Deploy, Dispatch, Download: The Complete InstaLOD Grid Series

Deploy InstaLOD Grid as an on‑prem compute cluster and make 3D processing accessible across your team. This seven‑part series shows how to stand up a Grid server, connect worker nodes, and submit jobs through the web app, InstaLOD Studio, the command line, and integration plugins. Get a clear, end‑to‑end view of setup, dispatch, previews, and downloads across real production workflows.

InstaLOD Grid is an on‑premise compute cluster designed to centralize and scale 3D processing across a network. Instead of relying on individual local setups, teams can submit jobs through a web application and have tasks routed to available compute nodes for consistent, shared throughput.

Across the seven videos, you will see the full workflow from setup to execution. We start by setting up the Grid server, then connect processing workers so the cluster can grow with demand. From there, jobs can be submitted and tracked through an approachable web interface, with clear visibility into task state, worker status, and available processing profiles.

The series also covers multiple submission paths so each role can work the way it prefers. Artists can send tasks through InstaLOD Studio, while technical users can automate submissions via the command line, including specifying profiles, inputs, and outputs for repeatable batch runs.

Finally, we look at deeper pipeline and DCC integration through plugins such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, and VRED. Assets can be sent to InstaLOD Grid for processing and then re‑imported back into scenes when complete, helping studios integrate scalable compute into everyday production workflows.
