Credits question

[nicola_barbano]

Hi!
I'm new on Chaos Cloud, so sorry if my question is a bit silly.
I would like to try it with sending an animation FHD, around 4000frames (basic, just camera moving but quite long) and I have my free 20 credits.
Are they enough? I don't understand where or how I can know if credits are enough...

Thank you
Nico

Hi nicola_barbano ,

Before rendering your whole animation in Chaos Cloud, you can review this tutorial how to evaluate how many credits you might need for rendering an animation. Please check it and let us know if you have further questions. I believe it would help you.

Best regards,
Vladie

Hi Vladie,
Thanks for letting me know. And sorry for my silly question but I'm new and it's my first approach to Chaos Cloud.
I read yesterday that tutorial...and I understood that my 20credits are not enough for 3 min of animation...ahahahahh

However I suggest you to create a simple, clear and immediate page about cost/credits for still or animation. It would be really helpful!

Thank you

Hi nicola_barbano,

There are no silly questions and the one you ask is very important Thanks for it, Nico!

I'm not sure about your animation but this guideline should help you calculate approximately how much it will cost to render it in Chaos Cloud.

With respect to your suggestion about the page with examples of scenes and how much they cost to render in Chaos Cloud, we have one for stills - https://www.chaos.com/cloud/scenes. Besides the description visible on the page, we have another with a few more details - https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/a...-sample-scenes. Please let me know if it helps or if you have suggestions how to improve it.

Bests,
Vladie
