SplutterFish announced that Frantic Films has placed a large order for Brazil r/s, SplutterFishs award-winning 3D rendering suite, to be the primary rendering backbone in its new large-scale production pipeline. Early Brazil r/s adopter Frantic Films will increase its reliance on Brazil r/s based on its own in-house benchmark testing.
We have a large render-intensive project where raytracing speed is paramount, said Chris Bond, president of Frantic Films. Looking ahead to this project and the huge increase in our render farm, we tested all of the top renderers. In our extensive tests on next generation 64-bit platforms, Brazil consistently came ahead of the pack in the lowest dollars per rendered second, and couple this with top-line fidelity, ease of use and reliability, Brazil is the clear winner. Brazil is also flexible enough to depend on it for a variety of projects used alongside a diverse set of tools, which is critical for our operation.
Brazil r/s is relied on by top CG studios from every corner of the industry for its ability to handle their most demanding shots reliably, cost-effectively and with the highest-quality output.
We are pleased that Frantic Films has selected Brazil for the next stage of their companys growth, added Scott Kirvan, ceo of SplutterFish. Frantic is a cutting-edge, technically-savvy production studio and its meticulous testing of hardware and software clearly demonstrate that for true production rendering, Brazil has the highest return-on-investment of any renderer on the market.
Brazil r/s is designed by and for production professionals as a powerful, flexible and affordable high-end rendering solution for film, broadcast, architecture and other cross-visualization applications.
