KurtF Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Saw this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LagqqsVO28 It shows Dual cards - a Tesla for simulation, and a Quadra for rendering. The speed is phenomonal. Maybe someday we can have something like this in EIAS. Quote
Tomas Egger Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Ola Kurt!! Its a really interesting new research from NVIDIA.. the mix of CPU+GPU distributed simulations over the farm is the future for sure, lots of Pro fluid simulation software are doing this right now.. I found this one interesting: http://www.exoticmatter.com/demo-graphs/ Thanks Tom Quote
Diego Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 Hi, I really miss some sort of usable particles in EIAS, particles that can be rendered via Renderama. Nvidia Maximus is incredible and Naiad too, I hope soon to be addressed. Cheers Diego Quote
KurtF Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Posted May 20, 2012 Hello Tomas, Diego, nice links for the Naiad simulations. It would be great to get more powerful functionality into EIAS. Hopefully the overhaul of Animator will allow for a more balanced and rapid development cycle. The wait is agony of course. Let's have version 9 soon. Quote
AVTPro Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 Is the Cudo technology or GPU, Tesla and Quadro available on the Mac with Maya? I already have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 and a Red Rocket Card in my 12 core. I know I am going to need Cudo card if I want to use Davinci for my RED camera. What options are available for harnessing this RT Fluid technology on the Mac. Also, does it work with ALL fluid effects like smoke and fire or only water? Thanks. Any insight would be helpful. Quote
AVTPro Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 I'll be honest, those technologies are so "cuttiing edge" and really still in development I don't thing it's practicle for EIAS. Also, those apps cost "5K" and up. EIAS is a fraction of the cost. I recently used EIAS on a FBX project, and Also, MDD. Those type are upgrades are very practical and efficient to me. ...and free.

KurtF Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 How about this then? http://vimeo.com/45359468#at=0 Fun with flocking and other behaviors, volume filling and the like. Quote
KurtF Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 Glad you guys liked it. Looking forward to the release of EIAS 9. Quote
