Twin Pines updates its audiovisual Trigital infrastructure to increase performance El estudio de efectos especiales digitales Twin Pines ha actualizado su equipamiento audiovisual con una renovada infraestructura de almacenamiento, nuevas aplicaciones de dise o y producci n, y 12 estaciones de trabajo HP. Todo ello ha sido suministrado por Trigital que tambi n ha redise ado la arquitectura de red.
Con objeto de dar respuesta a las necesidades que demanda el mundo cinematogr fico, donde cada vez se precisan un mayor n mero de efectos especiales para la realizaci n de todo tipo de pel culas, la empresa de postproducci n digital con sede en Madrid Twin Pines ha decidido actualizar su equipamiento audiovisual y, de esta forma, poder afrontar proyectos cada vez m s grandes.
The company Trigital se ha encargado de la consultor a inicial, instalaci n, ingenier a, formaci n y el soporte de todo el equipamiento audiovisual que se ha instalado en Twin Pines y que integra una soluci n SAN de almacenamiento compartido, 12 estaciones de trabajo de HP, as como el software Autodesk Maya, Nuke de The Foundry, Nucoda Look de Digital Vision y Media Composer de Avid. Adem s, ha realizado un completo redise o de la arquitectura de red.
Juanma Nogales, supervisor de VFX en Twin Pines y nominado para los premios Goya a los mejores efectos especiales en 2010 por Tambi n la lluvia y en 2014 por Los ltimos d as, cuenta las necesidades que ten a su empresa a la hora de apostar por este flujo de trabajo. Como en Twin Pines nos movemos por proyectos, necesit bamos contar con una serie de puestos que fuesen modulares, escalables y que pudieran ser muy flexibles para poder sacarles el mayor rendimiento posible. Nos pusimos en manos de Trigital, que tuvo en cuenta esos requerimientos y nos ayud a dimensionar la infraestructura necesaria de la forma m s ptima.
Almacenamiento y conectividad
El coraz n de la nueva infraestructura de Twin Pines es una red de almacenamiento RAID de 50 terabytes con conectividad Fibre Channel que garantiza el acceso a todos los equipos de la red. Tiene un rendimiento extraordinario y permite a todos nuestros colaboradores trabajar de forma simult nea con una excelente velocidad de trabajo, liber ndonos de posibles cuellos de botella , se ala Nogales.
En cuanto a las estaciones de trabajo, Twin Pines opt por la nueva generaci n de workstations HP Z420, Z620 y Z820 que incluye la ltima familia de procesadores Intel Xeon E5-1600v2 y E5-2600v2 (tambi n llamados Ivy Bridge), as como una nueva memoria un 16% m s r pida y gr ficos de ltima generaci n.
Recomendamos HP por la robustez y prestaciones que sus estaciones de trabajo ofrecen a todas las aplicaciones que Twin Pines tiene que utilizar , asegura Mariano Gismero, manager de IT y almacenamiento de Trigital, que es Gold Partner de HP.
Juanma Nogales coincide: Yo ya hab a trabajado con HP anteriormente con sus antiguas estaciones de trabajo de la serie XW, que siempre nos dieron un gran resultado, y de hecho todav a tenemos algunos de esos equipos en funcionamiento a los que les seguimos sacando partido. Pero el rendimiento de la serie Z no tiene comparaci n; es realmente impresionante la cantidad de fotogramas que nos permite sacar por hora cuando trabajamos en 3D, y gracias a eso hemos podido llegar a tiempo a diferentes entregas que de otra forma hubiera sido imposible.
Software de animaci n y producci n
Trigital tambi n instal en Twin Pines el software de composici n digital Nuke de The Foundry. En Kamikaze, la ltima producci n en la que hemos trabajado, nos hemos metido de lleno con el Nuke y la verdad que la potencia y versatilidad que tiene este software son impresionantes , asegura Nogales.
Adem s, Twin Pines se hizo con la soluci n de graduaci n de color Nucoda Look de Digital Vision. Est bamos buscando una soluci n no tanto para hacer color grade, porque ese no es nuestro negocio, sino para un chequeo regular de los renders en alta resoluci n y sin transcodear. Nucoda es un sistema muy sencillo de manejar, tiene mucha capacidad y trabaja muy bien en tiempo real , comenta Nogales.
Finalmente, Trigital instal en Twin Pines el software de animaci n en 3D Maya de Autodesk, el sistema de edici n no lineal Media Composer de Avid para montaje y el sistema de trackeado PFTrack de The Pixel Farm.
Twin Pines ya ha utilizado esta nueva infraestructura audiovisual para los efectos especiales de las pel culas Kamikaze de lex Pina, La herida de Fernando Franco, La vida inesperada de Jorge Torregrossa, Los ltimos d as de lex Pastor y David Pastor, Carmina y am n de Paco Le n, Heli de Amat Escalante y Welcome to Harmony de Miguel ngel Vivas.
