Lenovo recently announced that DreamWorks Animation has selected the company as its preferred workstation innovation partner to deliver the “high-end” power and performance needed to bring its next animation feature films to life.
This PC collaboration further strengthens the companies’ partnership, as it expands upon the technology leader’s current role as DreamWorks’ data center innovation partner. As part of this multi-year agreement, DreamWorks will deploy Lenovo workstations, including the ThinkStation P620 and ThinkStation P920, across all departments for the development of content and characters, including the highly anticipated release of the studio’s upcoming film, “The Bad Guys.”
The extension of this partnership follows the rollout of a new on-premises Lenovo computing infrastructure designed that is said to transform DreamWorks’ data center into a high-performance, ultra-scalable and sustainable operations center for all of its content creation.
“At DreamWorks, the ability to operate our workflows at the speed of our creative thought process is critical in capturing those instant moments of expression that shape the unforgettable experiences our animators and creative professionals develop. Workstations need to exceed the demands of our artists’ relentless imaginations. Hardware needs to be an enabler; harnessing performance and speed to meet their expectations.” said Bill Ballew, Chief Technology Officer at DreamWorks.
DreamWorks Animation specialists, artists, and engineers alike leverage high-performance compute capabilities from 3D modeling, rigging, surfacing, and simulations to high performance animation and creating hyper-photorealistic renderings. Lenovo’s ThinkStation P620 workstation is built on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO architecture.
