Short answers to common questions.
Quick checks that solve most problems
- Read the job card. A failed job shows Failed: with a reason, or a red box with the full message.
- Click Reload on the job if you changed and saved the
.blendafter importing it. See Reload settings after changing the .blend file. - Open the file in Blender from the job's right-click menu and render one frame there. If Blender fails too, the problem is in the scene.
- Check the output drive is connected and has free space.
- Update RenderGod from Settings > System Settings > Check for Updates.
