## Overview 🌐
This bot allows anyone to upload and render their Blender projects extremely fast, thanks to our vast network of distributed graphics cards, featuring many enterprise grade Nvidia GPUs.
It works by bridging the user and our partnered datacenter, that provides the majority of the hardware we offer, with an estimated market value of over $60.000.
In other words, it's a **fully featured render farm in the palm of your hands**, at a fraction of the cost of traditional render farms.

## How to use 👨‍💻
Every time a user starts a render, with the `/render` command, a new task gets created. Its creator can now control this task however he pleases. He can
- Stop the task
- See the progress percentage and the the estimated remaining time, as well as individual render times for the current frame
- See what Blender addons are currently enabled 
- And even see the individual frames as they render

When the task is done, the user gets a direct message, with the outcome. 
When a user needs a GPU that is busy, the newly requested task gets added to the queue. 

#### Here is a step-by-step user guide to get started:

## Credits and free trial 💰
All users have an internal credit balance. Each of them gets $5 worth of free trial credits right away. After that, they can choose to purchase more.
In addition to that, they can earn credits by referring other users or by inviting this bot in their own Discord servers. Credits can also be requested or transferred between users.
Only Discord accounts created before February 2024 are eligible for the free trial, to prevent fraud.

## Partner Program 🤑
If you have a Discord server full of Blender artists, you can actually earn by sharing this Discord bot.

Once you surpass a specific threshold (currently set to €10), you will be allowed to redeem those credits, with `/redeem`, converting them in real-life money. Use `/earn` to learn more.

## Privacy 🙈
All user data is safely stored in a GDPR compliant server, unless clearly specified to the user, to ensure maximum privacy.

## Commands 🤖
Everything is controlled via slash commands.
The most important ones are:
- /render -> render a blend file
- /list_tasks -> see the queue of render tasks
- /list_your_tasks -> see all your render tasks
- /buy -> purchase credits
- /earn -> earn credits
- /balance -> see your current balance
- /pay -> pay user or role
- /request -> request credits from another user
- /gpu_prices -> see the prices for each supported GPU
- /redeem -> request a payment in EUR or USD for the credits you earned
- /set_logs_channel -> set the current text channel to display logs for your server
- /set_discount -> set a discount on all GPUs for your server

## Key benefits 🔝
- Accessibility: you can see the render percentage, time left, real-time prices, and also individual frames, from any device, even from mobile phones
- Ease of use: no need to start a remote virtual machine, connect via SSH, or any of that technical processes. Everything is automatic. Even the Blender version and any missing external resources are automatically detected, and users are exclusively charged when the render is running 
- Competitive prices: you can see prices for any individual GPU with the `/gpu_prices` command. Basically, NextRender costs half of the usual render farm prices, while offering a much better experience
- Missing resources detection: NextRender automatically detects missing external resources, like textures, VDBs and linked blend files. When resources are missing, the user is prompted to upload them, before starting the render task
- No constrains: I'm not a boring company, I'm an artist with a creative mind who loves freedom. I strongly believe users should render whatever they want, even for commercial use
- Fair charges: users are charged depending on the time spent rendering their projects. Other services give you access to a virtual machine, and, if you forget to turn it off when you are done rendering, you just keep paying. This doesn't happen on NextRender, when renders are done, you stop paying

## Special discounts 🤝
NextRender supports custom discounts for specific Discord servers, you can balance your earnings with the costs for your community. Use `/set_discount` to do that.
