Rise VFX renders at Polargrid in Boden, Sweden

Boden, Sweden, Sept. 26 2022, One of Europe’s largest VFX houses, RISE Visual Effects

Studios of Berlin, commissioned Polargrid to render large portions of a current project in

Boden, Sweden.

Converting 3D data and surface features into photorealistic, two-dimensional images is time

and computationally intensive. For the current production, 40 servers with a total of 10TB of

RAM and 3840 AMD EPYC 7642 cores worked around the clock for seven weeks to render

the images.

Robert Pinnow, who won an award in the VFX category in 2018 for his work on the first

season of Babylon Berlin, comments:

„The low cost and the ability to render on our desired configuration is something we’ve

wanted to take advantage of for a while. Now we finally had the right project to work on with

Polargrid. We were able to fully integrate the computers there into our systems and started

to monitor the rendering as if it were all on-site. The fact that we could render with green

energy at Polargrid, just like at our German sites, was also a big plus.“

Polargrid offers professional rendering services based on the needs of its customers. For

larger render jobs, up to 30,000 CPU cores are available.

The city of Boden in Sweden proved to be an ideal location for Polargrid due to its climatic

conditions. There is a friendly climate for film productions, game developers or VFX creators

because the Boden Business Agency welcomes them to settle here. The region also has an

Arctic climate, which is ideal for air-cooled data centers.

Both aspects played a key role for Polargrid in selecting its data center operator, Turis AB.

Turis AB, as a specialist in data processing and storage solutions, ensures smooth operation

of the render farm with its infrastructure. Turis AB purchased the Boden Type DC One

(BTDC One) in 2020, which was developed as part of the European Horizon 2020 project as

a concept for data centers of the future. The BTDC One is a new holistic approach to data

centers. It incorporates temperature-controlled fresh air cooling, the use of green energy and

a modular building design. It is considered one of the most cost- and energy-efficient data

centers in the world.

In the meantime, Turis AB has expanded its data park with three more buildings based on

the same concept. Thus, the former EU project ( https://bodentypedc.eu/) has been

successfully commercialized.
