Why we like it

Fastest Render stands out in the superhive library for a narrow, practical focus: it retunes Blender's own settings and favours GPU over CPU rendering to cut the time simple animations take to render, all from a single button.

What is Fastest Render?

Fastest Render is a rendering addon from Divine Animation Studio that aims to reduce the time animations take to render in Blender. It works by harnessing the settings within Blender and maximising your hardware. One example is that it automatically checks whether the GPU can be used and, where present, renders on the GPU rather than the CPU to decrease render time. Beyond that, a range of other settings are retuned in a fashion that maintains quality while significantly reducing render time.

At the click of a button, you can render a simple animation up to 80% quicker. The addon is intended for simple animations rather than complex ones.

Fastest Render targets Blender 3.5 and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included with the addon, and a demo video is available. It can be found in the superhive library.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fastest Render work with Blender 3.5?

Fastest Render is listed for Blender 3.5, so that version is the one the addon targets. It works within Blender's existing settings rather than replacing them, retuning a range of options to reduce render time while maintaining quality. If you're running a different Blender release, check the developer's page from Divine Animation Studio for compatibility details before installing, since 3.5 is the version stated here. Confirming the version match first helps you avoid surprises when you enable the addon in your preferences.

Can Fastest Render handle complex animations?

Fastest Render is intended for simple animations rather than complex ones, according to the developer. Its approach is to retune Blender's settings and lean on GPU rendering to cut render time, and it can render a simple animation up to 80% quicker at the click of a button. For heavier, more involved scenes, the addon isn't the stated target, so results on complex projects may differ from the simple-animation figures the developer describes. Keeping that scope in mind sets the right expectations.

How does Fastest Render reduce render time?

Fastest Render reduces render time by harnessing the settings within Blender and maximising your hardware. As one example, it automatically checks whether the GPU can be used and, where present, renders on the GPU rather than the CPU. It also retunes a range of other settings in a fashion that maintains quality while significantly reducing render time. All of this runs from a single button, and the developer states it can render a simple animation up to 80% quicker. The focus stays on simple animations rather than complex scenes.

Is Fastest Render free?

Fastest Render is listed as free in this catalog. It's released under the GPL license, and for the latest on licensing or any terms, the developer's page from Divine Animation Studio is the best place to check. The addon also comes with documentation, so once you have it set up you have a reference for how it fits into your Blender workflow. Licensing and availability can change over time, so confirming on the developer's page is worth a moment before you rely on it.
