Animation Process

People normally ask how animation have been done in both 3D and 2D, and how about hybrid like Sinbad the Movie :

Within 3D, a more complex technologies may add up with physic, math and some other tools which need to help promote those visual more abstract as large impact to most audience. And yet, in 2D we need to rendering, with lot of people sitting there and do rendering (lol) but 3D with computer, more money to use but less people consume at the time, one engineer could help the rendering phase more decrease to let entire project meets deadline. Not very complex…

Seagate Enterprise Drives Break Bottlenecks for Animation Studio

When an award–winning Australian animation studio faced an uphill battle to deliver a critical project on time, it called on Seagate’s enterprise hard drives for a big storage assist.

The studio, The People’s Republic of Animation(PRA), provides animation for TV commercials, as well as for hit games for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PSP, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, and Nintendo’s Wii platform.

But with increasing demand for high–definition and 3D animation, PRA’s technology was stretched to the limits when it embarked on a high–profile project for Sony.

Sony’s wanted PRA to create a 90–second animated trailer for a new video game—a big project for a global client that could cement the Australian studio’s reputation as a leading player. But the studio faced a major problem:its server had slowed dramatically due to the massive production load.

With as many as 30 creative developers accessing the server simultaneously, network speed was sluggish, with a throughput of just 2MBs–per–second.

Seagate’s Constellation ES enterprise drives deliver ample capacity and round–the–clock reliability.

Downtime is…

For example, render times totaled 40 million hours for Monsters vs. Aliens, 30 million hours for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and 6.6 million hours for Revenge of the Sith.

A good render time for television visual effects is anywhere between 30 minutes to one hour per frame, while multiple hours per frame is common for feature films. Some of the IMAX resolution frames required for Devastator, a character in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, took up to 72 hours per frame. How do studios get around this?
