same day! for me

[stevesideas]

Got mine today Havent had a chance to play with it yet...The scenes that were featured on the demo video..are they not available to download ?

[mcvltd]

They should be installed automatically - hunt for them in your documents folder somewhere.

[instinct]

The demo scenes are. I assume Steve was referring to the showcase vids shown on vray.info/the product page tho. Wich were created by 3rd parties and are not necessarily available if i am not mistaken

[stevesideas]

Yeah, i was refering to those...i guess thats why they arent included.

Were those vids showing realtime simulation with interaction ? Im asking because I have an i7 920 and the speed of Phoenix is very slow even on a simple scene compared to those vids

[stevesideas]

2 more things...I cant access the Phoenix forum and I can also see that someone else has a problem with the cpu threads. At the moment Phoenix is only using 22% with no interaction.

[vlado]

The CPU usage is normal; the algorithm that Phoenix uses does not allow for efficient multithreading, but it is still very fast. The actual frame time depends on your grid resolution, and some other scene-specific things.

You should be able to post on the Phoenix forum now.

Best regards,

Cheers..will check the forum in a sec. So, what about if I update my graphics card to something used in the demo...the 480 GTX, would that make a difference as I did read that it can use the gpu also.. ?
