Hi,
I stumbled upon those 2 windows HPC promotional articles today:
http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies...x?casestudyid=
http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies...yid=4000004226
They are filled with marketing tag lines and bigger than life declarations. But basically they are saying that windows HPC allowed them to render quickly. As far as 45% faster... And I quote:
"Glukoza has found that it can complete renderings up to 25 percent more quickly with its Windows HPC solution than with its previous environment. “Plus, we anticipate that we’ll save another 20 percent when we upgrade to Windows HPC Server 2008, due to the additional increase in our efficiency as a result of using the newer product,” says Evdokimov."
Both article talk about using 3dsmax for their rendering. I wonder if vray would also work too and what are the actual benefits that help increase rendering speed by such a factor...
Are they any real benefit for those of us wanting to build a render farm, in using windows HPC? Or are those articles just marketing noise just like all those before/after get slim fast or acne ads. A mix of exaggeration and specific case generalization?
