Deep-Dive: Phase III RNDR Update

A closer look at Phase III and a recap of the RNDR Network’s development trajectory.

It’s been almost a year since our team began development on the RNDR Network. The goal is to build an open decentralized network that democratizes the tools and services artists need to produce advanced photorealistic computer graphics and holographic media.

Looking back on the process that guided this project, Jules Urbach, OTOY founder and CEO, stated:

“Our vision when we first began this journey was to scale and democratize rendering, creating more efficient processes, and to reach not only high-power Hollywood studios, but also everyday content creators who might not otherwise have access to this technology. ”

Right now, we’re half-way through Phase III of our roadmap, which will conclude with a completed Beta on Ropsten (Ethereum Testnet Environment) and the V1 launch of the RNDR Network on Ethereum’s Mainnet. This version will come with streamlined back-end processes and full automation of the rendering-streaming flow through smart contracts and blockchain technology.

In addition to the progress made during Phases I to III, our team gained valuable insights on the most challenging aspects of the project. With this input and the main milestones for the last part of the year in mind, our team has an updated roadmap with detailed technological and platform milestones outlined.

As initially planned, Phase III was set for Q3 and Q4 2018. After evaluating the current state of the development, we are pleased to announce that we will maintain the set date for Phase III as set out in 2017. We have broken up Phase III into four stages with specific objectives attached to each stage, allowing us to methodically complete this phase of development. The stages will be named as follows:

Phase 3-A

Phase 3-B

Phase 3-C

Phase 3-D

As Testnet development continues and more users join our beta, we believe that having our community aligned and informed on our latest advances is absolutely essential.
