Start-up gets animated after just three months

Ambitious Cork start-up Rendicity has set out to disrupt the global animation industry and achieve revenues of €25m within five years.

Employing a staff of two, it launched on the market three months ago offering cloud-based services which give animation studios the necessary processing power to create realistic and visually rich movies.

Rendicity’s software is used to convert 3D animation models to the 2D images required to create a moving picture in a process called rendering. Rendicity chief executive Theo Lynn, who is also a professor, says its cloud-rendering service is “quicker, more cost-effective, easier to use, and more secure than traditional rendering”.
