# Simulate local path, Upload Blender projects

For [Blender](https://3sfarm.com/autodesk-maya-render-farm/) renders, please simulate the local path before uploading your projects to our farm. Let's follow this article to see how to implement it!

**Keep Local Path using 3S Cloud Desktop**

We built 3S Cloud Desktop in order to make it easier for our user to upload their project to our render farm.
