Renders kept, with the tier that made them recorded
When a tier is withdrawn, sheets and segments already made keep their pixels and their record of which tier made them, versions are kept, and nothing is regenerated on the customer's behalf. Video in an episode stays on the tier it last used while that tier is listed. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-12 to 2026-10-26; no maker pays to be listed.
| What the page is asked | What SceneMixer publishes | What that leaves open |
|---|---|---|
| Is disposal of material addressed | Yes: renders and versions are kept | Stated in a guide on withdrawn tiers |
| Does a project keep its model | While the tier is listed; otherwise the default | Video follows the episode's last-used tier |
| Can a change be identified later | Yes, each render records the tier that made it | And tiers name a model and a version |
| Is a notice period stated | Nothing published about warning | Recorded in the notice period column too |
Inclusion rule. Read from the public price list and the vendor's guide on withdrawn tiers. Account-closure terms are not part of this column. Order. What is stated first, then what is still not published.
1Kept, recorded and not redone
The guide is specific on three points. Renders keep their pixels, so nothing already delivered changes. Each keeps a record of which tier made it, so a later reader can tell what produced it. And nothing is regenerated on the customer's behalf, so a withdrawn tier does not quietly replace finished work with something made by its successor.
That last point is the one a series depends on. A season is not silently re-rendered in a different look because the engine behind one tier went away.
2Mid-series is where this column matters
A season established under one model and continued under another reads as two productions. The guide's rule for video, the episode's last-used tier while it is listed and the default otherwise, keeps an episode on its engine for as long as that engine is offered and makes the moment it is not visible in the price on the button.
What it does not settle is warning. A tier can still go without notice, and the notice period reading for this entry records that as empty.
3What the naming does buy
It connects an announcement made by a maker to a line on a bill. When a maker publishes a date, a customer here can tell whether it applies to the tier they use, which is the link most entries break.
That is worth having and it is detection, not protection. The notice reading for this entry sets out why the two are not interchangeable.
- Finished work when a tier goesSheets and segments already made keep their pixels and their record of which tier made them; versions are kept, and nothing is regenerated or charged by a fallback
- Work in progress when a tier goesWhen a tier is withdrawn, text and image work falls back to the default tier and video to the tier the episode last used if it is still listed, otherwise the default; the price shown is the tier that will run
