COBRA, EAGLE, PHOENIX, WOLF.

Introducing our beastly render farm. Animals. Get it? So what if the Phoenix is a mythical creature. It’s still as majestic and seemingly dangerous as the others. It may be small now with ony 4×4 core dedicated machines, but it’s uber satisfying to hit render and watch the buckets do their beastly dance. So since it’s a PC render farm we thought it should have a theme befitting its character; power with an element of the unexpected… and danger! Some would rather have had no PCs in the office at all. Some would say that they detract from the elegant aesthetic of the rows of Apple G5’s, but not us. Nope. Plus we’d never get our 3D MAX scenes rendered… We could have called it SPAM, WORM, TROJAN and PHISH, but that’s just crazy.
