Challengers Will Have Access To The ‘AMD Creator Cloud’ Powered by AMD EPYC™ Processors with AMD 3D V‑Cache™ Technology on Microsoft Azure, Helping to Fulfill Their Creative Dreams

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD), along with Pix­ar Ani­ma­ti­on Stu­di­os, are announ­cing the latest Rend­er­Man Chall­enge. This chall­enge offers gra­phic desi­gners, artists, and others around the world the oppor­tu­ni­ty to crea­te and achie­ve their cine­ma­tic visi­ons with Pixar’s RenderMan.

This year, chal­len­gers will recei­ve access to ‘The AMD Crea­tor Cloud,’ a ren­der farm powered by Azu­re HBv3 ins­tances that are com­po­sed of high-per­for­mance AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors with AMD 3D V‑Cache™ tech­no­lo­gy. For the first time, chal­len­gers will be able to use the high-per­for­mance capa­bi­li­ties of AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors, part of ‘The AMD Crea­tor Cloud’, to ren­der their designs using record-set­ting pro­ces­sors. The Rend­er­Man Chall­enge is and the ‘AMD Crea­tor Cloud’ are curr­ent­ly open for submissions.

“Tog­e­ther with tech­no­lo­gy col­la­bo­ra­tors like Pix­ar, we are empowe­ring the next gene­ra­ti­on of crea­tors to bring their visi­on to rea­li­ty,” said James Knight, direc­tor, Media & Entertainment/Visual Effects, AMD. “Pro­vi­ding artists access to the ‘AMD Crea­tor Cloud’ run­ning Pixar’s Rend­er­Man makes this com­pe­ti­ti­on acces­si­ble to many more peo­p­le, allo­wing them to design and crea­te incre­di­bly fast, from any­whe­re inspi­ra­ti­on strikes.”

“With every Rend­er­Man Chall­enge, it’s ama­zing to see how the ent­ries beco­me more sophisti­ca­ted and com­plex every time,” said Dylan Sis­son, Rend­er­Man Digi­tal Artist, Pix­ar. “With the advance­ments we are see­ing in hard­ware and soft­ware, this now allows indi­vi­du­al artists to crea­te images of ever-incre­asing sophisti­ca­ti­on and com­ple­xi­ty. It is a gre­at oppor­tu­ni­ty for chal­len­gers to unleash their crea­ti­ve visi­on with the­se sta­te-of-the-art technologies.”

AMD and Pix­ar Stu­di­os also debut­ed a new film for the AMD ‘tog­e­ther we advance_’ cam­paign, show­ca­sing how Pix­ar, AMD and NASA are coming tog­e­ther to make the Explo­ra­ti­on the­med Rend­er­Man Chall­enge more acces­si­ble and inspiring.
