Hi guys, Not being in the hi-res movie/ad industry anymore, I'm pretty surprised RedShift seems to have taken a place quite quick in your heart and more importantly in your pipeline. Of course the closer to real-time you get and the cost lowering Redshift provides is definitely interesting but I could not have predicted that Redshift would be such a game changer, at least for Softimage users.(I don't know about the other DCC users as I don't hang that much in 3D forums.
Where is that taking you? I mean, what do you guys see as the next step? I heard Octane is pretty slick too but have you checked out Brigade? Is Arnold working towards this direction as well?

We have an Arnold renderfarm but we are finding ourselves using that less often in favour of Redshift. Houdini is on our radar and we’ve been tinkering with it, and we have a Modo license but haven’t had the time to even install it. Overall I think that we are still more efficient using Softimage as it is, than we would be switching to a newer workflow, which (without wanting to start that whole discussion again) speaks volumes about the quality of Softimage, bearing in mind that we can assume its development essentially finished 5 years ago!
