Hornet supercharges render capacity with AWS

Hornet, a creative studio specializing in animation and visual effects, has leveraged AWS to transform its render infrastructure and production workflow.

• Deployed a cloud-based render farm using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances
• Integrated AWS Thinkbox Deadline for render management
• Enabled scalable, flexible rendering with usage-based licensing
• Improved render capacity and turnaround times for commercial projects
• Planning to expand to GPU-based virtual artist workstations

By moving to AWS, Hornet gained the ability to quickly scale compute resources, reduce infrastructure costs, and accelerate creative iterations without significant on-premises hardware investments.
