What is rendering?

Render is one of the most used terms in framing, Render or rendering is a tool that allows you to perform the final stage to produce a product. So what is rendering? and how to configure it to render? Let's find out with WebTech360 in this article.

Rendering (Rendering) is the process of creating a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image from a model or models by application programs into a 3D image, a cartoon character or a certain movie scene.

In computer graphics, rendering is called "rendering" , or rendering for short. Rendering is one of the main subtopics of three-dimensional computer graphics (3D computer graphics).

What is rendering?

In practice, it is always closely related to other topics. In the ' graphics pipeline ', rendering is the last important step in creating the final look of models and animations. With the increasing complexity of computer graphics, from 1970 to the present, rendering has become a separate topic.

Rendering is used in: computer and video games, in simulations, in movies, or in special effects. ) on TV, and in design visualization, each applying a balance between different features and techniques.

In the graphics processing process, rendering is the most important step to create quality products with beautiful graphics. To render quickly and smoothly, it is necessary to have   powerful graphics-intensive Workstation computers .

Should I use CPU or GPU for rendering?

The rendering process is done mainly thanks to the support from the CPU . But now there have appeared CPU manufacturers that have released a type of graphics chip that also strongly supports this process, which is GPU.

GPU is an electronic chip that functions as a separate processor of a graphics card , used by many people in the graphics field.

One of the famous graphics chip lines today is NVIDIA and AMD / ATI. But NVIDIA is known and used by more people thanks to its product lines: Nvidia Quadro, Tesla, .. Equivalent to Nvidia Quadro that is the professional working ability of AMD's ATI Fire Pro series.

The rendering process requires a significant amount of resources, and the time to render is also different, depending on the model and hardware of different machines.

In  rendering with GPU, it has advantages far beyond CPU in many aspects: speed, product quality after rendering, complexity, flexibility...

What is Render Farm?

Render Farm is a parallel and distributed cluster of computers including a CPU with an internet connection and an operating system, which increases processing power for tasks that a single computer cannot handle.

Render Farm consists of a group of computers connected by communication protocols. Migrate workloads from one overloaded computer to other computers on the team.

This feature is called “load balancing” with the goal of creating a computational and processing network to achieve some desired rendering performance. Thus, the render farm system is able to utilize and distribute idle resources to fill in the gaps.

Some software supports rendering Farm: vray spawmer, Corona DrServer, Octane Daemon, backburner...
