V-Ray RT official announcement

[gunny263]

so, if there are two artists and only one 8 core system as an extra render node, what happens when both users try to run activeshade at the same time using the same render node?

The same as what happens with V-Ray DR - only one of them can use the machine at a time.

limited to time and only 15 objects, then it's impossible to test it on a real scene is it really so slow that no one would buy it if they tried a scene with more objects?

I really hope this could be changed, why not just water mark it or something?

I had a 3 million mesh at one time with vray RT on a 32 bit system and it worked fine. Granted on a 64 bit it would be even better. And it was only a 4 core machine that I have.

[Jiri.Matys]

Yes, but one mesh and 100 meshes with a lot of shaders, shadows, reflection is absolutely different.

[MasterBercon]

From rendering point of view there isn't much of a difference between single mesh and multiple meshes. In the end they are generally combined into "single" mesh at render time anyway. Its slightly slower to have multiple object since you have to do transformation for every vertex in the mesh. However this overhead is so small it has very little effect on render times.

Instancing is a slightly different thing, I wonder if VRayRT handles instancing at all? Or does it just collapse them into single mesh at render time?

[MikeeMax]

but scene handling (navigation) is very sensitive to single mesh vs multiple mesh. i wonder how RT deals with that since it involves both rendering and scene handling

so tomorrow is the big Day ?

[Chris-C]

Nope, not yet

[vlado]

The builds are on the site, just not visible yet. We have to test the downloads and then we'll enable the links.
