RUMBLE VFX CASE STUDY
“We make it a mission to keep on top of the latest developments and have gravitated to a few core applications. In 3D we’re primarily running SideFX’ Houdini which is a great one-stop shop for heavy VFX work, but it is resource thirsty. We run The Foundry’s Nuke pretty much exclusively for compositing and all the peripheral software you would expect, like Photoshop, Premiere and PFTrack. We found Redshift works best for us for rendering, coming out at about four minutes a frame, which is faster than anything else we’ve found.
“Just before setting up Rumble VFX I built a really powerful workstation at home which worked beautifully. I always wanted to build a PC from scratch. I’d never done it before. Back then you could easily source the component parts, which has become increasingly difficult over the past year.
“We built our first four machines and since then, as the business has grown, we’ve bought from suppliers. We run off a Synology NAS rack system on prem with about 160 terabytes of working storage, which we bought in our first week.”
The New Workstations
“Earlier this year, we needed three more high-spec machines with high-performance CPU, lots of cores, a good fast solid graphics card with lots of video RAM and plenty of disc space. Our first port of call for new kit is always Matt Seal, now at Altered Images, so we asked him what was available. We’ve known Matt for some time and he’s an asset to the company. He doesn’t come across as a salesman. I don’t even know if he is one. Matt suggested we looked at the Proline as well as quoting for the other vendors you might expect.
“On paper the Proline Media Workstations ticked all the boxes that we were looking for. Exacta Technologies turned them around very quickly. It was at most two to three weeks from order. Richard Costin had them up and running within a day and they just fit straight into our system.
“Because we don’t have that many workstations, it’s important that what we have are reasonably pokey. Having decent rendering and graphics is a priority. We went with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. They’re not just our user machines but also contribute to our render farms so that we can get more rendering completed overnight.
“We’ve had no problems, no issues. We’ve got a couple of users on them as we’re talking. The chap over there is working on one building shots for the next season of The Crown. I’ve not heard him once complain, and he’s quite the complainer!
“The Proline workstations fit in very neatly and we would buy them again.”
The PL-Media Workstation is fully customisable and optimised to the application. Positioned within our mid range, the PL-Media balances the commercial outlay with power and grunt required in VFX and Post.
