Optimizing 3D Rendering for Bioracer Design Workflow 2026
In Bioracer Design Workflow 2026, we are making a major shift in how 3D rendering and asset generation is handled. The current on-premise rendering system, while effective, has several limitations in terms of speed, scalability, and long-term sustainability. By moving rendering processes to the cloud, we can achieve faster turnaround times, reduced system dependency, and improved quality for both 3D and 2D assets.
Challenges in the Current Workflow (2020)
Currently, the 3D rendering workflow relies on four dedicated 3DPC workstations that handle the conversion of heavy 3D scenes into high-quality 2D images, animations, and online 3D files for approval websites. While this system functions well, it faces several critical drawbacks:
🔴 Render Delays & Bottlenecks
- Rendering times increase significantly during peak usage, leading to delays in project approvals.
- 3D movie rendering takes too long to be practical, limiting our ability to provide dynamic previews.
🔴 Large File Sizes & High Network Load
- 3D files are extremely large, making them difficult to manage efficiently. Due to storage limitations, they must be removed after approval, preventing reuse in production and eliminating valuable reference data.
- Rendering and uploading assets manually creates heavy network traffic and increases server load.
🔴 Ageing Hardware & Security Risks
- The workstations run 24/7 and are 5 to 8 years old, exceeding their expected lifespan.
- They operate on Windows 10, which loses Microsoft support in October 2025, creating security risks.
- Upgrading to Windows 11 is not possible due to hardware limitations.
With these challenges in mind, Workflow 2026 introduces a modern, cloud-based approach to rendering that is faster, scalable, and future-proof.
The Future: Cloud-Based 3D Rendering & Optimization
Our 2026 ambition is to eliminate these inefficiencies by moving towards a cloud-based 3D rendering system that integrates directly with the Adobe Illustrator 3D plugin 2.0 and the new Bioracer Cloud 3D model viewer.
Step 1: Upgrading the 3D Model Catalogue for Online & Mobile Use
🔹 Focus: Optimization & Accessibility
- The entire 3D model catalogue will be optimized for cloud and mobile use.
- This will reduce file sizes while enhancing quality, making it easier to handle and view models online and on mobile devices.
✅ Benefits:
- Smaller file sizes for faster loading.
- Higher-quality 3D models optimized for modern web technologies.
- Better user experience across all devices.
- Continuous availability of 3D models for production and reference.
Step 2: Developing a Cloud-Based 3D Model Viewer
🔹 Focus: Real-Time Visualization & Accessibility
- A new Cloud 3D model viewer will be developed, based on the existing Bioracer Design Your Own platform.
- This allows clients, designers, and sales teams to view 3D models in real-time directly in the cloud.
✅ Benefits:
- No downloads required—view models instantly online.
- Interactive previews for better client engagement.
- Faster approvals as clients can see designs dynamically.
Step 3: Implementing Cloud-Based 3D Rendering for 2D Images
🔹 Focus: Faster Processing & Automation
With Steps 1 & 2 in place, the next logical evolution is to move 3D rendering to the cloud.
- A new cloud-based 3D rendering system will generate 2D images directly from the 3D models.
- This eliminates the need for on-premise rendering workstations, significantly reducing delays and improving efficiency.
- The next-gen Adobe Illustrator 3D Plugin 2.0 will connect directly to the cloud, allowing designers to create projects instantly—no more waiting for render queues.
✅ Benefits:
- No rendering delays—images are processed on-demand in the cloud.
- Scalability—cloud-based systems can handle multiple projects simultaneously.
- Automatic project creation—designers don’t need to manually trigger rendering.
- Seamless workflow—designers can focus on creativity while the system handles rendering.
Additional Advantage: Direct Integration with Webshops
Beyond the approval process, this cloud rendering system will also prepare 2D images for webshop usage.
- High-quality, automatically generated 2D images can be instantly used for online product listings.
- This ensures that designs transition seamlessly from approval to retail, saving time and reducing manual processing steps.
✅ Benefits:
- Faster product listings with ready-to-use images.
- Consistent visual quality across all platforms.
- Less manual intervention, reducing workload.
