Hi all,
I see that new software in the market are usign GPU power.
I think it will be a good idea to implement a feature to use this power for GI or LC o Brute force calculation ( i would like to choose cpu power, gpu power or cpu+gpu power as FRY render will do).
not a Vray RT but “INSIDE VRAY” so we can use our CPU+GPU power togheter.
I think this is the future and that Chaos have to develope this feature VERY QUICK for not to lose clients.
YES, I buy VrayRT ( 1 licence) but it’s not “Inside” vray.
I mean…I cannot have RT without buying Vray. so price= RT+ VRAY. It could be interesting use the normal version of Vray with this new feature and GPU power. this is my WISH
It may be more interesting, but not necessarily successful Right now, the GPU is really only good for unbiased rendering, and even this is with limitations as to the complexity of lighting and materials (not to mention limited GPU memory). Granted, this will change, but for the time being, you will mostly see brute-force unbiased renderers.
“Maxwell Render, Indigo, and a few others are able to do unbiased rendering, and quite frankly, they produce beautiful renders.”
“Unbiased renders usually have very few settings and dials to tweak, since everything works like a real-world camera where, you only focus on things like exposure, f-stop, shutter speed etc.”
I hope when it is available as a GPU version that it can display SSS, displacement and proxies. I don’t think any of these other engines can show that yet. I would settle for the CPU version of RT showing that kind of information. I can guess pretty well at lighting and materials but seeing proxies and displacement is not as easy to visualize in your head and literally takes longer to render. Why are the trickiest things the hardest to implement? Did I just answer that question?
The next update for V-Ray RT (which is still CPU only) includes support for V-Ray proxy objects (it can also render displacement, but I’m not sure we will have time to add it - it’s coming quite soon). It also includes a version of the light cache which helps it to clean the noise a lot faster.
Vlado,
Wow proxy view? That’s awesome. I hate to be an ingrate and complain about the displacement not making it. When is the next SP? Or is it a new version?
Thanks
