Some RT thought

[muoto]

Hello,

i justed installed the demo version of RT and i would like to share some thoughts (i even dare to say some critics :

- It's seems a great app, saw something similar on lightwave i think some time ago, and it really could help us to set up lights/materials much faster!
- what a pitty you only have 180 seconds to test it ! Turn around your objects a few times, change some materials, and the RT window closes.
- 320x240 resolution... how is it possible to test RT properly with this resolution ? In real life, i suppose you use it at least at 800x600
- on my dual quad 64bit 8gb ram, it's still pretty slow at 320x240, even with a basic scene, so i can't imagine it with larger scene, and bigger resolution
- is it worth 499 euros ?

Bye !

We realize the demo is somewhat limited; hopefully we will be able to get out a less restrictive demo version later on.

As for it being slow - that depends on what machine you have. You can also use additional machines for DR to speed it up (we have tested it with up to 9 machines in total). Of course, it is likely that it will get faster.

As for whether it is worth the price - wouldn't know about that, but it certainly took a lot of time and developing efforts.

Best regards,
Vlado

I bought it yesterday after trying out the demo.
Depending on your rates it will pay for itself an a matter of days by saving you the time waiting for the usual testrenderings when setting up light, materials and reflections.

First of all, i am not really complaining or whatever.
I use vray everyday, and i would'nt be able to work without it, and i make mostly my living out of 3d renderings. Vray is the best renderer speed/quality/support/forum i know !

I have a dual quad core dell t5400 (2xxeon 2.66ghz), which i would'nt call that slow

I just noticed that a reseller makes a 50% deal on RT if you have allready a vray licence, which makes it cheap ! I just bought a licence ! Vlado, you earn the money, no doubt !
