  1. It's interesting to hear your opinion on this Janine : ) Re Blender: The one thing that has deterred me from learning it is the 'undo situation'. From what I've read undo can be a real issue if you're dealing with big files - lots of polys / objects - which is typically my situation. I'm not sure if this is a 'fundamental / architecture' type issue that will not be solved - at least in the mid term, or not. Any thoughts on that?
  2. Very cool and fun stuff!
  3. ROFL ! - check out my icons : )
  4. If the scene fits in card memory... 6, 8, or 11 GB won't matter. 11GB is better - you can handle bigger scenes without needing Redshift to use out of core memory - which will slow things down - but unless you're dealing with huge geometry and multiple massive texture maps an 8GB card will do fine. I recently rendered 8 million instances (circa 25 billion polys) on my 3x 1070 Ti's (8GB) without a problem ; )
  5. Glad it helped : ) The render looks good. Now that the mining boom has cooled off I bet there are some good Ebay deals on second hand 1070 Ti's and the like : )
  6. To fix your Aliasing issue on the superbright shutters I think you need to look up help on the 'Max Subsample Intensity' in the Sample Filtering settings of the Redshift render settings. I don't know, but 17 minutes sounds like a long time for this render to me, even with a 970. What is your render time for the Redshift Benchmark image: https://www.redshift3d.com/forums/viewthread/12843/ Hope this helps.

    Fantastic! You've got some great stuff there, and I'm personally really looking forwards to the material nodes playlist. I'll also be recommending the intro stuff to a colleague of mine who is just starting to use C4D.

    Thank you! I'm very much looking forward to viewing these!
  9. Understood : ) There's some good stuff on Lynda.com . You used to be able to get a free 30 day trail, not sure if that's still available - but it would be worth a look.
  10. Well, if you have a budget I have over 20 years experience as an Adobe Certified After Effects Instructor - I'm based in the UK, but Amsterdam is just a short hop away. 2 days would enable me to get you up and running. If you want to go from 'zero to hero' budget 5 days. Send me a PM if you want a quote : )
  11. One thing I really hope for is that MAXON add a few of the missing elements - 'SSS in the material nodes' being just one example - during the R20 cycle. It's crazy if we have to wait 12 months for such minor upgrades. Small, but significant missing elements such as these can be a real issue in adopting new features.
  12. I really hope we don't have to wait that long for it - but I suspect we will...
