SIX STEPS launches, www.renderingfox.com, India's first Cloud Render Setup, for all animators and animation studios. GET USD 20/- (INR 1100) on free registration..
Rendering: a animators nightmare. Its the most time consuming and expensive part of the project process and requires heavy computer processing to complete. Many studios and animators are unable to work on multiple projects and speed up project delivery because of this bottleneck. Increasing the number of workstations is not a feasible option because of the heavy costs involved. A single high end workstation may cost upto Rs. 1,00,000/-!!! Not to mention the cost of software, maintenance, wear and tear of machine and electricity involved. The investment in such machines is a major deterrent and rightly so, as many a times the investment to returns are not justified. Studios and animators prefer to work on available machines and lose crucial time and have long delivery schedules, a reason why many talented artists and studios have being unable to scale.
As a Industrial animaion firm, Six Steps faced similar issues of scaling and decided to do something that will benefit the entire animation Industry.
