just took part in the $RNDR token crowd sale, did anyone else get some?(think: Airbnb or Uber for CG rendering) thoughts?
J.J. Abrams is joining the advisory board of OTOY, a cloud graphics company.The Star Wars director is the latest addition to the board, which already includes William Morris Endeavor and IMG co-CEO Ari Emanuel, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and IBM president Samuel J. Palmisano. Abrams will also serve on the board for the company's newest initiative, RNDR. RNDR uses blockchain, the same technology that is at the core of crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, and it could soon be used to render 3D visual effects for Hollywood movies. More simply put, the RNDR network is a community of users pooling their computing power together to allow any artist to render CG images and video at Hollywood-grade levels (think: Airbnb or Uber for CG rendering). Up until now, the biggest differences between a major Hollywood film that uses CG and a young artist is the millions of dollars of servers needed to render complex sequences. RNDR hopes to change this to democratize rendering and for the first time make it affordable and available for all, and Abrams hopes to help transform storytelling by making it a reality.
