- www (yellow), situated in Texas, USA. It handles users, projects creation and rendering request.
- binary mirror (red): stores Blender binary copy.
- project mirror (green): stores blend file copy.
- shepherd (blue): stores the actual render. Creates zip and mp4.
We are always looking for new servers. If you are interested in lending us a server, please contact us through Discord.
