This is the first time i came across the word rendering. So what is Rendering actually?

If I understand correctly in simple words rendering is the process of creating photorealistic images from 2D or 3D models. Today rendering is used in animation, film production, construction and architecture, surgery and dentistry, etc. But is it really so far, if it is so in demand, that there are no worthy companies rendering rendering? What is the advantage of Leonardo?

Basically none right now! They are just another ICO trying to grab money. Unless they manage to land every single AAA animation studio out there to use their "Revolutionary" app for rendering. Most of the GPUs listed on the software will be sitting idle. Plus it doesn't make any sense to me why Any AAA Animation studio would use them in the first place. If they are going to pay $11,000 for an hour of rendering. Imagine the Scene of "Frozen (Castle Scene) " which took 72 hours to render will cost them $792,000. Also, keep in mind There are some effects which only CPUs can compute. So this "rendering" will be only effective for scenes which take advantage of GPUs mostly.

Plus they have failed to respond to my previous question, which makes me believe they are here to just grab the money.

Thank you for the comment!

We are not sure where this $11K comes from but thisd is the answer:

Agree. The AAA animation studios require a lot of memory for their renderings, so far they use CPU rendering on own render farms but revolution is comming with hardware like 24GB or even 32GB on GPU card. The best example is new RenderMan V22 with hybrid engine and ability to offload the hard tasks to GPU. Pixar is looking into the future, toward GPU. GPU rendering is already a large market and it's share will only grow in the future.

Best,
