description Fusion 360 Cloud Render Overview

Fusion 360 Cloud Render is a rendering engine integrated within Autodesk’s Fusion 360 CAD platform. It leverages cloud computing to generate photorealistic simulations of designs quickly and efficiently. This capability benefits professional designers, engineers, and BIM specialists needing high-quality visualizations for industrial design, product development, and architectural projects. The cloud-based processing reduces local hardware demands while maintaining rendering performance.

help Fusion 360 Cloud Render FAQ

How does Fusion 360 Cloud Render work?

You set the camera, environment, and quality in Fusion's Render workspace, choose Cloud Renderer, and send the job to Autodesk's cloud. Autodesk documents Standard and Final cloud quality options, with the finished image appearing in the Rendering Gallery. [Autodesk rendering guide](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/ENU/Fusion-Render/files/GUID-AFA42779-F9EB-4586-9DC2-A658646C0294.htm)

Does Fusion cloud rendering use credits or tokens?

Yes, cloud rendering requires tokens in Fusion, and the token cost depends on the render settings. Autodesk now calls the virtual currency tokens, although older documentation may say cloud credits.

Can I render locally instead of using the cloud?

Yes, Fusion offers a Local Renderer as well as Cloud Renderer, so a local render can run on your own computer without submitting the job to Autodesk's cloud. The same Render workspace presents Standard and Final quality choices for the local path. [Autodesk rendering guide](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/ENU/Fusion-Render/files/GUID-AFA42779-F9EB-4586-9DC2-A658646C0294.htm)

Is Fusion 360 Cloud Render for CAD or film animation?

It is integrated into Fusion 360's CAD workflow and is aimed at still images of designs, materials, cameras, and environments. Fusion also lists rendering and media generation among cloud computational services, but it is not the same tool as a full film renderer such as Pixar RenderMan.
