I have some exciting news for you all. The
Splooge Beast is operational! As mentioned before, I got a little ahead of myself and started putting this thing together before we actually hit our goal. This thing has three 2080 Ti's and and one 1080 Ti. Once Octane Render is actually capable of utilizing the RTX cores, I will replace the 1080 Ti with another 2080 Ti. This new machine should theoretically double the speed of renders. Don't expect
twice the amount of content as a large part of game making is setting up the scenes, post-process, etc. However, this is a
huge boost is productivity. It also sounds like a god-damn jet engine with fans running at 100% during render.
I just put it together an hour ago. I'm now doing bench testing to make sure everything is working as it should. Hopefully, there are no hardware issues and we have a stable machine. It's been such a pain in the ass to migrate everything over from the old system. I've spent 3 days organizing all my assets on the old system and looks like will have to do that again for the new one. I hope later this week I can start showing some render previews once we are 100% operational again.
Anyways, I'm really excited about this new space heater. When I pay my credit card bill next month I'll need y'all to cheer me up in Discord. Tommy's Sex-ed NSFW channel could use new material that will really improve my mood
Love all you bastards,
Dom
