OTOY Forums

Hi Simon,
I wanted to share this link with you and Thomas, and ask a question relating to it. The link is to a Youtube series by Smicha7 you may be familiar with, which documents how to build
an amazing work station. I have not gone through the videos yet...just started. My question relates to the last video, Part 23. Here, he does a test render in the Octane Standalone with his new, monster machine.
What I am wondering: If I were to pursue this sort of machine, are there any reasons that Carrara would not be able to take advantage?

Thanks for your help,
Rick

There is nothing stopping a rig like this working with octane for Carrara.

Thanks. Probably a bit much for my output, but fun to learn about. I have learned that a machine like this is used for movie output,,,,,,like 17k x 1920. Wow.
Back to considering Amfeltec.

Hi Rick,

That's a freaking awesome machine. Might be out of my price range

In fact, I render with 5 GTX 980 cards quite fast. I'm really happy concerning the speed - compared to Arnold and Maxwell.

Just released my 2016 showreel and I'm also quite happy what Octane Render can do for me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oe9iv1nu92zvk ... Thomas.mp4

However, if the news are correct, Octane 4 will be even faster. Can't wait to grab a copy...

Any new cool animations on your side of the ocean?

Best wishes,
Thomas Schwenke

Thomas, your reel looks great! Love the robot bees scene. Love the gears and the go-cart. Really good stuff, and lots of hard work!

I have been working a lot lately but because of NDA's, must wait to show.


Were you able to use Sparrowhawk for the chain and sprockets? I was playing around with the plugin and crashing when launching Octane.

Hi Rick,

Great you like it.

Yes, I used the plugin for the chain. Worked quite well for me

Is it crashing when you open OR Viewport? That would be strange

Best wishes,
Thomas

Yes, exactly. It crashes when I open the OR viewport. Glad it is working for you. Sure looks good.

If you want, I can have a look and see if it's working for me.

Sure! That would be great. Please see attached. Thanks, Thomas.
Rick

Works for me with 3.05.01.31.

Best wishes,
Thomas
