FAQs
Spend, files, security, licensing, what is live today, and automation, answered before you commit a job.
What can I run on KinoCloud?
GPU rendering from Blender today, with Maya, Nuke, Houdini and the other DCC plugins joining as their cloud render lanes open, plus simulation and compute-heavy batch jobs, all on demand.
Do I need special hardware, installs, or scripting?
No local GPU or farm to manage. Use the in-app plugins or submit from your dashboard, no scripting required, and jobs run on managed GPUs on Microsoft Azure with outputs returned for download.
How do I control cost?
Use estimates before submit, pay-as-you-go credits, billing holds, per-account budgets with auto-stop, and dashboard status to understand spend as work runs. Settlement is capped at the quote.
What happens to my files?
Inputs are uploaded for job execution, outputs are stored for retrieval, and access is scoped to your authenticated account and the job owner.
Is my data secure and compliant?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and KinoCloud is GDPR-compliant. Access to your inputs and rendered outputs stays scoped to your authenticated account and the job owner.
Can I run KinoCloud on-prem?
Yes, on-prem and hybrid versions are available for enterprise teams: the same job platform, plugins, and API deployed on your own hardware or private cloud, so data never leaves your network. Contact us to scope a deployment.
How do I sign in, and do you support SSO?
With a secure one-time link sent to your email, so there is no password to manage. Desktop plugins sign in through your browser with OAuth 2.0 and PKCE and keep the session in your operating system’s keyring (Keychain, Credential Manager or Secret Service), never in static credentials. Single sign-on (SAML) is not available yet.
How does licensing work?
Blender needs no extra licence. Commercial applications such as Maya, Nuke and Houdini will use your own floating licence (bring your own licence) as their cloud rendering opens.
What is live today?
Blender cloud rendering (in early access), dashboard submission, the REST API and the hosted MCP server. Plugins for the other seven applications are free to download now; their cloud rendering is rolling out host by host.
Can I automate this?
Yes. Create an API key and use the REST API (OpenAPI 3.1, with idempotency keys) or the hosted MCP server to estimate, submit, track and download jobs from your own pipeline, CI or AI agent.
