Inside the "Megamind" - a few facts

Another cartoon blockbuster rolled through cinemas around the world. DreamWorks studio Megamind took first place in ratings, set several records, hit us all with quality graphics. And so on and so forth - no one expected anything else from DreamWorks. But let's now say a little about the technical side of the cartoon in the genre “I will be brief”:

• Megamind was the first DreamWorks picture made in HDR (High Dynamic Range) format. This, in fact, is a large proportion of "unusual" pictures
  
  
  
  
• the number of characters "extras" exceeded 1 million - a kind of psychological bar for the industry
  ')
  
  
  
• 320 costumes were modeled (complex models with their own physics, not just textures on top of the characters) - compare with the 138th in the last Shrek
• 700,000 water droplets modeled according to the laws of physics took part in the rain scene
• working data took 179 TB on the studio disks
• rendering the cartoon took 54 million hours of CPU time

And then HP? With that for many years, DreamWorks makes HP come up with new solutions for its growing challenges. As a result of the work on “Megamind”, the name of HP Z800 workstations even appeared a plus sign - HP Z800 +. And this is a “plus” to the 6-core Intel Xeon 5650, up to 192 GB of RAM and nVidia Quadro FX - a full list of options here .
