Abstract

Renders or digital images of high quality and visual effect based on a 3D model or scenes made in a specialized computer program are generated along the chain of realization of animation products. A render is generated from a series of calculations between formulas and algorithms on the model that simulate the bounces of light rays on 3D objects in the scene and software that performs a Raytracing or tracking of the surfaces generated through a virtual camera that is integrated into the process. A 3D superior or production animation product would imply extensive rendering times, which is expressed in project costs per machine use. The carbon footprint of CO2 emissions imply on animation projects has been poorly or non explored, so this document presents an empirical experience that puts on the table a free and efficient alternative to optimize rendering processes in digital animation projects based on local machine adjustment and measurement techniques aimed at reducing carbon footprint, process flow and labor costs.
