are kept for 7 days. Once the link is back, the agent continues from the last verified chunk.
Yes. On the Enterprise plan, cache nodes and the control server run in your data centre. You need Linux x86_64, an NVMe array and a 10 Gbit/s+ uplink.
