Render the comps, before load-in.

Map videos onto 3D-scene materials and render headlessly — Blender or Cinema 4D + Redshift, on your own machine. One scene, many screens, no farm required.

+ Renders with Blender · Cinema 4D + Redshift · ships bundled ffmpeg +
+
+
+ + +
+
+
+ Four steps, start to finish +

From a scene and clips to finished frames

+

No render setup, no scripting. Scan the scene, link clips to materials, queue it.

+
+
+
+
1

Add a scene

+

Drag a .blend / .c4d / .glb (or .fbx, .usd, …) onto the Scene box, then Scan — materials, cameras, and render settings load automatically.

+
+
+
2

Add clips

+

Drag your videos into the list and pick a camera. Resolution, fps, and frame ranges auto-fill from the scene.

+
+
+
3

Link them

+

Auto-map matches clips to materials by name — or link any pair by hand. Every screen gets its content.

+
+
+
4

Queue & render

+

Hit Start and watch the live preview. The renderer runs headless in the background — a crash can never take down the app.

+
+
+
+
+ + +
+
+
+ A closer look +

A render pipeline in one window

+
PrevizRender
+ PrevizRender feature +
+

The right backend is chosen automatically by scene type — Blender for .blend / .fbx / .usd and friends, Cinema 4D + Redshift for .c4d. Same workflow either way.

+
+
+
+
+ + +
+
+
+ Backends +

Your scenes, your renderers

+

PrevizRender drives the renderer you already use — headlessly, in the background.

+
+
+
+

Bl Blender

+

.blend, .fbx, .obj, .glb, .usd, .abc and more. No Blender on the machine? The app offers a managed runtime download — one click, with a progress bar.

+ Nothing else to install +
+
+

C4 Cinema 4D + Redshift

+

.c4d scenes render through your own C4D + Redshift install — the app pulls the Redshift sampling settings straight from the scene.

+ Uses your licensed install +
+
+
+
+ + +
+
+
+ Part of the family +

Plan it. Map it. Render it.

+

Three sibling tools by hamLT, powered by Toy Robot Media — one for each stage of getting content onto real-world screens.

+
+
+ + + Plan +

Preshow.link

+

Previz the whole show in 3D — venues, screens, timelines, comps, and client review links.

+ + + + Map +

UV Studio

+

Map artwork onto every screen in the venue, with lossless C4D and Blender round-trips.

+ + + + Render +

PrevizRender You're here

+

Render the comps locally — video mapped onto 3D scenes via headless Blender or Cinema 4D.
