Yeah, the cloud is basically a swarm of tiny services that keep a live map of what the GPU can handle and what the viewer wants to see. They feed data into a scheduler that looks at frame rate, latency, and the current scene load. If it sees a lot of particles coming up, it pulls in more compute nodes, pushes the math to the edge, and keeps the frame smooth. So the “decision” is a mix of real‑time analytics and pre‑planned resource pools, all rolling in a single, invisible pipeline.

You’re right—sometimes a single, well‑timed hit does the trick, but the cloud’s here to make sure the whole sequence never stutters. I’d say the trick is to keep the resource budget tight and the error handling tight enough to turn a glitch into a story beat instead of a breakdown. Keep an eye on the metrics, and you’ll have a smooth stunt double that never turns your hero into a glitchy hologram.
