Well-known film and television production companies commented on cloud rendering...

Rendering Cloud, the preferred cloud rendering platform for millions of designers. Is

cloud rendering useful?

1. The visual effects director and art director of the movie "Zhu Xian"-Li Yan commented: Rendering is very important for post-production special effects. It is very time-consuming and error-prone for complex special effects environments and fluid rendering. Failure to find and deal with it in time will cause a huge waste of resources. This shading cloud does a very good job, can find out in time and cooperate with us to solve the problem as soon as possible. This time I am very grateful to Xuanyun for his contribution to this film, which gives us a more secure guarantee in the production cycle.

2. Tiangong's splendid visual effects producer, who undertook the late stage of the movie "Shanghai Fortress", commented on Zhao Hui: As the film involves a large number of CG characters and different types of special effects elements, Tiangong splendid is on the market After evaluating the veteran farm (the equipment is old and cannot support Houdini's huge resource calculation consumption), only Shaoyun has the ability to dynamically expand massive resources, flexible scheduling and rapid environment customization, which meets Houdini's resource needs in the project. As a domestic professional rendering farm, Xundoyun has undertaken a large number of rendering tasks for "Shanghai Fortress". To ensure the smooth completion of the film rendering task, Xundoyun also provides the high-speed transmission capability of the transmission line, and the professional team provides 7*24 hours of escort during the project , Whether it’s transmission solutions, rendering resource scheduling, and abnormal task investigation, the smooth delivery of the "Shanghai Fortress" project is guaranteed with high quality and high efficiency.

is enough to show that cloud rendering technology really provides great convenience for the development of the film and television industry. China's film and television industry was thriving in 9102, and it is constantly progressing and developing. Of course, Xingyun must keep up with the pace of the times~ Recently, I heard that Xingyun film and television client has been updated again! The 5.14 version is surprisingly online~ The specific functions are introduced as follows:

1. After the Maya file parsing is completed, if the user uses the renderer to be any of Arnold/Vray/Redshift and the output format is EXR, you can manually activate Maya Block rendering function, just check the [Priority Frame Block Rendering] option in the parameter setting panel to enable, the number of blocks is 4, 9, 16 for users to choose according to their needs. By activating Maya's block rendering function,

can achieve priority frame rendering on multiple machines (4/9/16), greatly reducing the waiting time for priority frame rendering, and quickly enter the "full speed rendering" stage, which becomes the rendering progress of the entire task "Boosters".

1. Sub-account quota allocation

The essence of enterprise competition is efficiency improvement and cost reduction. "Cost control" may be a long-term consideration for business managers. Rendering, as a high consumption cost that CG companies cannot avoid, is certainly also a cost item that CG enterprise-level users focus on and plan. In order to allow enterprise-level users to better manage the allocation of rendering credits and control rendering costs, the rendering cloud team has developed a sub-account allocation function.

Rendering Cloud Film and Television users can create multi-level sub-accounts (up to 5 levels), restore the user's local organizational structure, and restore the management relationship between the upper and lower levels of the enterprise. The sub-account quota allocation is used by the parent account to the level 1 sub-account configuration rendering use Quota (Unit: Xuanyun Coin), other sub-accounts can be set as "withholding" except for the level 1 sub-account, and the sub-account with "withholding" can be set to the total amount allocated to the level 1 sub-account. When rendering, the level 1 sub-account quota is reduced accordingly.

When the sub-account usage exceeds the rendering quota, the current rendering subtasks will continue to be rendered. Other subtasks will pause rendering and no new tasks can be submitted. The client will prompt you that the current rendering quota is insufficient. Contact the parent account to allocate the quota and redistribute the quota After that, the file automatically continues to render.

3. Subtask rendering progress display

is aimed at users who use Terragen/Clarisse software or Arnold/Redshift renderer to render files. The cloud video client will automatically start to show the progress of subtask rendering, and users can view the details of each frame. Rendering situation, and estimate the remaining rendering time, accurately control the subtask rendering process.

IV. Frame detection

Aimed at the situation of stuck frames in rendering tasks, the Cloud Rendering team has specially developed an intelligent detection mechanism for the system. When there are bugs such as node abnormality/card frame timeout, the systemThe system will automatically detect the problem and replace the node to re-render the abnormal frame to ensure the smoothness of the rendering process, greatly reduce the card frame frequency, and improve the rendering efficiency. The

rendering cloud team has always been adhering to the concept of "using the actual needs of users as the only indicator of R&D and improving product performance, and optimizing user experience as the ultimate goal", hoping to bring users a more intimate and convenient experience.
