ARTVPS squeezes production time for Tangerine

Rendering technology from ARTVPS, a world leader in 3D visualisation solutions, is helping production companies render truly photorealistic 3D images three times faster and more efficiently with its unique mental ray solution, RenderServer.  

 

Specialising in high end film and video based corporate productions for the motor industry, Tangerine Films has broadened its production expertise into the fields of automotive commercials and 2D and 3D creative visualisation.  Based at Pinewood Studios in London, the company recently selected RenderServer, ARTVPS’ dedicated mental ray rendering solution, to create photorealistic images and production quality 3D animations for clients including Jaguar.

 

Curtis Randall at Tangerine said, “One of the projects we are currently working on requires 15 seconds of photorealistic animation for every car in the manufacturer’s line-up. With RenderServer, we were up and rendering in minutes with the easy to use MR-RP File Manager, and with each frame taking just two minutes, we can now render three times faster than with our previous solution”.

Incorporating leading-edge technology from ARTVPS and mental images^®, RenderServer features dual core processing functionality to provide a powerful, scalable platform for faster rendering. As a network rendering solution, RenderServer’s unique front panel IP configurator and web based user interface provides a plug and play, drag and drop workflow allowing users to view and manage multiple rendering jobs from any workstation on their network

 

Continuing Randall said, “With our old setup, we would have had difficulties rendering large images, some of which can be 10,000 pixels square or more. With RenderServer we can simply input any resolution we require and be comfortable knowing that RenderServer will crunch through it, creating great looking images every time, at lightening speed. What would have taken us overnight to render, can now be done in a few hours.”

Brian Tyler, CEO at ARTVPS said, “With tighter deadlines and higher client expectations to meet, users need tools that not only increase their output capabilities, but also integrate seamlessly into today’s increasingly complex production pipelines. RenderServer slots into the production workflow with a minimum fuss and set up time, and as a dedicated mental ray^® platform, delivers the fastest rendering speeds available without compromising on quality. RenderServer allows companies to take full advantage of their 3D production resources and capitalise on the associated financial benefits.”

 

RenderServer includes a 64-bit version of mental ray^® standalone software and advanced RenderPipe material library, providing seamless integration with Autodesk’s 3ds Max and Maya.
