HumbleChief Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Never set up a poll so please excuse any bonehead parts or pieces. The reason for the poll is that I find I almost never Ray Trace any more. Had a machine that was previously set up for Ray Tracing back in the day but find I use walk throughs and standard view for almost all of my presentations. You?

MarkMc Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Very little RT currently, more than 70% PBR which I see replacing with RTRT-how do you want it answered? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno exactly. I think current useage. Can you choose a percentage in the poll questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 50-50.. I like it better on exterior shots.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Almost all standard views. I bought my current machine with PBR in mind, but I just can't justify spending the time to get good at it. Most of my clients will not pay for PBR's or RT's so I primarily use standard. That being said, the quality of standard views has certainly improved in recent years as well as the quality of CA materials available (I'm sure because of PBR and RT improvements).

djhplanning Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I use ray trace for mainly exterior views. Chief changed something with the last update and now the interior ray trace doesn't work as well as it used to before the update. I don't use physically based style because of the poor quality image.

Michael_Gia Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Can’t wait for that line drawing over standard view in X13. Looks real crisp and clean. Lets face it, unless your RayTrace or PBR is at the level of fooling people into thinking it’s a photograph, then it’s just going to look cheesy.

basketballman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Used to Ray-Trace all the time ... Now, pretty well never since I started using Lumion and TwinMotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I stopped after PBR was introduced. I'm a very impatient person with electronics. So I never cared for the wait. Lol. I'm excited for the X13. Sounds like I'll be using their new live render feature quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Since CA introduced PBR'ing I never use Ray Trace. Can produce better results in PBR without the wait and the advantage that I can work live within a PBR window. Now that CA has added Ray Tracing to their PBR it will be interesting to see the impact. To be honest though, from the recent webinar on this I was not overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smn842 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Perhaps the pole should be 'how many would ray trace with Chief if it was way faster'? Even though I upgrade PC's regularly and try to get the best balance of overclocked core speed vs number of cores, ray trace has not appealed since we've had PBR. As I use a 3D mouse the rendering on the new PBR + Ray trace on X13 didn't look that good to me as I move a lot in 3D views. I am more interested in the consistent lighting model mentioned and hope that will fix the issues of materials looking so different in standard, pbr and ray trace modes as well as the bleed of colours from backdrops and other areas radically changing the internal views.

Joe_Carrick Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 At a cost of about $700 for a RX 3080 I don't think I'm going to be upgrading to RTRT anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisb222 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 100%. Every plan set. Pretty pictures are not required but neither is a fine meal when a baloney sandwich will sustain life. Maybe it's just me but I don't think this looks cheesy. And I don't think this is possible with PBR and no retouching in other software. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
