RE: Redshift users?

[Angus Davidson]

Started using it , but when we switched to Macs in the labs, redshift as yet 
doesn’t have a mac version (on is supposedly in dev).

Moved to Octane and since then haven’t looked back.

Kind regards

Out of curiosity - how many of you have started using or completely switched to 
Redshift?

Started using it on projects a couple of years ago, when it was still in
free beta. Even then it was solid for commercial projects. Definitely saved
a few grey hairs since.

Pretty much only RS here too. Shading limitations and lack of sdk can be
annoying but the rendertimes make up for it ;-)

Every render I run,  on Softimage is run through Redshift. I have been
using Redshift since Beta,  and am a very happy customer.  No volumetrics,
 yet,  though.

One lic here, but I would still give advantage to Arnold over RS.

Re: Redshift users?

[Ed Manning]

2 years on Redshift. Saved my business, and made lighting/rendering fun
again.

You can put together an RS-based killer workstation for $2500 that
outperforms $10K worth of VRay- or Arnold-based hardware.

Only volume shading has been missing and it has that now, as well as a new
PBR system that makes wonderful sense. And anyway, as an individual/small
shop, the barrier to doing significant volumetric work is still the

As soon as they add C4D plugin I will buy it for sure. Impressed what I can see 
and hear so far about RS.

You can put together an RS-based killer workstation for $2500 that outperforms 
$10K worth of VRay- or Arnold-based hardware. 

Only volume shading has been missing and it has that now, as well as a new PBR 
system that makes wonderful sense. And anyway, as an individual/small shop, the 
barrier to doing significant volumetric work is still the simulation/iteration 
time, not the render time, so I tend to avoid it.

Redshift is my main real renderer for xsi. But lately it's been element 3d
for after effects. But then again my studio is primarily motion graphics.
Might look into unreal engine 4 after that paragon trailer came out.

Softimage and Redshift.Best marriage ever!

 

I have 4 licenses.

Re: Redshift users?

[Mirko Jankovic]

By the way i will rather rudely use this opportunity to offer some help as
well, to fellow freelancers.
I was lucky enough with some nice projects to build up rather fine GPU farm
of my own, and I would like to offer help to anyone that needs some extra
muscle in their GPU renderings.
If you have 1 or 2 cards and hundreds frames waiting in line it can take
awhile to get them then even with super speed Redshift :)
My GPUs are sitting idle from time to time, in between renderings, and I
would be happy to offer some GPU help to anyone that could need it.

I'm not trying to be render farm so there is no GUI there is no prices nor
anything. Just wanna offer some help to fellow freelances and even small
teams that can't invest a lot into all the new hardware right now,
and still have rendering as slowing point. So if you need help we can
probably get some on the way.

Right now these are comps ready for rendering:
1. 5960X, 64GB RAM, 4x Titan X
2. 5930K, 64GB RAM, 4x Titan
3. 3930K, 64GB RAM, 4x 970

Also there is ton of storage on raid 10 and all connected to optic fiber
200/100 so no problem in transferring all those files as well
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Again to point out that I'm not a render farm and can offer a bit of help
but if you need some real muscles there are couple an redshift certified
render farms
available and probably bunch of octane and others as well. This is just an
helping hand to fellow freelancers out there.

Happy New Year and happy rendering! :)

Re: Redshift users?

[phil harbath]

2 years now.  I have had other renderers and used them now and then, but almost 
immediately when I started using RS it became a necessity,  I started using to 
render AO passes, and 1 was faster than 10 networked computers.   Since that 
time I have gotten rid of the larger network and whittled it down to 3 RS 
computers, and it is much faster than before.

Re: Redshift users?

I did, i asked for raydepth probably around 2 years ago. I guess it was
just not a priority then, but i dont really need it that bad, i just hope
someone will get crazy when the sdk is released. I also asked for the
color4passthrough ages ago, i think it has also been two years since i
asked for it, or at least any sort of custom aov.

Re: Redshift users?

[Tim Leydecker]

I have one RS license but am not up to date with it atm because of other 
stuff taking priority.


That said, I´m looking forward to having more time with Redshift again.

In an ideal world, sidefx would allow to run Redshift with the Indie 
Houdini license.


For me, tools Redshift3D, Substance Painter, UE4, Houdini have brought 
back a lot of  fun

to things that started to just feel like work.

I like the "Indie" approach most of them share and combined, it´s 
awesome what is possible.


Cheers,

tim

Redshift for president, I vote. Once you know all the material work-arounds

Re: Redshift users?

[Gerbrand Nel]

I'm also doing most of my work in Houdini indie at the moment.
With the whole 3rd party render restriction, I experimented with the 
following:

Redshift in soft
Redshift in maya
Octane stand alone
Blender cycles

Hi Gerbrand

Can Blender import FBX animations ?

Interested to hear that Cycles is so zippy.

I'm also doing most of my work in Houdini indie at the moment.
With the whole 3rd party render restriction, I experimented with the following:
Redshift in soft
Redshift in maya
Octane stand alone
Blender cycles

Octane standalone imported .abc files the best from houdini.
Soft and maya would loose things like fur, or get particle sizes mixed up
For me cycles seemed to be as good as octane, and sometimes even faster.
Some scenes were faster in redshift, and some were faster in cycles.

RE: Redshift users?

[Morten Bartholdy]

Wow, it is quite impressive what an impact Redshift has made already.

I have done a fair amount of testing with Redshift too and find on average
scenes to be 5-10 times faster than Arnold with comparable quality, plus a
number of things are simpler to set up the way you want it, in part because
of the rapid feedback in the renderregion. I have yet to test it on really
complex scenes, so that will be the next thing to check. I agree on a lack
of shader support in certain parts, especially compared to Arnold/Sitoa, so
it is reassuring that Burtnyk and Co are so responsive :)

We will likely also incorporate it to some extent when it supports vdb and
volumetric rendering and see where it takes us.

I'd say the timescale for rendermapping/baking will be months rather than
weeks - seems like complex volume rendering will come before baking.

I thought they mentioned having rendermaps in soft actually working
partially, they were just looking for a method on how to implement it
across the board.
I could be completely wrong though. Either way i would like  the volumes
more :), sorry baking guys.

Hi Morten,

we're also on redshift here, and I've made another small studio to switch
too ( by showing a few frames and the corresponding render times ).. great
stuff :)

Re: Redshift users?

I'd really like us to look at Redshift but too embedded with Vray. Keeping
an eye on the possible Max integration as that could turn heads.
How big a farm are people using for Redshift, because we do a lot of
rendering.

You should give it a go. You be converted as soon as you hit the render
button. I'd say roughly 4-8 high end cards would be enough for most
commercial work.

 I have done a fair amount of testing with Redshift too and find on
average scenes to be 5-10 times faster than Arnold with comparable quality,
plus a number of things are simpler to set up the way you want it, in part
because of the rapid feedback in the renderregion. I have yet to test it on

Re: Redshift users?

We're use a 'garden' really... about a dozen dedicated machines, most 
with 2xTitanX cards, and we have some workstations that can kick in if 
needed. You can get through a lot with far less than before. And if you 
need to upgrade, just pop in a different card. We went from dual 770s to 
dual TitanXs with zero hassle and the performance improvement was as 
expected: awesome.

Re: Redshift users?

[Matt Morris]

When I was at A Large Evil Corporation we replaced around 40 cpu nodes with
8 dual gpu nodes. With 2 cards the scaling is pretty good (around 1.85x).
With 3 or 4 cards it would definitely be worth doing one frame per gpu.

Re: Redshift users?

[Mirko Jankovic]

It mostly come down to this... if frame is rather fast to render go with 1`
GPU per frame, if it takes a bit longer 2 per frame is sweet spot. Makes
not much sense to go over 2GPU per frame due to scaling.
2 cards is almost 2x speed
3 cards ~2.4x
4 cards ~2.9x
If I recall some of the measuring we took.
But still 4 GPU per render node is good combo, less space taken, less
licences cost, less strain on network etc...

So no redshift anymore which I really regret. I hope they will add Blender

Re: Redshift users?

[Gerbrand Nel]

Are you using blender only, or other apps with blender?
I ask because I'm always looking for ways to get my work into blender, 
to use cycles as my main render.
At the moment I use mdd cache for animation with no topology change, and 
a script called meshfoot for things like liquids or other changing 
topology geo.

Cameras are also a real pain, but I have a workaround for that from houdini.
particles and volumes I still render in mantra.
Cant wait for blender to get alembic and openVDB

It mostly come down to this... if frame is rather fast to render
go with 1` GPU per frame, if it takes a bit longer 2 per frame is
sweet spot. Makes not much sense to go over 2GPU per frame due to
scaling.
2 cards is almost 2x speed
3 cards ~2.4x
4 cards ~2.9x
If I recall some of the measuring we took.
But still 4 GPU per render node is good combo, less space taken,
less licences cost, less strain on network etc...

Are you using blender only, or other apps with blender?
I ask because I'm always looking for ways to get my work into blender, to use 
cycles as my main render.
At the moment I use mdd cache for animation with no topology change, and a 
script called meshfoot for things like liquids or other changing topology geo.
Cameras are also a real pain, but I have a workaround for that from houdini.
particles and volumes I still render in mantra.
Cant wait for blender to get alembic and openVDB

It mostly come down to this... if frame is rather fast to render go with 1` GPU 
per frame, if it takes a bit longer 2 per frame is sweet spot. Makes not much 
sense to go over 2GPU per frame due to scaling.
2 cards is almost 2x speed
3 cards ~2.4x
4 cards ~2.9x
If I recall some of the measuring we took.
But still 4 GPU per render node is good combo, less space taken, less licences 
cost, less strain on network etc...

Re: Redshift users?

We settled on 2GPUs for most machines. A couple have 3. Workstations 
have 1. Like Matt and Mirko said, because of non-linear performance, 
you'll need to determine at what point you want to parallelize.


And yes, you can have a machine with 4 cards, and 4 instances of RS each 
rendering on a separate card. However, be advised that all 4 instances 
of RS/XSI will pull from shared resources like the CPU and system RAM.


If you can swing Titan Xs, their 12GB of vram make a huge difference in 
performance, even if the specs of the card itself might not seem as 
appealing as the 908Ti.

I'm sure there was a post on the redshift forum from someone who had
managed to get RR7 working with jobs per gpu, but it sounded like it needed
a bit of time to get it right, and conversations with Holger.

Distributed rendering, if you have in mind multiple machines rendering same
frame, is not directly supported, but using Deadline you can tile render
single image with all comps on the network.

 If you can swing Titan Xs, their 12GB of vram make a huge difference in

Re: Redshift users?

[Leoung O'Young]

We are using rr v7.0.16 and it is not implemented in this version.
It is not a problem for us at the moment since we only have 2 GPU per 
machine.

There is no special setup (SLI isn't used or anything). But when 
XSIBATCH is run you can pass a flag to RS so that it targets one 
specific GPU or several. Here is a thread on that:

But you can set up RR to work per GPU though, right Tim? Could you 
elaborate about how the 4 card systems are setup?

We are using rr v7.0.16 and it is not implemented in this version.
It is not a problem for us at the moment since we only have 2
GPU per machine.

I'm sure there was a post on the redshift forum from someone
who had managed to get RR7 working with jobs per gpu, but it
sounded like it needed a bit of time to get it right, and
conversations with Holger.

Might want to double check with Holger first, I may be

Oh okay, I think I got it now. We're still on RR 6
but maybe we need to upgrade to 7 so we can have
multiple render nodes on machines.

Guess I better talk to the bossman and see about
getting a license upgrade.

Thanks Tim!

We settled on 2GPUs for most machines. A couple
have 3. Workstations have 1. Like Matt and Mirko
said, because of non-linear performance, you'll
need to determine at what point you want to
parallelize.

And yes, you can have a machine with 4 cards, and
4 instances of RS each rendering on a separate
card. However, be advised that all 4 instances of
RS/XSI will pull from shared resources like the
CPU and system RAM.

If you can swing Titan Xs, their 12GB of vram
make a huge difference in performance, even if
the specs of the card itself might not seem as
appealing as the 908Ti.

When I was at A Large Evil Corporation we
replaced around 40 cpu nodes with 8 dual gpu
nodes. With 2 cards the scaling is pretty good
(around 1.85x). With 3 or 4 cards it would
definitely be worth doing one frame per gpu.

SO the question.
How do you setup your farm. Which is better?
Multiple cards per frame or a card per frame?

We're use a 'garden' really... about a
dozen dedicated machines, most with
2xTitanX cards, and we have some
workstations that can kick in if needed.
You can get through a lot with far less
than before. And if you need to upgrade,
just pop in a different card. We went
from dual 770s to dual TitanXs with zero
hassle and the performance improvement
was as expected: awesome.

I'd really like us to look at Redshift
but too embedded with Vray. Keeping an
eye on the possible Max integration as
that could turn heads.
How big a farm are people using for
Redshift, because we do a lot of rendering.

Hi Morten,

 

Re: Redshift users?

We switched to Redshift, we're running 10 licenses. Amazing value for the
investment compared to a CPU farm.

[Manu Allasia]

Hi all !

Here at GobiStudio we recently switched to 5 RedShift licences. Before we
used a lot Octane.

Octane is no more supported in Softimage, and the last plugin still have a
lot of bugs. And resdshift is really faster.
