Changing over to GPU Rendering - Conversion Advice?

[BKE]

@vlado

Hi Vlado,

Yes, I’m very much looking forward to the Color Correction and mix maps improvements in 2.4. …And I have recently done some work with the Displace modifer and RT GPU. No, it isn’t the same thing, but yes, it can work pretty dang good if you beat on it hard enough.

Unfortunately, the procedural map I use the most is, in fact, the Noise and noise-derived maps. With GPU I have been using various large noise bitmaps that I created in Max before-hand. They work just fine, but just not as convenient as having them done on the fly of course.

But it’s not a deal-breaker for me, and speed is king in GPU, so if the noise map it’s slowing everything down, I can continue (and will advise GPU users I know) to use the pre-made noise bitmaps. I’ll have quite a collection of them before long!

Thanks for everything,

-Alan

Thank you, Vlado & Alan for the things to consider - and to look forward to!
Best,
