Last August, Maxon made available its Cinema 4D Release 20. As the only rendering service that is scalable to meet the exact needs of even the largest studios, Conductor easily integrates into existing workflows, features an open architecture for customization, provides data insights and can implement controls over usage to ensure budgets and timelines stay on track. Some background on Conductor: it’s a secure cloud-based platform that enables VFX, VR/AR and animation studios to seamlessly offload rendering and simulation workloads to the public cloud. Additional software and plug-in support are in progress, and may be available upon request.
Apps supported by Conductor include Autodesk Maya and Arnold Foundry’s Nuke, Cara VR, Katana, Modo and Ocula Chaos Group’s V-Ray Pixar’s RenderMan Isotropix’s Clarisse Golaem Ephere’s Ornatrix Yeti and Miarmy. Conductor’s intuitive UI and accessible analytics provide a wealth of insightful data for keeping studio budgets on track. Simple to deploy and highly scalable, Conductor is equally effective as an off-the-shelf solution or customized to a studio’s needs through its API.
AWS has the largest and most geographically diverse compute, and the AWS Thinkbox team, which is highly experienced in all facets of high-volume rendering, is dedicated to M&E content production, so working with them was a natural fit,” says Conductor CEO Mac Moore. “We’ve already been running hundreds of thousands of simultaneous cores through Conductor, and with AWS as our preferred cloud provider, I expect we’ll be over the million simultaneous core mark in no time.” “Our goal has always been to ensure that Conductor users can easily access reliable, secure instances on a massive scale. Amazon EC2 instances, including cost-effective Spot Instances, are expected to be available via Conductor this summer. This new capability will provide content production studios working in visual effects, animation and immersive media access to new, secure, powerful resources that will allow them - according to the company - to quickly and economically scale render capacity. Conductor Technologies’ cloud rendering platform will now support Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), bringing the virtual compute resources of AWS to Conductor customers.
