  1. Great idea! "Let there be light V.2" - After 10 years of CG Evolution :-) It would be a very interesting thread to see how the softwares have evolved. I hope we can get some attention from Jeff Mottle couse I dont know if we have the authority to start this kind of thread, also we would need some old rendering views + .dxf .dwg files to start with. edit: Forgot to ask, does Thea support distribute render?
  2. Would realy like you to try the "let there be light" scene together with "let there be architectual glass". In the 2nd one you have an interior scene with an glass table wich could realy take long for an unbiased engine to render.
  3. I realy dont see much logic in this statement given previous posts where Derek has presented us with very impressive times and results. But again I would like to hear on the GPU memory limit wich is at least for me THE ONLY problem for current GPU engines. Derek I cannot agree with you here. You posted a image rendered with TR2 - 3 hours, you used same engine unbiased but with addition of GPU wich reduced time almost 3 times. So GPU power is clearly greater then that coming from CPU.
  4. So using PRESTO2 you cut down rendering time form 3 hours (TR2) to 1 hour? Thats 3x faster and using just one GPU GTX560ti? WOuld you say that this is a clear indication that one should invest more in GPU power then in CPU power if buying a new rig? p.s. Derek, please read my last post I made an one crucial edit
  5. Very interesting. A question comes to my mind and reading THEAS forum it still hasnt been answerd: "is the CPU+GPU going to be limited by the GPU memory size or is there going to be some smart plan to use computer RAM for bigger more complex scenes?"
  6. Just a quick one, "Thea Presto is a new render engine that has been written bottom-up, from scratch, and runs entirely on your graphics card processor" from THEAS site. PRESTO is only GPU rendering and does not add CPU power to rendering. Derek why did you write GPU+CPU in your images?
  7. Derek, first of all thanks for you time you devoted to make these test. Realy generous from you, thank you! :-) Theas CPU+GPU engine -> I might be wrong but this is currently the only "hybrid engine" on the market, right? I dont see any logic in THEA having TR1 and TR2 when you have CPU+GPU option?! Tell me please, do you use "standalone THEA studio" or a plugin and how does this work? Do you export geometry from host modeling program via plugin to THEA studio or...? I dont wanna sound rude, but from all rendering engines available, THEAs gallery for me was always the least impressive. Like the images always lacked that "WOW effect" that we saw in images when Maxwell, FryRender, Indigo, OCTANE came out.
  8. http://www.learnvray.com/features/english.htm Here the link
  9. Has anyone made any direct comparison between the 3930 and 3770? WOuld definetly like to hear waht where the rendering times for the same scene. Anyone has maybe a side by side comparison? Thanx
  10. I cannot figure whats this book aboth. Vray training, making of....It has also modeing topic...modeling with max or?....
  11. Hi! I went to Ciros site and it seems that they also have a lot of video tutorials. Ciro can you tell us a bit more on them. They seem like type "making of"
  12. Im quoting an amazon reviewer: "Book also focus evenly with Mental Ray and V-ray use, Chapter 2 and 3 for "Interior" Day and Night will utilizes Mental Ray, Chapter 4 and 5 for "Exterior" Day and Night uses V-Ray. Unfortunately I am interested in interior presentation technique using V-Ray, so this book was not for me" Is this true? No Vray interior class?
