New Cycles Benchmark Anon 02/29/16 (Mon) 16:22:12 No.244 [Reply]

New Cycles Benchmark

Blender Institute prepared six Blender files for testing Cycles rendering with CPU/GPU, using various settings and design styles but based on actual production setups. On the links below you can inspect the spreadsheet with results, and load the .blend file collection.

The goal is to have an overview of systems that are used or tested by developers of Cycles. We aim at updating it regularly, also when new hardware comes in – and especially when render features improve in Cycles.

Most strikingly so-far is that the performance of CPUs is in a similar range as GPUs, especially when compared to costs of hardware. When shots get more complex, CPUs win the performance battle. That confirms our own experience that fast GPU is great for previewing and lighting work, and fast CPU is great for the production rendering. But… who knows what the future brings.

Feel free to post own stats and observations on this blogpost! Maybe other .blend files should be added?

why would I sculpt and then retopologize a model that is just over 1k polys when it won't make any difference to my final product?

>>226

maybe it will?

Before I got into zbrush I tried to do organic models in blender and they were shit. After I used zbrush boom, fucking incredible models.

I will never go back to make organic by extrusion. Never again.

Answer by VesuvianPrime · Oct 22, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Deygus, a typical workflow for games:

1) Build your low-poly character in a modelling tool like Maya, 3DSMax, Blender, etc

2) UV map the character

3) Export the character into zBrush/Mudbox

4) Do your high-poly sculpting

5) Bake out the detail into a normal map

6) Apply the normal map to your low poly character

American Cosmo-Fash Art and Propoganda Anon 10/11/15 (Sun) 21:18:41 No.137 [Reply]

Original thread: http://8ch.net/bmw/res/3627.html

Hello, guys. I'm looking for someone to help me out with some American fash propaganda, or at least point me in the right direction to someone else who can help. For now, I'd like to focus on more cosmic imagery. Basically, I'd just like some American versions of Soviet Space Race propaganda. If you know where I could go to find people who can do this, or go to find people who can teach me to do this, that would also be appreciated.

WHAT ARE UNREAL DEV GRANTS?

https://www.unrealengine.com/unrealdevgrants

Epic has created a $5,000,000 development fund to provide financial grants to innovative projects built in and around Unreal Engine 4. Awards range from $5,000 to $50,000, and there are no strings attached: you continue to own your IP, are free to publish however you wish, and can use the grant funds without any restrictions or obligations to Epic.

Here I will be talking about the PC version in DirectX 11 mode, which eats up several GBs of memory from both the RAM and the GPU. Even if my observations are PC-specific, I believe many can apply to the PS4 and to a certain extend the PS3.

Debugging Python code with PyCharm

https://code.blender.org/2015/10/debugging-python-code-with-pycharm/

During the Ask a Developer session at the Blender Conference last weekend, there was a request for easy debugging of Python code. Fortunately, with PyCharm or Eclipse/PyDev, this is quite easy. Personally I use PyCharm, but the process should be pretty similar for Eclipse/PyDev.
