## Abstract (arXiv)

The movies like the Avatar are a good example of the stunning visual effects that the animation could bring into a movie.The 3D wire frame models are converted to 3D photo realistic images using a process called the rendering. This rendering process is offered as a service in the cloud, where the animation files to be rendered are split into frames and rendered in the cloud resources and are popularly known as Rendering as a Service. As this is gaining high popularity among the animators community, this work intends to enable the animators to Gain basic knowledge about Rendering as a Service. Understand the variety in the service models through the taxonomy,Explore, compare and classify the services quickly using the tree-structured taxonomy of services. In this paper, the various characteristics of the services are organized in the form of a tree to enable quick classification and comparison of the services. To enhance the understandability, three popular services have been classified and verified according to the proposed tree-structured taxonomy.
