What is the model of the case? Seems quite well designed Silverstone Fortess FT-02 It's a pretty big and heavy duty case, and deep - power supply cables are a bit of a reach to get to the front. Best with a modular power supply, so you can remove cables as needed. The cables run across the back of ...

From an uneducated point of view I am wondering how the rig would impact the lifetime of traditional hard drives with a strong torque at startup. How much can a SSD produce heat ? The elastic bands are strong and taut, it doesn't move :) And HD last a lot longer than you think. My oldest has been i...

I didn't take them

I think Indigo's simulation physical aperture diffraction is very weak compared to real life, at the same fstop settings. I usually need to go over F64 to get results like these!

me thinks the simulation needs tweaking

see what I mean?

real camera have way more diffraction at the same fstop as Indigo - me thinks the simulation needs tweaking

Just tried v3.4.2 - and it's even faster across the board! ie a BMLT render I'm doing now went from 800+k to 1000+k samples per second edit - looks buggy though, no apeture diffraction happens.... edit2 - it looks like there is a bug in the Indigo renderer, when your tweaking the F-Stop, while the ...

Either with this version or 3.4.2 - apperture diffration no longer works. It works fine in 3.4 Confirmed. Though it still renders inside the max plugin, just incorrectly. On a side note, when you click the "aperture diffraction" checkbox in indigo, does it use post process or "real" diffraction? - ...

Buggy - no aperture diffraction anymore!

After much messing around, I finally have the system fairly smooth, except for booting off the SSD OS drive- definitely need a SP2 for Windows7... Anyway the Intel 520 SSD is hella fast and so is the CPU 8) I wonder how it compares to the i7 970 running at the same clock speed - because I am thinkin...

Putting together an Asus P9X79 3930k 6 core, 16GB system ontop of my old X58a-UD3R i7 930 @ 4 ghz, 12GB system as I type this - then sell off the parts I no longer need 8) Ram is ridiculously cheap these days! Hope to hit 4.5 ghz on air - benchmarks and render tests to come..... :wink: So an extra 3...

Interesting I never had any issues with the SSS resolving, in these water renders, it was more the dispersion (cauchyB value) which caused the rainbow look. Unless the surfaces have problem finding the sun - something that MLT variants are just not good at unfortunately with bump map and displacement
