General CG Discussion / RenderStacks new render passes manager

« on: 2020-07-20, 19:58:49 »

I've been testing this plugin during the beta for awhile and I must say it is amazing ! .
it is kinda like 3ds max State sets, expect it works : )) with many additional features of course .

There is no official info yet about the price, but according to the developer there would be an option for both  perpetual and  subscription license. 
Check the link below for more info
https://renderstacks.com/
and here is a sneak peak video to see it in action

Hardware / New workstation specs advice

« on: 2018-12-04, 20:39:37 »

Hello everyone!
I'm planning to build a new machine to use for my daily work which is mainly rendering using Vray/Corona .
Here are the specs that  I'm planning to buy  and I would like to know your thoughts about it as I'm totally noob when it comes to hardware  =D :

MB: Asus ROG ZENITH EXTREME
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX
VGA: ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-O11G
RAMs :2xTeam T-Force Night Hawk RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3000
SSD: Samsung 970 PRO 512GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD (MZ-V7P512BW)
HHD: WD 4TB WD4002FYYZ Gold HDD
Case: NZXT Phantom 820 CA-PH820-M1 Matte Black
Cooling: Cooler Master Wraith Ripper
PSU  Cooler Master V1200
Total price: 6500 $ 

Some of these items are available here in the market  (Lebanon), but for most of them I will need to buy from Amazon so there is additional cost about ~1000$ for shipping, VAT ..etc. 
I've read some of the threads here, but to be honest it made me feel more lost than before :-))
Any suggestion/comments for these specs is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Off-Topic / rendering animation with State sets /multiple cameras

« on: 2017-12-11, 15:40:20 »

Hello ! :)
I have 20 animated cameras in total 4500 frames to render with 4 different lighting rigs that I need to render in one go .
Rebus farm and The Ranch render farms don't support "scene state" neither" batch rendering " which is surprising !.
Uploading 20 max files each 6 GB + 15 GB of proxies/textures isn't an option .
Any suggestion for a render farm that support the above mentioned features ?
Of course supportng the usual archviz plugins is required :
(the latest ) Forest Pack/ Railclone/ CityTraffic ..etc
also support for multi-channel 32 bit exr is a must too .
P.S I'm testing with Xref at the moment as work-around which will take time to prepare, so any other suggestions is welcomed too !
Thanks in advance
