My name is Max, and my professional field is exhibition design. Large trade fairs, booths, stands, events, etc. Sometimes I render interiors. In general only simple scenes approx 5-10 million polys. Also good to say there is no need for exteriors with loads of plants that consumes a lot of PC resources.
And here are my questions:
At the moment I have GTX 970 which is not supported so I can’t check your software.
Now I’m going to upgrade my system and choose between the latest GPU: RTX 3060 and 3070.
3060 has 3584 cores and 12 GB of memory
3070 has 5888 cores and 8 GB.
Could you please clarify which parameter has much influence on the rendering time and editing process in your software?
Does your software unite cards in one powerful resource? For example: If I’ll add in the future one more card: 2x3060 or 2x3070 or even 3060+3070. Does it have any impact?
If I have 2 or more GPUs, may I choose how many cards are in use? For example: while one project is rendering so I would like to do another project in parallel but on another video card.
Hi Oliver)
I bought 3070.
In general, D5 works fine but not in my case… I’ve used the plugin for exporting files from max and opened it in D5. All materials & textures there are gone. Just white model =(
So now I’m trying to find the solution. Maybe something that I missed before doing export
Hi, you use the plugin to export D5A or SKP file? If their materials are gone, please let me know what type of material it is, corona or vray?
Also, you could try the Sync function of the plugin, by this way, it can support more materials.
Hi there!
I’m using 3dsmax21+corona8.
Also, I’ve tested my scene on another machine with an old corona - and had the same situation, unfortunately.
I did check different options and had my scene becomes just white in all cases.
Button “start d5” from the max toolbar.
“Sync” only synchronizes the rotation of the viewport.
D5A export. After opening the file in d5 I had all elements of my scene collapsed into one 3d element by a material. For example: if I had 3 white chairs in 3dsmax - in d5 I have them as 1 collapsed element. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, because the whole scene in D5 became white.
SKP export - opened in d5 - same as in the previous article.
Also made a clean scene with primitives (sphere, box, plane, teapot).
And did all the same stuff… But had the same white scene as a result.
At the beginning of testing the D5 render, I suggested it doesn’t support corona renderer while exporting from 3dsmax. But later I did a scene with two types of materials (vray and corona) - then pressed the “play button” and again - had the same white material on the whole 3d scene.
Only in one case did I have a positive result: when I converted my corona scene into vray, and exported it into d5a format. Here I’ve got materials as they are supposed to be. And even here not all of them (due to vray-corona converter issues I guess).
To be honest I would say, this is the ridiculous way.
I’m aware that your software is not ready yet for exporting corona render materials in the correct way.
OR I have some individual bugs on my computer with D5.
Don’t know what to say for now. It is what it is…
PS:
I took a simple 3d scene for testing which has only 1,5 mil polys. D5 takes over 3Gb of VRAM in LQ-preview. This is much more than unreal software uses with the same 3d scene. I’ve opened it in unreal and it took only 2gb. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Looks like I’ve found the source of my problem. When I got the installer of D5 with converter - it was an old one. Now I see the new version which was updated. And hallelujah! IT WORKS =)
You can’t even imagine how I’m happy right now . Have a good day, Oliver!
I will keep testing and hope all goes well!
Hi
It seems that I really like D5 after 1 day of using it))
Could you please give me some advice?
If I have ideas and comments for improvements to the interface and some functions where should I send 'em? Would be better to make one e-mail with all points, or one more topic here on the forum (another tech thread with ideas)?
Is it possible and useful to have something like a “poll” to see votes from others for the most wanted features in the next update? Or maybe it exists already somewhere here on the forum?
. Have a good day, Oliver!
have a nice day~
