Introduction to Amazon Nimble Studio and its use cases

In this recipe, we will learn about Amazon Nimble Studio. We will also learn about the use cases of Amazon Nimble Studio.

Recipe Objective - Introduction to Amazon Nimble Studio and its use cases?

The Amazon Nimble Studio is a widely used service and is defined as a fully managed service which enables creative studios to produce visual effects, animation, and interactive content entirely in the cloud. With access to virtual workstations, high-speed storage, and scalable rendering across AWS's global infrastructure, you can quickly onboard and collaborate with artists around the world and create content faster. Amazon Nimble Studio combines virtual workstations powered by Amazon EC2 G4dn instances, NVIDIA GPUs, and Amazon FSx high-speed storage into a single package. It works with Windows and Linux and allows artists to use Amazon Machine Images to work with third-party creative applications and custom software applications (AMIs). AWS also stated that studios can use custom software applications and bring them into Nimble Studio via AMIs. Customers can start with G4dn.xlarge (4 vCPUs, 16GB memory, and an NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU with RTX) for simple tasks and scale up to 64 vCPUs and 256GB memory for larger data sets and simulation workflows. Build on the world's most secure infrastructure, knowing that users will always have control over their data, including the ability to encrypt, move, and manage it. Before it leaves the secure facilities, AWS automatically encrypts all data flowing across the AWS global network at the physical layer and it builds with the highest standard for data security. Granting user permissions, sharing project data, and adding new team members are all made easier with the Nimble Studio portal. Stream pixels instead of data using the NICE DCV remote display protocol to keep the users project data in the cloud and streamline artist collaboration and provides seamless collaboration.

Benefits of Amazon Nimble Studio

  • Instead of weeks, users get their content production pipeline up and running in hours. Nimble Studio's automation and pre-built Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) make setting up virtual workstations, storage, and a render farm a breeze, all while maintaining an artist-friendly user interface (UI) and thus accelerate the cloud transition. Nimble Studio scales users studio to meet business needs across single or multiple locations by automatically configuring AWS services. With virtual workstations, users can add more artists to graphics-intensive projects, use high-speed storage with Amazon FSx, and orchestrate compute resources on an integrated cloud-based render farm with EC2 Spot Instances and thus scale with the project demand. In a matter of minutes, users will be able to bring in remote artists. Make use of the most up-to-date software and hardware to give users their artists and studio the best possible performance. Users can look for and hire the best talent in major content creation markets because of the availability and thus access the global talent users need. There are several costs to consider when setting up virtual streaming workstations. To take the guesswork out of the total cost of ownership, Nimble Studio offers a simplified pricing structure that includes the instance, Elastic Block Store (EBS), and egress charges (TCO) and thus provide simplified workstation pricing.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

This recipe explains Amazon Nimble Studio and Use cases of Amazon Nimble Studio.

Use cases of Amazon Nimble Studio

    • It has a use case of Visual Effects(VFX)

Nimble Studio provides the robust infrastructure you need for even the most complex VFX work, whether users are creating lifelike creatures, immersive environments, or complex simulations.

    • It has a use case of Animation

Nimble Studio offers a content creation pipeline that scales with users needs, from animated shorts and commercials to full-length feature films.

    • It has a use case of Game development

Nimble Studio, in collaboration with AWS Partners Epic Games, Incredibuild, and Perforce, can help users scale your game production pipeline and connect remote teams.
