What Is RenderGod? A Render Queue Manager for Blender
RenderGod is a desktop render queue manager for Blender that batches .blend files, recovers crashed renders, converts media and monitors renders remotely.
RenderGod is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages Blender render queues. You add .blend files, adjust how each one renders, press Start, and RenderGod renders them one after another with the Blender versions installed on your computer.

How RenderGod works with Blender
- RenderGod starts Blender in the background for each job. You do not need Blender open.
- It reads the scene, cameras, view layers, frame range and render settings from each
.blendfile when you import it. - Changes you make in RenderGod are passed to Blender at render time. Your
.blendfile on disk is not changed. - Each job can use a different installed Blender version.
Who RenderGod is for
- Artists who render several shots or files overnight.
- Freelancers and studios who need long renders to finish even when Blender crashes or the PC restarts.
- Anyone who wants to check on a render from a phone or another room.
