[Official] 🚀 Cloud-GPU Templates for AI Render — Powered by RunComfy & RunPod

Running AI workflows locally can be demanding on hardware and storage. With cloud GPUs, you can skip the heavy setup, save space on your machine, and start generating right away — all from the cloud.

To help our community skip the tedious setup process, we’re providing two ready-to-use cloud GPU templates:

RunComfy Template

How to Connect to AI Render:

  • When connecting, you’ll need the ComfyUI Backend URL.
  • After your machine has started, copy the last part of the displayed URL (See the image below), and create a new URL in the this format:

https://999419d6-313a-4a1d-94d8-e0d7b5ff613b-comfyui.runcomfy.com

:warning: Note: This is an example, ID changes every time you start a new machine.

  • Enter this URL in the AI Render settings panel, under LAN server mode.

RunPod Template

How to Connect to AI Render:

  • Once your machine is running, simply copy the ComfyUI WebUI URL.
  • Paste it into the AI Render settings panel under LAN server mode.

Both templates not only fully support our preset workflows, but also the Flux image and WAN video workflows that will be demoed in our upcoming webinars

Hi all,

We’re excited to announce that an update to the AI Render plugin will be released on September 1! :tada:

  • Fully compatible with iClone 8.6, Character Creator 4.6, and the newly released Character Creator 5.

  • For users who prefer not to update iClone or CC yet, you can still update the AI Render plugin itself. Step-by-step instructions will be provided in the release note.

  • Includes fixes and enhancements to several critical functions for a smoother workflow.

:warning: Important Note: If you update to iClone 8.6 or CC 4.6 now, the current AI Render plugin will not be supported. Please wait for the September 1 release for full compatibility. If you already updated and need to roll back, follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall the current version of iClone/Character Creator (via Hub).
  2. Reinstall iClone 8.54 / Character Creator 4.54 using the installers below.
  3. Run the patch in the original AI Render installer you installed before.
