Yes, it's a really sweet setup. And it still only requires one license per 
machine even if you run separate tasks on each card. 

We're using a mixtures of Titans, 780ti and tesla cards and I can only second 
what everyone else is saying. It's ridiculous fast.

Yes, there seems to be a decline at 3 cards. But another great thing about 
redshift is that you can render multiple tasks simultaneously so card 1 & 2 
render frame 1 and card 3 & 4 render frame 2, etc. this is fully supported with 
Deadline (don't know about royal render, but I think someone said it was 
supported as well).

Re: SI and Houdini

While I haven't used it in a while, I'm quite sure you can export your iBook as 
a standard ePub and PDF as well, though it will strip out some of the rich 
media content. So you can publish the same "book" in multiple formats. 

If you rather go with the app approach you should definitely have a look at 
adobe/indesign DPS. It may not be quite as advanced as writing all the code 
your self, but it will get you very far. And without needing to write any code 
at all. 

Cheers

Re: Render Region won't refresh

2012-11-17 Thread ola.mad...@digitalcontext.se
I've encountered the problem a couple of times in the past. restarting 
softimage makes everything behave as normal again so I never investigated the 
fault any further. but I think it's caused by soft loosing the connection with 
MR... 

So, my solution is to restart soft =)
