It really rocks on a dell T5500 with a quadro4000 card in it. That gets blown away by the mac book pro with the 650m on it. It really has the potential to be a total game changer for a lot of folks. You can get virtually finished look and feel at slightly above what you would currently get for a quick previz render before. Makes a massive difference in your workflow.

I wanted to know if Redshift use the mantal ray's materials and lights or did he have his own materials and lights set up, like Arnold? And as a student, can I be an "alpha" tester? or is this only for professionals and studios?

[cid:[email protected]] Cristobal Infante<mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, April 03, 2013 7:37 PM I just started playing with Redshift and have to say I am really impressed. Playing with on my laptop, with a GT 425M, and It still does the trick!. The combo GI and progressive rendering really is a nice combo. Can't wait to try this on a real workstation, with a full on GPU!

To be honest, if things keep going like this, i'll be getting another one used and put in sli. Multi-gpu support is on its way. -- visual | stuff www.okto.ro<http://www.okto.ro> [cid:[email protected]] Tim Crowson<mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, April 03, 2013 3:30 PM I feel the same way! The only other place I've had this much fun lighting and rendering is with modo (Preview is awesome!). To be able to iterate over high-quality renders in a matter of minutes with RS is just liberating. And I'm using a lowly GTX 470! -Tim [cid:[email protected]] Octavian Ureche<mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, April 03, 2013 2:59 PM https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2109634/classroom_sunsky_animation.mov So here's another test with that classroom scene. This time without dof and moblur but with an abruptly animated physical sun. Looking at the overall render, i think it looks good. I know some will jump and say it's too fast, which is why i'll probably render it again with a slower motion of the light when i get some more time. But so far, i am pleased with the results, and by looking at the first and last couple of frames in the animation, you can notice the solution is stable. Also changed some settings and managed to get 2:30 min/frame on this one. Can't remember when was the last time i had so much fun rendering. [cid:[email protected]] Andreas Bystrom<mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, April 03, 2013 12:39 AM another thing I'm curious about with redshift is if you will get the exact same image using different hardware and possibly drivers as well? if you have a gpu renderfarm and decide to expand it a bit later you wont be able to get the same exact hardware in the new boxes, so curious to know if that would cause problems. -- Andreas Byström Weta Digital -- Max <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
