Visual Effects Multiplier: Wylie Co. Goes All in on GPU Rendering for 24x Returns
NVIDIA News, Wednesday, August 9,2023
Studio known for visuals in Oscar-winning Dune, Marvel titles, HBO and Netflix work also scores a 10X reduction in energy consumption.
Visual effects studios have long relied on render farms - vast numbers of servers - for computationally intensive, complex special effects, but that landscape is rapidly changing.
High silicon and energy costs at these server facilities, which can be restricted in performance gains by Moore's law, cut into studio profits and increase production time.
To avoid those challenges, Wylie Co. - the visual effects studio behind Oscar-winning Dune, Marvel titles, HBO and Netflix work - is going all in on GPU rendering.
