Rendering is 20x faster than a 8 core CPU. And they get real time display at 7-12 FPS. Very, very impressive....

They are using a pretty modest Nvidia card ($250-$300 range/240 GPU cores.). The thing should fly if you hook it to one of the Nvidia Tesla systems (960 cores!).
Holy mother of God thats cool...
Re: Real Time Rendering....
Yep--very cool indeed.

Re: Real Time Rendering....
It certianly changes our future planning for rendering farms. Right now we're using a farm with 8-10 computers each with 2-4 cores for around 20-30 buckets. 2200x1238 exteriors with an HRDI sky and sun setup on a high poly count rendering with plenty of reflections run 7-15 min. 2200x1238 Interiors with 40-50 IES lights run 20-30 min. Our worse case scenario is a casino with 2000 slot machines all as light sources and 200 other IES lights - 4 hr. (Ya - I like to do silly stuff like that.)
If the extrapolation from the demo is close to real world - then a single Tesla rendering farm would be doing the exteriors in 10 sec. And the interiors in 20 sec. That's a game changer if the number hold up on the final release. Even our "way too many lights" renderings would drop to 3 min!
Re: Real Time Rendering....
Hey there,
One word.....WOW!
Re: Real Time Rendering....
Ok, I'll add one more word...
:shock: HOLY WOW :shock:
that's im-press-ive!
Re: Real Time Rendering....
Imagine if that could run on a farm. You could walk through a fully rendered building with full complexity at 30fps. Whew!
HOLY MOTHER OF $%# !!! I WANT IT!

The CPU version is available now and runs on a farm. Of course the GPU will be faster.

Re: Real Time Rendering....
This is an awesome demo, and I WANT this on my computer. Realtime feedback of materials and lighting will be invaluable.
