Hi Gary!
Matt told me that you had asked about our newly announced product the Render
Garden/Farm/Jungle!
He copied the messages to a floppy from the Computer we had been using at the
show but I've still to unpack/find it! <G>
Please forgive the lateness of this response.
As were just going in to production I have to meet with everyone concerned so
we can put together more information regarding this outstanding
product/solution.
Here's what we've got so Far:
For those who wish to achieve the productivity improvements provided by
3DS' ability to distribute rendering activity across a network, without
having to purchase numerous PC, wrestle with setting up a network, resolve
network/operating system compatability problems, figure out what to do with the
extra PC's, or coordinate their shared use — Render Garden/Farm/Jungle
provides the solution in uniquely engineered box inclusive of all the hardware
and software necessary to plug and play. IT REALLY WORKS and the productivity
gains are REAL.
AM Labs is an animation shop company that is part of a larger company
(DC Systems, Inc.) that had the hardware/software engineering expertise to
develop this product for us. It was initially built to meet our need for a
faster and cheaper rendering capability without having deal with the problems
listed above. We use it and it did solve our problems. We are now providing it
to others. Still working out pricing details however we anticipate entry level
price will be approximately $20,000 (5 486 66mhz system with 2.5 GB HD). For
more information call and details about the product call.
