Applications

3D Modeling and Animation

3D modeling and animation is a common task in any visual effects production. Bringing complicated 3D assets to life onscreen is a tedious process. From a compute perspective, 3D modeling and animation are lightly-threaded tasks and benefit from CPUs with higher frequencies which can help with better viewport frame rates and scene interaction.

 

If you wish to accommodate secondary multi-threaded tasks in your workflow, like rendering and simulation, find the best balance of high core count and high clock speed.

Rendering

The production of today’s feature film visual effects has never been more complex and can be a formidable computational challenge. Rendering is a highly multithreaded task allowing artists to take advantage of workstations with more CPU cores. This can help with reduced render times and increased creative iterations when setting up a scene and rendering previews.

 

If you wish to accommodate single-threaded tasks in your workflow, like 3D modeling and animation, you’ll want the best balance of high core count and high clock speed.

Post-Production

As content creators look to future proof their work, the trend to capture and edit higher resolution footage is on the rise. Professional editors and post-production teams can take advantage of multiple CPU cores when playing back ultra-high-resolution footage as well as when encoding or transcoding.

 

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors with up to 64 cores can help streamline post-production and virtual production workflows.
