Elara – Cloud Pipeline
With the announcement at NAB 2017, Foundry has set high expectations for the new pipeline infrastructure. Elara is a service for post-production that centralises the entire VFX pipeline in the cloud. Users should have fast and flexible access to organisation, VFX tools, storage and cloud rendering functions via a web browser. This presentation will introduce the features of Elara and show an example project from Inverse Normal. A limited release is expected at the end of 2017, with a full release in early 2018. Exact dates for this are not yet known. You can find more information about Elara here.
