When Qubits Promise to End Our Rendering Nights
Denmark is building what could be the most powerful quantum computer in the world ⚛️, and although it sounds like science fiction, this could radically change how we do renders, simulations, and 3D calculations. Although for now, we'll keep struggling with Eevee and Cycles.
The (Quantum) Future of 3D
This technology promises:
- Real-time physics simulations
- Complex renders in seconds
- Generative AI for instant procedural content
A revolution that will make our render farms look like typewriters. Although for now, it costs more than all our equipment combined.
Applications That Sound Like Magic... But Are Physics
Researchers envision uses such as:
- Fluid dynamics with billions of particles
- Hyper-realistic atmospheric simulations
- Automatic optimization of 3D scenes
Imagine adjusting subdivisions, lighting, and physics just by thinking about it 🧠. Well, maybe that part is still science fiction... for now.
Meanwhile, in the Real World...
Until quantum computing becomes accessible:
- We'll keep optimizing our scenes
- We'll patiently wait for renders to finish
- And we'll dream of the day when "calculation time" is no longer an excuse
So keep saving for your next GPU, but don't rule out that one day your workstation might have more in common with the Large Hadron Collider than with your current laptop 😉.
