Didn’t make it to FMX 2017 this year? Or missed our panel with MPC and Google Cloud? No worries — we filmed it!
As a recap, this May Sohonet headed to
FMX in Stuttgart, Europe’s most influential conference for VFX, Animation, Games & Transmedia. We were joined by the experts behind the Oscar-winning film
The Jungle Book and the Award-winning
John Lewis Christmas Ad as well as Google Cloud.
The panel focused on how VFX Studios such as MPC are utilizing cloud-based rendering tools to reach a level of visual complexity and detail in their work with increasingly tight deadlines. And also how they are benefiting from expanding their compute abilities beyond in-house walls to deal with the dramatic spikes in rendering workloads as deadlines approach.
