Environment and Character Production with FlexRap Rendering
Rendering realistic films, commercials, or stylized animations is a critical part of production. While major production companies and studios can afford expensive hardware for Render Farms, small studios and freelancers need innovative solutions to achieve high-quality content within reasonable timeframes and budgets.
Even though renting hardware on Render Farm websites is an option for small studios and freelancers, it remains costly and significantly raises production expenses.
The Flexible Rapid (FlexRap) Rendering solution utilizes both Unreal Engine’s near-real-time rendering and DCC applications like Maya and V-Ray to deliver 4K or HD resolution with speed and quality that rivals large production companies. Some of the most challenging aspects of rendering include handling complex scenes, skin subsurface scattering, hair, vegetation, numerous lights, and noise-free dark regions. The rendering examples below demonstrate impressive results, with quick rendering times (under 10 seconds per frame) and Kodak 2838-based color grading to achieve a cinematic look. This color grading helps create vibrant, true-to-life images that evoke specific emotions and convey meaning.
Rendering in under 10 seconds per frame is incredibly impressive when producing minutes of content at the common frame rate of 30 frames per second (FPS).
