Connor and Sami are joined by Jules Urbach, CEO of OTOY and Founder of Render, and Trevor Harries-Jones, COO of OTOY and Director at Render Network Foundation. The Render Network is the first decentralized GPU rendering platform, empowering artists to scale GPU rendering work on-demand to high performance GPU nodes around the world. Through a blockchain marketplace for idle GPU compute, the network provides artists the ability to scale next-generation rendering work at fractions of the cost and at orders of magnitude increases in speed when compared to the centralized GPU cloud. OTOY Inc. is the definitive cloud graphics company, pioneering technology that is redefining content creation and delivery for media and entertainment organizations around the world.
Jules and Trevor discuss the moment when artists first discover how useful the Render Network can be, how the Render Network is currently powering highly demanding projects on the world’s premier stages (like The Sphere in Las Vegas), whether our mobile devices will someday be nodes on the Render Network, and the future of immersive entertainment.
