Tony DeYoung pointed me to an interesting post on the StudioGPU blog showing off work from Chad Wanstreet, Technical Director at Speedshape Detroit. In the post he shows some architectural renderings made with Machstudio Pro, after modeling with 3dsMax, that were rendered in 5 separate passes in a total of 5 minutes.
“Machstudio provides me with a quick feedback loop for my concepts, and the ability to create animations very quickly, which I love. Too many of the tools which designers and architects use for quick concept work focus only on volumes and materials, and miss out on light, time and the relationship of the two.” (bold is my editorial)
It was all done on a single PC, rather than the traditional farm. A great example of what GPU acceleration will mean in the near future.
