  3. Presentation Outline • Introduction • Hardware and software components • Typical steps in a render job • Renderjob Demo • Technical details • Future directions XW11

  4. Animation Showreel XW11

  5. Why build a renderfarm ? • Rendering animation is a processor intensive, time consuming job • Students spend less time waiting for renders to finish • Review work sooner -> make changes quicker or start new stuff • Help prepare students for working in industry XW11

  6. XW11

  7. Hardware NOW - 2011 THEN - 2006 • 30 MacPro Intel 8 Cores • 46 PowerMac G5 Quad cores 3.2 GHz, 26 GB RAM 2.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM • 3 dedicated render boxes • 19 Xserve G5 cluster nodes MacPro Intel 12 Cores dual-processors 2.66 GHz, 24GB RAM 2.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM • total cores - 276 • total cores - 222 • 2 Intel Xserves • 1 G5 Xserve • Promise VTrak RAID • w XRaid attached 3 x 6TB volumes 1.35 TB disk space XW11

  8. http://www.studiosysadmins.com/blogs/2009/dec/01/starz-animation-network-storage-overview

  9. Software 2 main pieces of software : • Maya 2011 from Autodesk Inc. • Rush Network Render Queue from Seriss Corp/ Greg Ercolano Others : • Fcheck, Apple Remote Desktop, OS X Server, OS X 10.6 XW11

  10. Typical steps in a render job • Students create animation scenes using Maya (1-2 minute short animation typically has multiple scenes/ camera shots) • Copy project directory to Renderfarm volume. Project dir includes scene files, sourceimages, textures, and more. • Submit job to Rush render queue XW11

  11. • Rush daemon on submit mac sends job to renderjob controller • Renderjob controller distributes frames to available macs • Rush daemon on each machine launches maya cmd line renderer • Maya renders in the background ie. while macs are sitting at login window XW11

  12. • Macs not available to render if student is logged in • Rendered frames written back to renderfarm volume (incrementally) • Students can monitor and manage job progress using irush application XW11

  13. Live Demonstration XW11

  14. Rush • manages distributed rendering, compositing, and other command line capable software (eg. 3D Studio Max, After Effects, Softimage, Houdini, Renderman) • can work on small or large networks of Linux, Mac, or Windows machine. • we ʼ ve tried cross platform rendering - mixed success XW11

  15. Rush cont … • Our experience with Rush - • great technical support over 5+ years • extensive documentation & FAQs • Have not had any compelling reason to change • Check out the website http://seriss.com/rush/ XW11

  16. It ʼ s even won an Academy Award ! : http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/ 2011/20110107.html XW11

  17. OS X modifications • NFS Renderfarm volume to prevent file permissions issues • StartupItems script to mount NFS volume • Login & Logout Hooks take Rush offline & online � (no rendering while students logged in) XW11

  18. Live Demo cont …. XW11

  19. Alternative render systems • Alternatives we looked at : • Qmaster • DrQueue - needs X11 and Fink • X Grid - not specialised enough • And others … XW11

  20. The future ... Renderfarm continues to evolve • Other types of rendering - 3DS Max ? • web interface to monitor and manage jobs • digital architecture - increasing need for 3D rendering • animation undergrad degree starting next year • new student lab, more dedicated render boxes XW11

  21. Questions ? XW11
