I've used it in Houdini BUT uh...what a mess it all is...I'll tell you more about it later. Sad.

Is the company teasing a specific new graphics card? a new product line of superclocked variants of its current Turing lineup? or perhaps next generation gaming laptops? It’s hard to tell

Wow. Both those films are really good, but the first one is especially. Love the visuals in both of them, actually I kind of like everything about them.
You know why I posted this? Because it's all very enjoyable to watch, and yet there's nothing there that most of use couldn't do using 3D Coat and Blender etc. It's doable and I hope you're all inspired to do your own projects. Don't be afraid of failure.

https://wccftech.com/intel-xe-gpu-supports-ray-tracing/
Intel has just announced something pretty big at FMX in Germany: that their Xe GPU architecture will support hardware acceleration of Ray tracing. This is a pretty big deal because it puts this architecture on par with Turing as far as DXR goes and makes it far superior to solutions that rely on software or GPGPU acceleration (like the Pascal series). Ray tracing is a bleeding edge technology right now and pretty much in its infancy for the consumer market but has pretty huge implications in the data center segment as of now.
Intel Xe supports ray tracing
Ray tracing has deep reaching implications in the data center market. Ray tracing for big budget movies like Pixar films is done traditionally on CPUs because they are 100% accurate. Unfortunately however, they are also orders of magnitude slower. If a GPU solution exists that can offer a high level of accuracy (preferably 100%) at a GPU levels of speed then this would quickly revolutionize he brief of the announcement made at FMX is given below:At FMX, Intel Graphics-related news will be disclosed that Intel:
Xe architecture roadmap for data center optimized rendering includes ray tracing hardware acceleration support for the Intel® Rendering Framework family of API’s and libraries.
Establishing the Intel® Graphics and Visualization Institutes of XeLLENCE (Intel® GVI) and has selected three founding institutions (University of Utah, University of Texas, Austin and University of Stuttgart) to participate based on their significant open research and open source contributions related to Intel Rendering Framework, large scale graphics and visualization.
Building on the Intel Rendering Framework with the introduction of the Intel® Open Volume Kernel Library (set for release in Q3 2019) to enhance support for volume rendering – a critical capability for scientific visualization and high-end digital content creation.
Intel also talked about the rendering performance of its processors at FMX but that is something that is just an iterative improvement and not something as revolutionary as an Xe datacenter GPU with hardware acceleration for Ray tracing. Now considering the company was talking about PIXAR and the likes I am going to assume the ray tracing implementation features a very high and close to 100% rate of accuracy. I cannot imagine that it is 100% because if that were the case the CPU rendering industry would be completely and irrevocably disrupted as soon as the first Xe GPU lands.
A close to 100% ray tracing accuracy would allow budget film makers and significantly lower the threshold for high quality animations in the film industry. In fact, the average laymen would probably find it impossible to tell the difference between a CPU and a GPU ray traced image. Needless to say this is very exciting stuff and we can definitely expect this technology to be part of a consumer lineup of GPUs as well – whenever they land.

Elliot Lilly Art eh?
Intredasting.
I wish my replacement power supply would get back to me so I could participate in this.

Here's another Gumroad Houdini plug in for doing architectural modeling in Houdini, called Houdini Architecture Nodes - Pack #1
By Quaternioff Procedural Tools. It's $19.99.Create complex structures in hours instead of days! These are the first batch of procedural modeling tools designed to accelerate the creation of surfaces commonly used in architecture.
Made for Houdini Indie. No black boxing; all the internal networks and code are accessible.

Wow, dodged a bullet;
Corsair is recalling one lot (fewer than 1%) of its Platinum closed-loop liquid coolers due to a known leak. This issue isn't widespread, fortunately, but owners of affected coolers should respond to the recall.
FF to 9:19 mark

Oh, I see. Strange Temp readings. I use CPUID HWMonitor and it displays the CPU Package (node) temps, which show 29-30C when idle or low usage. Glad you got it resolved.
Yeah I'll use it too once I get CPUID installed in Windows but I haven't installed Windows yet. Just reading off the AMD UEFI for now.

Between 60-65C under constant load @ 4Ghz across all cores. Is that temperature only when the case door is attached/closed? Try plugging the CPU cooler fan connector to another CPU fan header. My MB has CPU fan and CPU fan Optional. It also has one for CPU pump (for AIO's). With your BIOS showing a Water Pump Speed, that makes me think you have the Dark Rock Pro TR4 fan connector plugged into the Water Pump header and not the main CPU fan header, on your MB.
Also, a thick layer of thermal paste is not good. A light, even layer on the whole CPU die is best. With decent airflow through the case, your CPU temps should be around 30C when idle or not under a heavy load.
Actually problem solved

It's running 61.5C now with three additional fans put in. What temps do you get under load?
https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-review,8.html
To what extent should I take this offset for consistent fan policy into account with my CPU temp? My radiator feels pretty cool to the touch. Even the heat pipes down at the bottom of the radiator are quite cool.
Is your CPUID HWMonitor taking into account this AMD Offset for consistent fan policy or is it giving a direct readout of the True Junction Temp (Tdie)?
So if my UEFI is reporting CPU Temp (tCTL) of 61.5 C - tCTL offset for Fan Policy of 27 C = True Junction Temperature (Tdie) of 34.5 C ??

That looks pretty cool. Try boosting the clock to 4.0Ghz and see how it performs. I set my CPU voltage to 1.34. You might be able to set your voltage a bit lower.
I plugged in the two front fans and the CPU temp dropped to a steady 64C. I've got three more 120mm fans for that mid case rack so that will probably lower it a bit more.
What's your temperature range between idle and load?
-
Installed the Dark Rock TR4 and also seated the second 32 GB of RAM in their correct slots and fired it up; getting a solid 64C. I used the Thermal Paste that came with the Dark Rock air cooler.
That glowing Radeon VII logo sure looks pretty.
And all sitting behind 4320 Joules of surge protection. It's nice that I didn't have to spend a fortune on a UPS just to get surge protection.

I just bought one; I'll use the 1tb M2 to run the OS and I'll install all my software to the San Disk.

I have a 16 inch version. I find it rather sluggish in comparison to my workstation. On light 3D work it will do the job.
Don't expect it to be smooth on bigger scenes...the cpu is not that great. 16 is more than enough, big scenes that need that much ram, are not workable on the wacom.If 3D is your main work, I would search for a better cpu based laptop. Like the new 4core or 6cores. I'd much rather have got a top tier laptop + a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro Drawing Tablet With Screen vs the all-in-one. I use it mainly for drawing and touch ups.
Note: portable it's fine for sketches, when doing intensive work you need to plug in. I bought one of those laptop stance with ventilation to fight the heat throttling.
You know that XP Pen series are really great value for the dollar. I've seen other Wacom competitors and didn't think much fo them but these are really good, even the tablets...they're just dirt cheap.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Those are crazy low prices. Just to compare; the wacom Intuos pads are like $600 now...
That Artist Display 22E Pro comes with a good stand, better than teh stock Cintique, it's 1920 x 1080 pixels, comes with a glove, a 8000 pressure level pen for $569 USD. And it looks like it's better quality than the Huion.
