Carlosan Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Sorry for this: Why Smart material preview render is more powerful that Render Room preview ? Could be unified -in a future roadmap- as one unique preview for all rooms ? ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member BurrMan Posted May 28, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 New build, default mid or large voxel sphere. Grow tool - Brush depth anything above 300% = reversed stroke. (Tool eats geometry)... FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted May 28, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Are there any benefits from CUDA versions of 3DC? I can't see the difference. No, in fact Andrew doesn't bother upgrading the version of CUDA used and doesn't really like it; it's clumsy to program with. Looks like he's going with OpenGL/Mantle/Vulcan in development though for me right now DirectX works best.

Contributor artman Posted May 28, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Are there any benefits from CUDA versions of 3DC? I can't see the difference. there is a significant increase in some brushes speed in voxel mode ex: Grow (surface mode is not affected) also if "cuda smooth boost" from voxel menu is activated it gives a pretty strong kick to smoothing speed in voxel mode, meaning you can use larger radius before experiencing bottleneck. And it might also speed up some voxel operation here and there that Im not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I export Diffuse, Specular, and Normal map (non-pbr)? Thanks again If you don't need PBR just choose Textures->Texture export workflow->Gloss/Specular color Also View->Greyscale panoramas It will be closest to previous approach.
