Hey d5 team,
Today I used new Ai stuff in D5 they are brilliant but just make them available for local usage. I have a powerfull gpu and my computer can handle all that stuff. Probably many people too because we all do 3D rendering and have high-end GPUs.
I am a long time user of D5 render, since the first beta release of it. That day you made a decision to not support non-RTX cards and that was awesome. We had all the latest tech in app without stupid workarounds of backwards compatibility. Just make that decision again and drop the Ai cloud thing. And you can save some bucks from server costs. We all already burn electricity in our computers. I am willing to pay all the costs of local ai in my computer. You can also provide cloud ai if you want with a credit model, but I feel like your first priority should be local Ai modal.
100% - It just takes too long (seems to be getting worse), taking even longer than the actual render. This would be amazing.
I do agree with adding a local AI functionality, for all of us with powerful GPUs to do it locally, that will for sure release some stress from D5 Servers, specially some projects are constraint on cloud rendering due to client privacy concerns and requirements for this functionalities to run locally so we can keep all projects data private.
I don’t agree with the token/credit model basis, you are suggesting, it should be available for all of those who can’t afford to pay for a powerful setup.
And specially not for those that are paying a subscription (maybe subscription prices can I crease to accommodate more demand for this features?) nor those that have a lifetime passport who supported the software from the very early stages and that keep doing so till today.
Best wishes to all!
