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. On Fri, 15 Jan 2016 at 16:57, balazs kiss <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:

    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 :)

        Loooooove RS! Switched over after briefly playing with Vray
        and never looked back. It has been amazing so far.

            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.

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

                    It wasn't supported up till now, I think they will
                    be introducing it in the coming weeks.

                        sorry for the potentially silly question, but
                        how is redshift with Rendermap? we use it
                        extensively with MR, and would need redshift
                        to have the same capability

                            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.
