Prepare for your first submission

Prepare for your first submission

1. Download & Install Envoy

Envoy is used to manage your submissions and transfer your project files to & from our cloud.  Download links for all supported platforms can be found at https://www.gridmarkets.com/envoy-render-manager

2. Install Submission Plugins

Install the plugin(s) for the relevant application(s) from Envoy's PLUGINS menu.
That's it!  You are ready now to submit.  When submitting a scene, particularly for the first time, always run a couple of representative frames to test the results.  Should there are any issues with the submission, it is better to discover these early, before submitting the complete and/or high resolution version of the scene and using up your credits.  This practice will help to keep your costs down as well as reduce your project duration.

For more information on plug-in installation see the installing plugins via Envoy article.

See our Knowledge Base articles for more info on Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D and 3ds Max.
