The benefits of cloud computing for the industry

According to the relevant data, at the PDC10 conference, Microsoft also showed that a content-rich film was made by Pixar , which was achieved with the help of Windows Azure platform. the process of making an animation requires a supercomputer, so this part of the effort will be huge for animation companies.

We "Toy Story 3" as an example, 100 minutes of the film will need 148,000 animation, if it is 3D, then need 290,000 animation, each animation on average need 8 hours rendering, this calculation is very large, It would take 272 years to render the film if it was done with a single processor.

There is a huge data center behind the Pixar animation team for these calculations, and for small and medium-sized animation companies, the infrastructure, the size of the site, and so on, make it impossible for them to have the computing power, which limits their development.

Pixar has put their animated tools RenderMan on the cloud computing services offered by Microsoft's Azure platform, so that small animation companies, through Microsoft's computing services, can not only use state-of-the-art animation Tools RenderMan You can also get the computational power to complete the animation. So they can focus more on improving animation effects, innovative design, and no worries.

The creative industry is growing all over the world, including China, of course. Cloud computing lowers the threshold for entry into the creative industry, making it easier for creative people to produce value, and to create more creativity while creating a visually extraordinary experience.
