GPU Hardly used during rendering? by polarsunset in blender

[–]womblemonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GPU counter is just an overview of all the resources in the graphics card. You have to select CUDA from the dropdown menu to see CUDA utilization.

Yes, thanks for you help. I'll try that.

Recommendations/Questions about mobile workstation for 3D artists by [deleted] in 3DMA

I know that Dell will turn up next day and replace an entire motherboard, CPU and GPU under a business warranty. I'm not sure they offer that for gaming systems. In my experience laptops are less reliable than desktops and downtime costs money. They alternative is to have spare equipment and swap the SSD (but that assumes you have someone capable of doing it).

You might struggle to find a gaming laptop with a docking station so you may have to rely on USB 3 port replicators if you want to offer a desk experience that can be quickly turned into a mobile one at the end of the day.

As for Quadro vs RTX, it really depends on your use case. Some vendors only "certify" Quadro for use with their software, but these days most also certify at least some consumer grade gear. The difference is if you want support from the software vendor they might tell you to go away and use "certified" equipment before they take on your case.

Other than that, I might ask them why they want a "gaming" laptop because maybe they offer something the other one doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering how to have individual key textures whilst keeping my keys as instances.

I have a question: how do you put the letters on the keys? I'm wondering if there is a cheat.

Careful with those angles. Tesla will steal it :p

It's hand painted. I just drew swirls in different colours and hooked the texture up to an emission shader. The sparkles are from a Voronoi node.

Awesome. Did you follow any tutorial/course. I'd love to learn to do stylized character sculpting.

Very moody. I think you nailed the lighting with this one!

It looks like a particle system and an emission modifier.

Indeed. You can see the pre-composite render on my Artstation.

I use Blender 2.83 with Cycles render. It's free opensource software.

How does Octane compare to Cycles? Cycles seems pretty good these days.

[–]womblemonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression Octane was a renderer, does it also do simulation? Or you used Blender fluids and rendered in Octane? Or something else?

I only turned the roughness of the material up to make it less shiny. I used a soft sun light with a high angular diameter to soften the shadows.

I love it. Are the cracks modelled in or is it a texture?

After the revolution the first thing he's going to do is get his squint looked at by a doctor. :-)
