dineshveliath Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Friends, Just started using Houdini, and am undergoing paid tutorials as well. However, the viewport and some simulations along with render times are very slow. I use a MacPro 6,1 quad core, with 64 GB memory with the (unsupported) FirePro D300 graphics card.(OS Catalina) Since i am not in a position to upgrade my system, the idea of using a virtual desktop/virtual workstation seems like an avenue, i would like to check out. There was a 3rd party vendor, who had mentioned (in these forums) that they provide virtual desktop solutions for Houdini, but on contacting,them they informed me, that they had put the solution on hold. Could the members of these forums guide me in this ? On searching through google, there are 5-6 vendors, that provide virtual desktop/workstations…specifically for design/CAD/modelling Vmware along with Nvidia, also has a workstation solution. I am not all that tech savvy , so i thought, i would get the recommendation of this forum, before i approach them. I am not sure of the technical specifications that are needed, for me to run these virtual machines. Any help or guidance, in breaking down the technical jargon or recommendations, would be appreciated Thanks Dinesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiruim Farm Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hello Dinesh! We have GPU nodes with 3x, 4x, 7x GTX1080ti If you are still interested - drop me a line, I will organize free access for testing. At least it will help you decide what exactly you need.
