Results of the AMD/StudioGPU deal

It’s been a few weeks since the AMD/StudioGPU deal was announced, and people are now getting to try it out and see just what it means.  Working with MachStudio pro, Tony DeYoung of the FireUser.com site rendering a short video using the new technology and was amazed at how well it worked.

Now what’s not really apparent about this video is how it was created – what was the workflow. Traditional 3D workflows are model and animate, followed by lighting, materials, fx. Once you reach the lighting stage, you do a setup, then a test render. Then you adjust. Then you do another test render and repeat until you our out of time or until it is ‘good enough’. Same is true for materials, fx, etc. Each change no matter how small requires setup, a test render and then final render.
