NVIDIA-free Software emulated Texture Node demo?
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 7:09 pm
Is it possible to have a demo version of the Texture Node function, in a SOFTWARE ONLY, non-GPU/accelerated form?
I'm still hunting for an affordable option for NVIDIA add-on to my mid-2010 6-core MacPro.... No luck!
It would be SO nice to have a software based "taste" of the functionality.....
Just using the "golfball" scene, and accepting that it would probably
30 times slower-than a render with a CUDA GPU... Acceptable in a demo!
OR, eventually.... support for running Octane using ATI GPU architecture????
A continuing fundamental Financial incompatibility of NVIDIA cards vs. my limited budget.. ;o}
Meanwhile---any advance notice of Octane compatibility with OSX 10.7 "Lion"???
I'm just testing the Lion beta.....and there are all SORTS of "dead" applications
(no more PPC code allowed, and "Rosetta" emulation of PPC has been dropped.... )
----I'm NOT happy about that! :-///
