How the Xbox One cloud could help animators, according to Crytek
“There is a lot of research going on.”.
I spent quite a lot of last week listening to various highly intelligent people bang on about the potential benefits of remote processing, aka “the power of the cloud”, at the Develop conference in Brighton, UK. Among these highly intelligent people was Mark Jackson, technical animation director at Crytek – a company that is reportedly undergoing something of a financial meltdown right now. Jackson wasn’t able to comment on these claims on the record, but he was able to say a few things about how Xbox Live’s scalable server support might be of service to animation departments in particular.
