Open Rendering Environment

Introduction

While larger animation firms like Pixar and Dreamworks have massive computers to speed up the process of creating and animating 3D images, independent artists rarely have access to the same tools. Open Rendering Environment (ORE) helps level the playing field, allowing artists with smaller budgets to add digital muscle to their work, too. By sharing the intense burden of 3D rendering, volunteers help slash the processing time for complex jobs from several months to a few days. This huge boost in productivity means that more people can enter, and begin to transform, the realm of modern animated filmmaking.

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]
