Re: Best graphic card for Softimage?

It sounds like you were well past the 15000 hours mark on those components. Practically no non-enterprise gear is guaranteed to work continuously for that long. Most is considered to have a reliable life of 10k, after which you roll the dice. A couple mobos for what sounds like 25k or more hours o

Re: Best graphic card for Softimage?

Average temp ran around high 50's Celsius and rarely touched 70 C on a major render. It was on nearly continuously for 3 years until mobo died in Feb then Nov (warranty covered both). Any links for better cooling appreciated. Thanks, Henry On 2014-12-11 17:32, James De Colling wrote: > t

Hi Paul, Still no plan to make the Core open sourced (perhaps dual licensed ala Oracle) and available to open sourced projects ? I see you are now in need for more users/clients, perhaps this could be the right time ? Cheers, Guy. -- guy rabiller | radfac founder | raa.tel On 11/12/14 2

there is an error. There is an additional array before UVArray that is called PolygonFaceIndexArray it's an array of indices which I am guessing tells you what is the polygon ID on the corresponding unsubdivided mesh. It helps finding which material is used because the clusters are using these IDs

I'd stay clear of the ATI/AMD consumer cards if I were you. From our experience Soft becomes generally less stable (crashing a lot more), and the raycast selection is going haywire sometimes. Chris On 11/12/14 04:44, phil harbath wrote: > I went Redshift and have been very pleased. I can get by
