Of course the power of the Mac Pro is more than one surprise, and the British animation studio & # 39; Lunar animation & # 39; we are different. In a post on his official blog, the company shares the story of how he used early access to the Mac Pro to work on the movie Jumanji: The Next Level.
Lunar animation said that photography is one of the most difficult tasks on a computer, and although many times using a Mac Pro, the new Mac Pro has come as a surprise.
"Since we started the animation studio in 2014, our entire portfolio is based on Mac. However, in recent years it has been more challenging than we would like. With a few updates to the hardware and a restart on the Mac Pro front, things seemed endless. We had a lot of conversations about how eventually we had to go to use PCs " The company mentions on its official blog.
Amazing results with the new Mac Pro
However, the study was fortunate that Apple had given them access to what they described as a Mac Pro mid-range (i.e., which didn't have much higher specifications), and they were surprised to see that the results were going very well. It was a machine with a 3.2 XHz Intel Xeon W processor 3.2 GHz processor, turbo Boost up to 4,4 GHz, 192 GB (6x32GB) of DDR4 ECC memory, 4 TB SSD storage, Apple Afterburner card and the new Pro Display XDR.
When Apple offered them this opportunity, the studio was about to start working on the new movie & # 39; Jumanji: Next Level & # 39 ;, and they were in charge of creating the "Essentials in the Ends", which is the culmination of the movie's indebtedness.
According to the study, Pro Display XDR made a big difference, because it allowed them to see their work as the customer will see in high-end viewers.
But this is not perfect. The texture problems they had with the iMac Pro were no longer working with the new Mac Pro, thanks to the dual-graphics memory, which is now 32GB. In addition the animation team also noticed that the scenes were played in real time without any time saving, something that had not happened with the iMac they used before. Plus, these 21-minute workouts on the iMac Pro, They only took 5 minutes for the new Mac Pro, something really amazing.
