Is the technology ready for television/film production in place of
render
farms? No - it currently lacks the power and flexibility that years of
development have imbued in general purpose software renderers. Will it
reach
that point in the foreseeable future? Highly likely - but that won't
eliminate products such as trueSpace, Maya, SoftImage, etc. - after all
their true purpose is content creation, i.e. providing a user interface
and
tools to generate the data that is passed to the renderer, a need that
will
still exist - but I'll bet the people behind LightWorks, mentalRay, etc.
are
casting more than a casual glance over their shoulder...
