Jason Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Wow Wow Wee Waa! great job .. Dajuice. thanks for the scene file. 22101[/snapback] It would be great to see what performance and quality improvements have occurred in Houdini 8 with this scene, no? How 'bout it DaJuice or Altbighead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJuice Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Interesting results. I rendered the scene with low-quality settings. H7: 1min 33sec H8: 20sec Nice speedup. Looks better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaJuice Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I never added any of the H9+ stuff to this thread. Ok here we go then. Mantra has really come a long way since those earlier posts. Mmmmmm, PBR <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Meyer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Can I get a .hipnc for this? I would love to learn from both the setup of geometry and current PBR settings. P.S. I like the underwear gnome reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Very nice DaJuice! By the way, still an IRIX user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJuice Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks MG! And no... it was time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Thanks MG! And no... it was time to move on. No problem, I've been very busy myself during these last few years. I've been working with Houdini all that time, only not very intensively (not as much as I'd like to). It's nice to see this forum still alive and well, and familiar people like yourself. The reason I asked you about IRIX is because not all too long ago I got my hands on a Tezro, and I definitely don't want to 'move on' and away from it yet! With a FC HDD-array and all, it's really nice. The kind of quality you will rarely find nowadays, even if the CPU speed isn't on par with the nowadays' faster/fastest x86 systems (the throughput is amazing). I'd say, the reason why Linux is so good and so successful is probably because it can look a lot like IRIX. But then, Linux only if you have a system that is hand-picked to work with the configuration (and drivers available for it). By the way, what kind of SGI system do/did you have? It's such a shame SGI gave up on its MIPS-powered IRIX line. Well till in 2007, studios have been using SGIs. It has only decreased since then, except for some fields (medical/scientific research [for MRI scanning, even O2s are still doing that nicely I heard recently], some post-production studios still have SGI-powered IFFFS suites to name a few things).

DaJuice Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nice. I really wouldn't mind a Tezro myself, that's a sexy machine right there. What do you use it for? I still check nekochan from time to time, I know there's a decent amount of GNU stuff that the community has put together for IRIX. I've got an ol' Octane that is sitting in the closet right now. I don't have sync-on-green monitor for it anymore, or space really. IRIX was actually my first introduction to UNIX, and I didn't touch Linux until a good while later.

MG Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Sorry for the late answer! For some reason I didn't receive any e-mail notifcation. Nice. I really wouldn't mind a Tezro myself, that's a sexy machine right there. What do you use it for? Believe it or not, it became my main 'workstation' if you will. I use it all the time. I've also gotten a fibre channel disk array with it, it's amazing and I've pledged to never use Windoze again unless I'm forced to. Unfortunately, I am forced to for university work, for that I use my Win.XP64 laptop (which is unfortunate enough not to be able to run Linux effectively, due to a lack of several very important kernel drivers; like for the LAN and WLAN adapters). As for actual purposes, I'm into a lot of compositing and editing (for which SGI is Edited February 20, 2009 by MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumpa Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 hehe, i recently installed flame 7 on octane2, and i got reminiscent of the day when i saw power animator running on indigo2 for the very first time:) Ahhhh, those were the days.... Btw, anyone tried Indigo Magic Desktop for linux ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 additionally I also love to develop software. Especially for RISC platforms like ARM and MIPS. This sounds odd to me. How is developing software on an ARM/MIPS platform going to matter unless you're programming in Assembly? Oh, *are* programming in Assembly?
