Its the weirdest thing to me that you didn't receive any answers until now...

Well, as far as I know, the plan is that the next alpha release will be released in the forums just as the 3ds max version is. I take it there hasn't been anything to show to the public so far so the forums aren't available yet.

Hardware / Re: RAMPAGE IV FORMULA or x79 mb and 16gb modules support

« on: 2017-02-04, 16:56:33 »

I am unsure which CPU you are using but since you are going for the x79 chipset, I think you are limited by the max amount of ram your i7 can take.

I'd double check that on Intel's ARK (example: http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz).

[C4D] Resolved Feature Requests / Re: override material exclusion by material

« on: 2017-01-31, 11:26:54 »

Agreed. V-Ray for c4d has this sorted out beautifully for me personally. You can exclude a specific material right from the material editor. Would be cool :)

Hardware / Re: HELP – new workstation – is that a good deal?

I really don't want to steal this thread but Jann, do you by any chance have any idea if you can fit 5 double slotted GPUs on that motherboard? Asking out of curiosity, they seem oddly tight for some reason.

The PCIEX5 slot is just x4, which could still work, but you would have to use two single slot (native or modded) GPUs in 4th and 5th slot. Normally the board supports 4 GPUs at 8x each (but the 6th slot card would go over usb connectors, so some tinkering would be required).

Thanks buddy!

[Max] I need help! / Re: How to create thick fabric rug?

« on: 2017-01-28, 00:29:58 »

I'd approach it sort of like you did - with displacement maps. Granted, I try to avoid using displacement due to all of the precalcs that need to happen not to mention you need a hefty amount of RAM if you are rendering the Aladin (I am mostly reffering to the rug store).

What you could also do is zbrush it :)

Good to know! I would presume these numbers are with the 1.6 daily (i.e the speed has been further improved) and not with 1.5?

Work in Progress/Tests / Re: Renovation Bathroom in Paris

Sir, looks reaaaaallllyyy great! I like the mood, the set up, the lighting, the materials!

One thing though... If you'd bevel / chamfer those edges on the mantel, now that would make it even better!

I am still getting huge freezes on Windows. At certain times the whole c4d freezes including the cVFB :)

Is it possible you are working in kilometers / miles in your scene and you have a 5000x5000 km / mile (insanely big) object?

Really, really great work! The lighting is really nicely done, very well balanced, at least to me.

Could you upload a clay or two?

By the way... is that the Jakub Cech marble? :P

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: Material Override not working with Light Portals

If I am getting this right then you should exclude the portal objects from material override. :)

@4b4,

Actually I don't think I get that no. The VFB experience is laggy as it is so its hard to tell :) It is working awesomely when its smooth though! Can't wait to see how the implementation continues :)

Hardware / Re: Don´t beat me, but...

« on: 2017-01-10, 11:40:57 »

Same here. Holding off on the GPUs and CPUs for as long as possible because it -seems- AMD is going to be competitive.

The GPUs are a different story, they have had powerful hardware on the high end for a long time but the CPU front was starved as pretty much everything above mainstream was locked off by Intel and the i7s and Xeons.

Naples looks like a real performer however it is slated for Q2 which probably doesn't mean early May but more like early summer.

A great, amazing thing from AMD is that they committed to using the AM4 socket up until 2020 which means you don't need to buy new motherboards everytime there is a tock. That and if the 8 core Ryzen ship performs in the realm of the 6900k ... I think thats amazing :)

At this point however, it is a wait and see. Hoping for the good stuff though :)
