Prototype 2.0 38% faster than original farm! (while using the same 3 computers)
After a successful render over a wireless distribution with less than satisfactory speeds over Wireless g weighing in at 16 min for complete render a new test was performed. This time the same render was taken through a gigabit switch and was able to complete the render in 10min.For a comparison I rendered the same scene with the same rendering engine and the result was a failure due to the complexity of the scene and the lack of resources. It is expected that if it had not failed the render would have taken 40 min (4 min per cycle plus final gather. With Revit the render could have taken over an hour. This test was performed with a complex scene of a basement on production level rendering quality. One thing of note is that the render done by the render farm had some lighting imperfections allong with noticeable strips where they were spliced, however, with some tinkering I am sure that a completely succsessful and extreemly fast result is in the near future.
