  EXPORT ZBrush Hair to ORNATRIX 3ds Max. Episode 2: V-Ray Render & Real-Time Look Dev in Chaos Vantage In this second episode, we take the next crucial step with the hair we prepared in our first video.

Using the quick groom we created in ZBrush as our example, our team will demonstrate the complete workflow for setting up lighting, materials, and performing real-time look dev with the powerful combination of Ornatrix, V-Ray, and Chaos Vantage. This guide is designed to help your team master the techniques for iterating on any hairstyle, allowing you to efficiently explore and finalize its look.

Octane Render speed test with 4 billion polys(instances). 2x2080TI NVlink.

Image
Since NVLink in Octane Render doesn't work with the test that it already did on V-Ray and Redshift, I decided to just check Instances and the speed of the new version. In principle, I think that the subsequent tests will already be done with Instance. Since, a few people use copies, and this was purely for interest, in order to take maximum GPU-memory. After all, then - I didn't come up with anything else =) As a result, Octane behaves calmly at 4 billion, I think, like other renders with Instance. But 3dsmax is buggy in statistics and goes into some obscure minuses.
