In future, Pixomondo will manage its rendering with one software package – and has acquired 500 licences for Deadline from Thinkbox.

Pixomondo, which has locations in Munich, Los Angeles, Burbank, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Beijing, Shanghai and Toronto wants to use Deadline everywhere. Pixomondo has recently worked on Sucker Punch, and Dast and Furious 5, among others.

The package produced by Thinkbox Software manages render farms and distributed networks, and is one of the few packages available for Windows, Linux and Mac. This means that when capacity is fully utilised, capacities at the Other locations can be switched on – and all available rendering power can be used optimally.
