[Max] General Discussion / Times changes, maybe it is time for GPU support?
« on: 2019-09-20, 14:30:03 »
Introduction:
Hello, my name is Thomas and I have been working as a 3D generalist, VFX artist and Filmmaker for the past fifteen years.
The first time I saw Corona Render (Alpha 3) I have immediately become obsessed with it. I have spent many years working with V-Ray, mastering its every setting to get the best render times - and now I have the ultimate solution in my hands - Corona rendering plugin. But it is not a rendering plugin, it is a virtual camera (that is what I like to call Corona Render). Thanks Render Legion for saving everyone’s time and money, great job! Even 'crackers' respect Corona and that's cool :)
Due to the nature of my work, I need to follow current trends and be up to date with every aspect of that industry. Most of the software companies saw the potential in GPU utilizing, like Black Magic Design with their DaVinci Resolve, which became 15294739x times faster than Adobe Premiere, because of the perfect GPU utilizing.
Main thread:
I'm thinking: we have graphic cards with 8, 16, 24, 32 gigabytes (or even more) of RAM on board, we can connect them together (for example with NVLink) and get the pool of that memory. If that is not enough, we can even use the CPU RAM. At that point, the biggest struggle with GPU rendering is solved. Maybe it's time for you, Render Legion, to implement wonderful Corona rendering algorithms to utilize the GPU? Maybe it's time for the new era, just like in the old times, when Corona saw the daylight for the first time?
What do you think? Maybe I don't have enough variables in that manner, maybe that's not as simple as it looks or maybe there are more difficulties than I can see. Tell me what you think guys and once again - Thanks for such a wonderful 3ds max plugin, that Corona is!
Cheers!
