Wow... There's some nice dogs! Thank you for feedback. These ‚dogs‘ are actually very liw poly cows with procedural pattern (local and global added then remapped value from 0 to 2 and x to y, where x and y have been adjusted until pattern color looked okay and local and global have different x,y,z ...

Looking forward to trying it!

Sounds great. Please, developers do so. Thanks!

Hi Racleborgand B.Y.O.B Memory usage for 2'700'000 with simple particle hair setup for an image with 1080^2 pixels is really quite memory demanding even with optimisation set to save memory. Furry Ball 6.jpeg During the last year I've modernised Mac and PC with SSDs and more ram and the PC with a se...

@FarbigeWel Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that. I suspect the issue is simply that I'm asking too much from my old PC! Who knows, my Mac is mid 2010 and my PC early 2014, both doing a good job. I am used to update only if speed of the new one is at least 5x faster. And this means Amd Threadripper 2, ...

@FarbigeWelt Thank you. I was struggling with the velvet shader (have since got a better understanding of it) so tried to use hair particles to make the actual fibres - but to create enough of them (millions) my PC would go into Not Responding mode! Before I start renders with 0.1 to 2.0 Mparticles...

Hi Racleborg

Congrats for this great sofa. It’s already a great work and I see you are going in the right direction.

When did you try to use the hair method?

Cheers

I have more ideas, but not all will be possible to render on my hardware, Bidir with no GPU support and no integrated denoiser has its limits. I‘ve planned to setup example scenes and write a short what-to-consider for CPU BiDir, Metropolis and Filters settings to get quite fast renders for caustic...

Standalone luxcorerender 2.1, CPU version, runs well on Mac OSX 13 even with more complex scenes, although loading time for a 41 MB binary scene was several minutes (scene with grass and trees, 16.2 MTris). So far, you have done a very good job, Rob! Its hard to me, waiting for the blender plugin.. :D

Great!
