Horrible presentation of a interesting software.
AMD FirePro ray tracer renderer proof of concept demo
nice.. considering AMD has really powerful cards.
but those (4x W8100) cost around 10K$ - For that amount You could build a workstation with 3cards inside pluss four on the expansion box & exterior scene (with a car) would probably render out at the same speed. So just considering the price I don't see it being impressive.
However it is really nice to see AMD making more effort to support development of those engines - more of them in the market the happier end user is going to be. They were selling their cards with discounts up to 50% lately..-that was a bargain.. but again..where to use all that power..
thanks for sharing, Rikk.

Yeah, that's the coolest part. I wonder if Octane for Maya could do that.dsyee wrote:My eyes popped a bit when he showed that it was integrated into the Maya viewport. Pretty cool!
