actually for rendertimes it’s even worse. ‘cumulative calculation times’ per frame used to be 4-6 hours – around LOTR they went up to 24-48hrs. For Transformers 2,3 they were approaching a week. (just a few figures I kept in memory)
Hardware is getting increasingly powerful, but demands get more and more complex on all fronts while delivery times get shorter. Moore’s law is not enough to result in a status quo. Even renderfarms growing considerably might not be enough. From: Simon Pickard Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 10:12 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: test. Talking of frame rates... I'd love to see a graph of all the major films since Jurassic Park and the frame rate of their rigs. Think it would be pretty interesting, and wonder how consistant it would be? Same for render times. I guess the more powerful the computers the more we throw at them. On 19 April 2012 17:35, <pete...@skynet.be> wrote: but they can make it cheaper.
