Autodesk Debuts Flame on the AWS Cloud for Scalable, Collaborative, and Efficient Artist Workflows

Creative COW: Autodesk’s Flame Family of products now runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), empowering creative teams to deliver professional-grade content fast and securely, virtually from anywhere. Flame on the cloud debuts in a feature-rich update to Autodesk Flame, Flare, and Flame Assist, along with enhanced HDR and animation workflows to help artists achieve high-end VFX that exceed client and audience expectations.

This is super interesting! I will say I am always a little bit wary when big companies merge because monopolies like this have created the insanely expensive autodesk and adobe softwares that are now standard in the industry. I think that it is cool, however, for companies like Preymaker “Embracing a fully cloud-based VFX workflow enables creative studios like Preymaker, an early pioneer and adopter of Flame on AWS cloud, the ability to recruit talent from around the world. Preymaker is all about having the finest talent using the best technology, and running Flame in AWS allows us to recruit and work with exceptional talent who live anywhere.” This is really exciting for the future of remote work, and I’m interested in where it takes us. Especially because Autodesk’s Flame Family of products can now be run on the AWS cloud, offering a scalable and secure work environment with a wide selection of compute and storage services. Teams gain access to powerful, modern hardware without requiring additional CapEx to purchase new on-premise workstations.
