thanks for the response!

I will look into it!

Currrently rendering a scene with 400 megs of textures and the file weighting around 110 megs
time per frame in a single 4 gpu computer is around 29 secs

time per frame with 3 nodes ( 4 GPU per node) 20 seconds
it takes almost 70% of the rendering time in the master machine to update the rest of ...

Hi, I came across this HDR studio light set
https://www.pingo.nu/vfxtools/

tried to use it but I cant get it to work.
if the image is mapped to a plane with a texture emission node the whole plane emits light

cavity is the same as bump map ?

you could use it as a bump map. I found many uses for it.
for masking too

Hi,

to create a material from megascan materials sets, you have to create nodes like the picture enclosed. limit the displacement parameter to less of 10 to be realistic.

You can also multiply AO and cavity with the diffuse map to compensate for the Ambient occlusion lost as the displacement ...

Yeah, it is interesting, I am definetkly getting some performance increase,
But I assumed that now as is one extra card and they suppose to be much faster the performance will be much better.

thanks for the post, I ll keep an eye on it
