"3Delight Cloud – unquestionably the most secure 
cloud rendering service on the market." 

Here is a brief on how 3Delight Cloud securely handles your data. Some of the strategies employed, unique to 3Delight Cloud, makes it the most secure cloud rendering service on the market.

Data Communication

3Delight Cloud uses TLS/SSL (256 bits encryption) when uploading your scene data to the cloud and when downloading the rendered images. This is the most secured internet encryption available – the same standard used by banks and other organization in need of high security.

Scene Data Storage

Scene data is fragmented into inaccessible smaller parts and stored using AES-256 encryption. Additionally, scene data is fragmented using the secure SHA-1 (128 bits) hashing function and that makes it virtually impossible to access and rebuilt your scene without the original data on your hard drive. 

Image Data Storage

Unique to 3Delight Cloud, your images are never stored in the cloud. Not even momentarily. Here is how it works: during rendering, pixels (in buckets of 16x16) are lively streamed directly to your computer. It is the program that we run on your computer that assembles these to form the image and save it to your hard drive (or display it to your screen).

*_{And remember, these small buckets of pixels are transferred using TLS/SSL (256 encryption).}

A few notes are in order here:

• When using 3Delight Cloud, it is important to make sure your internet connection is not severed. If it is, rendering will abort as it will not know where to send the pixels. This is also why it is futile to ask us if you could download your images after such an interruption if it occurs. No images are ever saved on 3Delight Cloud.
• As the rendering outputs the pixels, a tiny fraction are retained to form a thumbnail (120x66 pixels) which is saved (encrypted) in your Transaction History. Here is a sample:
