Thank you François ! Beautifull shot and clever technique ! Thanks for the topolizer tutorial, will keep that one in the back of my head ;) Unfortunatly my debris will have to colide on the ground so I'll give Mom a go, at least until it stop working... I'm glad people keep answering on the list

From my experience It might be worth mentioning that Octane 3.0 will have both GPU/CPU rendering. Its Network rendering is incredibly easy to use and is very efficient. Also the stand alone app is great for folks who use alembics as part of their pipeline. I find it easier to tweak to get

Hey Chad, 1. With Redshift it will roll over (out-of-core) to system ram once the vram is filled, which does slow the performance down (though its still faster than cpu rendering). As an example when I was comparing a 780 (3Gb) to a titan (6Gb) on smaller scenes they were fairly evenly matched,

You are killing me with answer like that, but yes, it seems deeply bugged, some demo scene makes xsi crash. That's really a shame. So far I've found a working solution : Pimping the Mom Emit Deform Control and setting the Mass to 0 (passive RBD) when inside an Geometry and back to 1 (active RBD)

I think it's simpler to not involve ICE if you just want rigid bodies with momentum (just simulation I mean). Recently though I used a setup which was non-simulated, cracking geo with implosia and then using emtools of some variety (I think from a mootzoid video) - creating a pointcloud from

1. When the GPU runs out of ram, Redshift transfers data out of it into the system ram. It doesn't do this for all types of data though: for example, information about the total number of instances has to remain in-core. If you have a very high geometry cache, this out-of-core swap can slow

I did that just yesterday and indeed... it gives you lots of control and speed. You have no collisions, but sometimes it's enough. For destruction stuff however, I doubt it. I used the same technique on this shot 2 years ago. https://vimeo.com/55545305 The length of the shot and the deadline

You have too many nodes. I've made bend deformers in ICE, and didn't need that many nodes to do it. You should try optimizing your logic and use nested compounds wherever logic is repeated. also look to do your math differently such as working with matrices instead of primitive values or
