EnFuzion® Distributed Computing for Render Farms ...

[justinford10jf]

Distributed rendering is a technique for distributing a single render job within a single frame across many computers in a network. There are different approaches of doing this but the main concept is to reduce the render times by dividing different parts of the rendering pipeline and giving each participant different parts of the job.Then get the results and combine them into the final image.for more info google out renderrocket

@justinford10jf so how long would take to render 1 min of effect like in avatar? i mean for example scene with blue bird-lizards flying above water?

@PLAlfa One frame of Avatar took 45 to 48 hours to render and a single second is 24 frames so one minute is 1440 frames and thus one minute would take 69120 hours to render. Divide that between one thousand CPUs (one per frame of animation) and then a minute takes 69.12 hours to render. Tada! The actual number of computer CPUs used to render Avatar has faded from recent memory.
