36 Octocore RENDERFARM UCD CAM by Urz Truly




Hi all,

I'm a fulldome content producer and with that title comes a lot of computer and render farm technology. Tonight I spent from 8pm-9pm breaking my largest render farm record of 26 Apple Octo Cores to 36 Octo Cores in the Technology Building at the University of Colorado College of Arts and Media. My knowledge of how to do this type of business came from a Undergraduate Research Opportunities Grant I received from University of Colorado College of Arts and Media with Bryan Leister in 2007. Since the Grant I have become very savvy with the work flow of getting fulldome content from concept to rendering then processing it to show on the dome. I have to thank Dan Neafus Gates Planetarium Operations director for the support and creating a Planetarium Research position for me at Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Having one of the most advanced planetariums in the world place to test fulldome content on is definitely a privilege. This is a picture I took of the 36 clients of the renderfarm. Any questions contact Timmy Edens timmy@arisontime.com This is how I roll, haha... :) ARISONTIME INSPIRE.CREATE.IMMERSE 303-478-8068 timmy@arisontime.com
