As usual, Pixar is pushing boundaries when it comes to the CGI in Cars 2. Making the film required a render farm containing 12,500 CPU cores. And on average, it took 11.5 hours to render a single frame. [CNET]
Um, that’s impossible.11.5 hrs for 1fame? To that’s over 11 days for 1seconds worth at 24 frames a minutes. At 6000 seconds to render in a 100 minute video. Well, that’s a lot of years, or, 66000 days.
Also probably rendering more than one image at a time, not using the entire render farm for one image. So 11hrs an image but rendered another 50 along side it

Saturday, July 2, 2011 at 1:42 AMYes, how many cores does each worker in the farm have?
If each worker takes 11 hours for one frame, and a worker has say… 16 cores…
That’s actually 781.25 frames in 11 hours
