![]() With technology like Supermicro’s high-performance and multinode servers, which are powered by AMD’s EPYC processors, artists get high core counts, maximum throughput-and fast rendering. Not only do large files take time to process, they also burn a lot of energy – and that all translates into production costs and production schedule holdups. With tight production timelines and short deadlines, keeping quality high while producing work quickly requires slashing the time it takes to generate complex visual effects. New possibilities for rendering and storage Actors no longer have to look at a green screen, but can actually see and interact with the background around them – an evolution of the tech side of visual storytelling. With real-time virtual environments, a sunset can last for 10 hours, or an actor can be transported from the Gobi Desert to the Antarctic via virtual production, on the same stage. Higher core counts in a denser space, with higher clock speeds, deliver significantly more processing power than ever before, making high-end workloads for in-camera visual effects accessible from anywhere, at any time. ![]() Virtual production has also opened up tremendous creative opportunities for filmmakers, because virtualization removes the limitations of physical sets and locations, opening up diverse and imaginative worlds with more complex geometry, larger scenes – because bigger media files are now possible – but still enjoying faster loading on the production side. Studios are realizing not only cost savings, but creative teams are able to source the best of talent anywhere. Seamless collaboration calls for powerful virtual machines or servers that can be provisioned and scaled up or down as required – which also leads to greater efficiency, optimized production workflows and resource utilization. Remote production became key, allowing hundreds of collaborators across the country (and the globe) to come together to keep making movies and television. The pandemic couldn’t shut down the media and entertainment (M&E) industry entirely. An evolutionary leap in virtual production Here’s a look at how this technology is not only transforming popular franchises but has changed how the entertainment industry works. Advances in rendering and storage enable more complex visual effects and speeds up production timelines and time-to-market, plus gives creatives the tools they need to tell the stories they imagine.Ĭompanies like Supermicro are developing next-generation rackmount servers to reduce render times, advanced workstations to enable better collaboration and storage solutions that move data faster and more efficiently, with powerful processor innovation from AMD. Today virtualization not only removes the limitations of physical sets and locations, but aids collaboration and optimizes production workflows and resource utilization. Advanced chips and servers from companies like AMD and Supermicro have opened up the possibilities for visual effects and virtual production. ![]() The last three to five years have seen a massive transformation in how movies can be made with virtual production. In this VB Spotlight, you’ll learn how it empowers art and creativity, how these advances are driving innovation, with a dive into recent examples. Media and entertainment has been irrevocably changed by virtual production technology, enabled by advanced chips and CPUs.
