Future update request
SDS stirred my curiosity when he said (I’m totally sold on the new cheif architect rendering engine “raytrace”)
So i decided I’m gonna sign up and just watch the release on X13 to see what’s new for them and thought this is something that Cadsoft should really consider.
They changed their rendering engine so that you can make it run the render using the graphics card instead of the CPU. (i know that they are trying to make some CPU capable of matching a graphics card power “i guess you could say” but not sure if that’ll happen)
They showed the numbers and it looked like it trims the render time by a thousand times (maybe more didn’t figure it out forgive me)
The cpu render took 2 hours
The 2070 graphics card render took 7 seconds. the 3080 took like 3 seconds
I know they prolly made those numbers it little bit better than it was because they ran a render to show the people and and it took maybe 10 seconds I’m guessing.
I also understand that the quality of the render might make the time change some.
But i guess i just thought that this was something that kinda impressed me, because it very obviously speeds up the render if you have the capability to do that. you wouldn’t need a rendering Que like i do.
My first thought was i bet the people at Cadsoft are capable of creating the same thing.
Would it be to late for this update (i don’t know because i don’t know how long it takes to make software changes like that)
But i would like to hear someone else’s thoughts (from Cadsoft) on this idea (or anyone else).
