NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

I’m pretty impressed with seeing such great rendertimes on the MacPro’s! Looks like they’re handling Max with VRay just fine.

Yeah, we went with the MacPro (instead of BoXX) this time around because outside of 3D work, we’re a mostly Mac office, and it was an easier sell to the decision makers because it could be repurposed back to OSX for someone else’s workstation down the road. This let me go over the original budget :smile:

The only real problem I have with it is that the eject button on the keyboard doesn’t work :frowning: There’s supposedly a driver for the keyboard in the Bootcamp package, but that’s for 32bit WinXP, not 64bit.

All in all though, I’m quite happy with the machine and it performas as well as machines in the same price range from Boxx and Dell.

Can somebody try a Dual Opteron 270? We haven’t upgraded to 1.5 yet.

I’m waiting on Morbid’s new tour de’force. I’m waging he cracks 1:20 on it… We need to lay the pressure on.

somethings wrong with yours gilpo.

Hmm…I see that now. I wonder if I touched something while looking around the scene. Lemme try that again…

you might just try redownloading it. Im going to package it up in a rar file to help with size.

Updated the image. No clue what happened the first go round. Better time too.

Hey - I should say thanks Percy. Looking forward to opening up your scene. Didn’t even realize you could add toon to a regular render now and I am quite puzzled by your laser effect. :smile:

Wow, those Mac’s…

MAX 9-64-bit, XP-64, Vray RC3-64 bit
Dual Xeon 5160, 4 Gb Ram…

MAX 9-64-bit, XP-64, Vray RC4 internal-64 bit
Dual Xeon 5160, 4 Gb Ram… weird the different time with the one above.

Thanks Gilpo. What was your latest time?

I just replaced the image in my post instead of posting a new one. So that time is accurate. Compared to the dual 265, it seems to be fairly on-par.

Not too bad…
