  • Publication number: 20170085647
    Abstract: This document describes methods, systems and computer program products related to cloud-based rendering. The subject matter of this document is embodied in a s method that includes receiving, at a server from a remote client application, files related to rendering of a frame, and storing the files related to the rendering of the frame at storage locations local to the server. The files are stored in accordance with an organization of the files on a remote computing device associated with the remote client application. The method also includes rendering the frame from the files using a rendering application determined based on information associated with the files, and making the rendered frame available to the remote client application.
