What is JANCTION Render?

JANCTION Render is a cloud GPU render farm for Blender that AI agents call as an MCP server or HTTP API. Send a .blend file, a bpy script or a 3D file (glTF / FBX / USD), preview in seconds, and get frames or an MP4 back from JANCTION's NVIDIA GPUs. Every preview also returns a verdict on what is wrong, such as too dark, blown out, no light or an object out of frame, and the bpy code to fix it, so the agent can correct the scene before the final render. No local Blender or GPU is needed. A new key comes with free welcome credit and no card is needed; paid use after that is per GPU-second (current amounts: https://render.janction.jp/pricing) ; operated by JasmyLab Inc.

AI agents can render Blender projects on JANCTION GPUs without running Blender locally. Works from Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client: an MCP server (remote and stdio), an HTTP API and a CLI.

JANCTION Render is a separate product from SmartRender (JasmyLab's distributed rendering for people at a desktop) and is not affiliated with Render.com or the Render Network.

Try it from a terminal in a few seconds, free and with nothing to sign up for (needs uv; or pip install janction-render and drop the uvx):

uvx janction-render try                      # renders a sample scene and shows the free GPU time of your new key

uvx janction-render preview scene.blend # your .blend, bpy script or 3D file uvx janction-render render scene.blend --frames 1-48 --output mp4 --wait uvx janction-render turntable model.glb # a 360-degree turntable MP4 in one command (a path or an https link) uvx janction-render shots model.glb --transparent # four product shots (PNG)

What one command makes (real outputs)

Rendered on 2026-10-10 on the production GPU (NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell) from Khronos's WaterBottle sample (public domain, CC0); copy any line and it runs as is. The costs below were measured at 0.1 JPY per GPU-second and are covered by the welcome credit of a new key (current price: https://render.janction.jp/pricing).

The shots are four 1920x1080 PNGs; the turntable and the animation are MP4s (shown here as GIFs). Your own .glb, .blend or bpy script goes in place of the link. More, with their scripts: https://render.janction.jp/examples

Keep 3D files in a repository? Add a button that lets anyone render them from their own AI or terminal (links to file pages on GitHub and Hugging Face work as they are; make one at https://render.janction.jp/go):

Why use it?

• No GPU, no Blender install. The scene can be a bpy script the agent writes, a .blend, or a 3D file; Blender runs on our GPUs.
• Built for agents. Preview first (1-4 frames in a few GPU seconds), an estimate with time and cost before the final, structured errors with the fix, spending caps per key, safe retries with Idempotency-Key.
• 3D files and turntables. glTF / GLB, FBX, USD, OBJ, STL, PLY, Alembic are imported into an empty scene with a camera and HDRI lighting; orbit=True makes a turntable. Gaussian splats (.spz, or a 3D Gaussian Splatting .ply) open with Blender 5.3. Fixed-price outcomes: POST /v1/outcomes/turntable and /product-shot.

• Honest limits. Free welcome credit for a new key with no card, then paid per GPU-second from prepaid credit (current amounts: https://render.janction.jp/pricing); finals up to 3,000 frames per instruction, run as parts of 240 under one job id (1080p on free time, up to 4K on prepaid credit), on JANCTION's own GPUs (NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell); when they are busy jobs wait in a queue and the ETA says so. Inputs and results are deleted 24 hours after last use (7 days, normally, for keys that have paid 500 JPY or more in total) and never used for training.

• Not Render.com. Same word, different product.

Quick start

Claude.ai (nothing to install). Plugins (older menu: Customize → Connectors) → Add custom connector → https://render.janction.jp/mcp → Connect (a free key is created on the consent page). ChatGPT: Plugins (left sidebar) → Add → Create plugin → the same URL (OAuth; on Business workspaces an admin adds it). Then paste:

Render a preview of https://render.janction.jp/samples/cube_scene.py

A 4-frame preview comes back in a few seconds. A file on your computer: drop it at https://render.janction.jp/upload to get a 12-hour link, then "Render this file: ".

Claude Code.

claude mcp add --transport http janction-render https://render.janction.jp/mcp

Then /mcp to authenticate and ask: "Build a small street scene in Blender with a camera fly-through and render a preview with janction-render."

HTTP (any language).

curl -s -X POST https://render.janction.jp/v1/keys                                   # -> {"api_key": "jr_..."}  no sign-up

curl -s -X POST https://render.janction.jp/v1/files -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" -F "file=@scene.blend" # -> {"scene_id": "f_..."} curl -s -X POST https://render.janction.jp/v1/jobs -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"scene_id":"f_...","kind":"preview","frames":[1]}' # -> job_id; then GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}

From your own agent or app

Python (pip install janction-render; the first call creates a free key and keeps it in ~/.janction-render.json):

from janction_render.client import Client

c = Client() # or Client(api_key="jr_...") scene = c.upload("scene.py") # a bpy script, a .blend, or a .glb / .fbx / .usd / .obj file job = c.submit(scene["scene_id"], kind="final", frame_start=1, frame_end=48, output="mp4") job = c.wait(job["job_id"], timeout=1800) print(job["status"], c.download(job["job_id"], "out", only="mp4"))

Pay per use with prepaid credit; no subscription is needed (prices: https://render.janction.jp/pricing). Instead of polling, pass notify_url (https) to POST /v1/jobs and get one JSON POST when the job finishes (job.done / job.failed, with download links); an Idempotency-Key header makes retries safe. OpenAPI: https://render.janction.jp/openapi.json A complete app example (a user uploads a GLB, the app orders fixed-price product shots, a webhook stores the images): https://render.janction.jp/blender-render-api#embed

Agent frameworks connect to the remote MCP server at https://render.janction.jp/mcp with the key as a bearer token (curl -s -X POST https://render.janction.jp/v1/keys gives one, no sign-up).

OpenAI Agents SDK (keep the longer timeout: render_preview waits for the image, longer than the 5-second default):

import asyncio

from agents import Agent, Runner from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp

async def main(): async with MCPServerStreamableHttp(name="janction-render", client_session_timeout_seconds=120, params={"url": "https://render.janction.jp/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer jr_..."}}) as render: agent = Agent(name="3D artist", instructions="Render Blender scenes with janction-render.", mcp_servers=[render]) result = await Runner.run(agent, "Render a preview of https://render.janction.jp/samples/cube_scene.py") print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

LangChain (pip install langchain-mcp-adapters):

import asyncio

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient

async def main(): client = MultiServerMCPClient({"janction-render": {"url": "https://render.janction.jp/mcp", "transport": "streamable_http", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer jr_..."}}}) tools = await client.get_tools() # render_preview, render_final, render_status, render_download, ... print([t.name for t in tools])

asyncio.run(main())

OpenAI Responses API (remote MCP; render_final keeps asking for approval because it spends credit):

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI() resp = client.responses.create( model="gpt-5", tools=[{"type": "mcp", "server_label": "janction_render", "server_url": "https://render.janction.jp/mcp", "authorization": "jr_...", "require_approval": {"never": {"tool_names": ["scene_info", "render_preview", "render_estimate", "render_status", "render_download"]}}}], input="Render a preview of https://render.janction.jp/samples/cube_scene.py and give me the image link.", )
