subject: Factors That Helped Better Cg Rendering [print this page] Today, most of the films are badly depending on Computer Graphics (CG). Why? Thats because CG allows the film makers to have better visual effects and more realistic scenes that are impossible to shoot via camera. For example, lets take the film spider man. Most of the stunts that you see in the film spider man, involving the speedy action of spider-man, are created by CG. It is practically impossible for a director to shoot such action scenes through natural stunts action. But with the help of CG graphics, all the action scenes of spider man looked very real that small children find it hard to discern that it was a CG. It looked so real that people enjoyed watching the movies like anything.
Actually there are lot of hard work and technical man power involved in making computer graphics and animation. CG artist and animators work with film directors simultaneously to have better coordinated and realistic visuals in the films. When compared to the past, making CG has become much easier and quicker. This is the prime reason why there is sudden sharp in the number of 3D action movies, sci-fi adventure movies which involves unimaginable and high speed action scenes. If CG is not there, making of magnificent movies such as avatar, titanic, the mask are not possible. The advancement of CG and Animation helped the film industry to leap towards another level.
Introduction of CG software plays a prominent role in enhancing the usage of CG in films and television. In those days, it took very long duration has CGs in movies and consuming most of the production cost. But after the entry of CG software, it reduced the time taken for creating complex and advanced graphics. The same is with television programs too. Nowadays, many live television programs are having CG works which are done using CG artist with advanced technology. Some ten to twenty years back having dynamic CGs very high impossible.
Evolution and utilization of render farm is another main reason for CG artist to render CG very fast than before. Before the entry of render farm, Computer Graphics were rendered using the stand-alone computer. However, the ordinary computers took very long time rendering the graphics and time increases with level of complexity of the project. But render farm solved this issue and it is a computer with high performance computer built by assembling multiple computers. Render farm also has software installed in it, which is called as render farm software. The purpose of software is to bridge between the users computer and render farm system.
Almost all the CG studios have installed render farm for better CG rendering performance. Nowadays, most of the CG studio owners are seriously thinking about using cloud render service as it allows to use the render farm for rent without actually installing one in their premises Using the cloud render farm service helped the CG artist and CG studios to reduce the investment in CG rendering.
