[Max] General Discussion / Re: Corona Interactive vs Vray RT (CPU)

Thank you for the explanation SairesArt! As far as i know Vray 3.3 changed that. Reflective caustics are now on by default but still have the ability to be turned off when needed.

[Max] General Discussion / Corona Interactive vs Vray RT (CPU)

« on: 2016-06-07, 19:45:51 »

I'm testing my single (soon to be dual) Xeon 2696 v3 and i'm amazed at how fast Corona Interactive is comparing to Vray RT (cpu). Vray RT crashes at times and is not really usable in production to test the lighting assuming we keep materials and don't use material override. No crashes on Corona.

I'm curious as to why can't vray reach the level of speed of Corona Interactive? Production Render times are almost equal to me between the two since i still use IM+LC on vray. The differences of interactivity between them are really really noticeable though.

Hello,

Is it possible to set pass, noise level, and time limits in interactive rendering? Changing progressive render limits don't seem to affect interactive rendering.

Thanks!

Hi guys! I see Region controls are already present in VFB even with IR! Corona is getting awesomer every release! Are there any plans in integrating a somewhat simplified region render directly into the IR viewport?

Well, i guess it's on the 1.4 daily build already:

This is pretty cool guys!

Thanks once again for clearing those doubts lingering in my head Juraj! ;)

Thanks romullus! ;) Is there any date for the 1.4 release? Can't see it anywhere, sorry.

Any news if we're going to have region render directly on VFB in v1.4?

That was another doubt i had :) I read somewhere (tomshardware if i'm not mistaken) that 3 screw holes wouldn't line up. Corners and some internals do. Also found this for reference:



If i go the Samsung 850 Evo 1TB | Asus Z10PA-D8 route i was thinking on the Fractal Define R4.

On the other hand on the Samsung 950 Pro M.2 PCIe | Asus Z10PE-D8 WS route the Fractal Define XL R2 is a really tempting choice but i'm not sure the overall extra cost is really worth it. I guess i have to sink that in :)

Do you have any dual Xeons Juraj?

Great input Juraj! Many thanks! Sata 3 ssd route is somewhat around 300€ cheaper. Cheaper MB and no special SSI-EEB compatible case to match :)

Hardware / nVme PCIe (x4) vs Sata 3 ssd

« on: 2016-04-30, 11:39:58 »

I'm about to build a workstation with 2x Xeon 2699 v3 and i would like some input regarding storage. My options are either go to Samsung 850 Evo (SATA3) 1TB or go to Samsung 950 Pro 512GB (nvme Pcie x4).

My question is: is there ANY real difference in opening large 3ds max files between the two hard drives? I know that large file transfers benefit the M.2 nvme but my interest is to speed up large 3ds max file opening and if M.2 pcie x4 doesn't cut it i won't invest in a specific motherboard with support for M.2 pci2 (x4).

If i go the SSD Sata3 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PA-D8.
If i go the M.2 pcie x4 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PE-D8 WS.

Has anyone tested this?

So, no render region in the extended viewport as well right? I bought Corona just now to see this feature... bummer! :) Should have read the thread before.

Many thanks for the reply romullus! I assume this is already present in the Release candidate 1?

Is this feature already implemented in v1.2 Ondra?
