Hardware / Re: one big workstation or 3 small in DR

« on: 2019-02-28, 14:13:36 »

hello Vuk, thank you for your answer.
I run a specialized office in design product, construction and 3D imaging.
In imaging I realize fixed visuals, for catalog, some animations and virtual visit.
my website: www.hyh.fr
Actually I have already looked for some configurations, as for 10 years I work on Dell stations, I first looked on their site.
In attachment a configuration that serves as a basis for comparative study.
I am not anti Amd, I have only never used.
I asked my computer scientist to propose solutions, one with a single big and powerful station and another with a station and nodes.
I don't know which is the most effective and relevant. Hence my questioning.
My computer scientist is also looking for user information to determine the best config.
On my side, as I am more a user than a programmer, I do not know what an engineering sample CPU .... which makes that I do not understand the advantage or not of your explanation :)

Hardware / one big workstation or 3 small in DR

« on: 2019-02-27, 06:07:27 »

Hello, I work under 3DS and Corona 3, I have the project to buy a new workstation
I have a conformable budget (13000 €)

Following various discussions I wonder about the best design.
- A powerful station 48 cores (96 threads) 2 xeon 24 cores, 128 GB Ram,
- or a station with one big single-processor type i9 and two node stations with many hearts type big xeon and 64 GB of ram each ....

Do you have an opinion? what do you think is the best choice?
thank you.

General CG Discussion / one more hardware configuration

« on: 2019-02-19, 19:00:19 »

Hi everyone...

like many of us, here I am at the moment of my life where I must (one more time) change my workstation ... poor of me .. hey hey hey ... :)

so I play to find the config that will match me best ...

Since I st up mu compagny in 2004, I use DELL, robust and no problem, can be a bit expensive but I think continue with ... to see .. open to everything.

I started to look on the web what is happening with the components, and then I talked a bit with my computer scientist ...

But your opinion of 3DS corona user and 3D graphic artist interposes me

I'm going to keep my current workstation to manage Lumion, with a 1080 ti and 56 GB ram, as Lumion only works on the GPU it will do and I could still use this tower as a slave for my future corona render farm.

For the design of the new tower, I am based on the softs that I will use daily.

Autocad and Inventor for my models then 3DS and Corona for rendering ...

so I looked for some info on the corona forum and their benchmark ...

https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/results

I arrived at a config composed of 2 Xeon Platinum 8168 24 core and 128 GB of Ram. (more details in the config attached) I have a nice budget and want to please me ...

I am looking for something very, very fast in terms of calculation, I will recover the 980 ti of my current tower which will be largely enough ..

What about rysen I hear about? does anyone have an opinion on the different Xeon platinium? 128 GB or 192 of ram ?? Do you need a liquid cooling system? dell do not propose it to me in the config ...

thank you in advance for your feedback.

Do you Know if MultiTexture are well converted and well exported with UMC ?
because form the moment with MultyConverter, it doesn't work for my floor made with Floorgenerator...

hello everyone, what advice can you give me for the export of a 3DS file made under Corona in twinmotion? I would like to keep the materials. I heard that the Corona file should be converted to a standard 3DS file, then exported to fbx to preserve the material ... is this correct? Do you have similar experiences?
do you know how to convert Corona Material to Standard material?
thank you in advance.

Hello,
since I move to Corona 2, my DR doesn't work...
On the screen of one of my two slave, on the window of DR it's noticed "Status: Closed" in red color...
I also updated this slave, of course..
the other work well...
Do you know what is the problem?
thank you

hi maru, thank you.
Yes, I know that corona does not work on the GC .. it's not what I meant ..
I only have a problem with my GC, corona sends me a message in relation, and especially when I go on the link indicated, I do not understand what is explained.
between my technical aproximative English and technical definitions I do not know what is the problem and how to fix it ...

Hello,
for several months I have problems with my graphics card ...
right now corona gives me this message ..
I am not sure to understand the reason and especially do you have the solution to this problem?
thanks in advance.

hello, i'd light to try this new version... I'm working on a project with 1.7 version... I prefer continue with this version until I finish..
is it possible to instal version 2 on my 3 computers (1 master and  2 slave for DR) and use it for testing on one side and on the other continue to use 1.7?
if yes that is the way?
thank you.
yanosh.
