with more and more AI tools hitting we find outselfs a bit dry with performance using mac studios. its so slow
we use macs mostly for the convenience of using parsec as its actually amazing for long distance connections like south africa to europe, its actually workable!
So i am thinking if I buy a linux flame as a burn node - can I just submitt my AI renders as precomps in batch to the linux burn? how about retimes in the timeline?
I have a centralised project server and framestore and looking into switching some flame licenses to flare and flame assist as well down the line
I am not worried about rendering mostly anything else, the macs are super fast for the rest, and if it gets really heavy we use nuke anyhow.
@finn - you need a backburner monitor, and you need backburner servers.
you can do this on prem, you can do this in the cloud, or you can develop a hybrid approach.
you can do this for free(!) by developing your own workflow, or you can develop a professional partnership with a company with broad and comprehensive expertise - @tombox at gunpowder can help you to develop a best of breed experience.
Don’t tell him that i sent you or there might be the idea that I was shilling.
@finnjaeger -yep - setting up backburner is pretty trivial - autodesk made that pretty straight forward, no?
you need help to strategize where you go from here. @tombox is a good connection for you to make since he has covered what you are requesting and beyond.
reach out to him.
