and about the RTX, I initially ordered the MSI X Trio, but later found that it doesn't fit in my PC case. Also it takes up 3 slots. Only The Founders Edition and few other cards are 2 slot cards, slim enough to stack multiple GPUs. Luckily I found them on stock on the official website and ordered it, cancelling the MSI. The only downside is the cooling isn't great.
I'm still waiting for my PSU to arrive tomorrow,.. so right now using only 1 card and, it's very fast for rendering.

I see..I also paused the shooting for a while. need an upgrade..lol.
You know when I saw your car photos back when you were posting in camera section, first I thought it's good. Later I kinda thought is it from the camera?. Now knowing the other side of you, those could probably from GPUs or are they from camera? ;)

haha..well, the ones i posted on photography thread are photos. I also used to post CGI renders on an art thread here.
Everything on my artstation portfolio are CGI renders. I try to achieve photorealism in my renders, so some of them may look real. +the 3d models I use are original 3D CAD data from the vehicle manufacturer, so they look flawless when rendered.

Raziel was the original badass. Too bad Defiance ending left a bad taste. So many unanswered questions in the series like what happened to Janos, etc.
Good to see another fan.

How do you get those,aren't they proprietary info?
Yes, they are. I have an agreement with an agency I'm working, which allows me to use some of the models. Also a NDA which restricts sharing of such files.

True! The first Soul Reaver is still my most fav, also Blood Omen.


Great. Can you share some video samples if you don't mind.
I don't normally record any videos, but here's a small clip of rendering Mercedes CLS Interior using my old Gainward GTX 1070.
I am using 3ds Max and a new gpu render engine called FStorm.

As you can see from the video it renders the scene in under 3 minutes, which is extremely fast than rendering using CPUs.
And right now, a single RTX 2080 Ti renders twice faster than a 1080Ti, and 2 RTX 2080Ti = 5 1080Tis.

I have many commercial shots of Mercedes and BMWs I've done but restricted to share due to the contract.

Why can't they use real images?
Because CGI is more convenient.
To photograph them you need specialized studios with big overhead softbox and lights n stuffs. And to shoot different colors and configurations it's again a lot of work.

With CGI you can do all these changes easily. Light it the way you want, change paints, different interior configurations, different types of leather, fabric and so on. You can also create views like xray, chassis, cutaway and so on which isn't quite possible with photography.
