RTX ON! (... my ass. lol)
Added 2021-09-07 20:53:04 +0000 UTCJust made some hard fixes on the Dorm District Pool and even placed some displacement and raytracing in the background buildings windows so they would blend better with the scene (those are old models, you know...).
That reminded me that a RTX 3070 is costing AT LEAST 1500 U$D here in Brazil, meaning that I may postpone a real upgrade (that would turn this PC into a backup computer) for a long time. It must be an Nvidia 'cause even if I don't render on iRay the stories I still use it for some work/resource renders, so, a 3070 would be the only reasonable buy...
About the rest of the system, it is still complicated 'cause I would recycle very little of my actual computer on a new one: despite the U$D 1K Ryzen 5950 being at a "great price" now all the rest needed would render a big hole at my pocket... the only "safe" motherboard to use it has stuff I don't use that weights a lot in the price and I won't pay extra for useless stuff or buy mid range boards to cape the processor like I did on this computer.
Damn MSI decided to cheap out on the VRM... or weren't they aware of how hungry 2700X is? My board is great on the rest but 2700x toast the VRM if not caped and there weren't much better options at that time...
ANYWAY, back to the render tests, I believe it is almost done now, I'm very confident on it, though I may have to make a small break to take care of real life stuff this week.
I spent a lot of time revising the timeline and I still need to do the scene tests, time is short and I want to begin the main flashbacks, present some new characters and prepare for Domina's Valley 28 next.
Oh, that bath tub, I like it. I'm using that for, IDK, a nice chapter ;P
