Exponential-e, a provider of cloud and computing services, has stated that Jellyfish Pictures is the first VFX firm in Europe to use the cloud for almost real-time rendering.

With Exponential-e's network of virtual graphics processing, the team at Jellyfish was able to render scenes up to 80 times faster, the company states. A single frame was able to be rendered in 34 seconds, instead of 2,700. The solution used compliant engines such as Vray RT, iRay, 3ds Max and Maya.

“This new method of rendering cements Exponential-e’s commitment to the media industry and will make British VFX companies even more competitive in the bid process for contracts” said Lee Wade, CEO of Exponential-e. “One of the VFX industry’s most pressing challenges is the amount of time needed to render frames, generally rendering can take several hours, sometimes days – even when making the smallest changes to footage. Using the Exponential-e’s Cloud, VFX companies can deliver greater production efficiencies without sacrificing creative excellence, taking the industry to new heights.”
