Realtime! is here
-
Whoah!!!, got to see to believe.
Realtime like it's never been seen before is now available. http://www.studiogpu.com/
Oh, price: $4.999.00
But it looks so friggin cool.

Wow!!
I am still drooling.
Can this really be true?
I looked for the NASA type computer specs needed to run this software.
But no, they claim simple off the shelf (top of the range) systems will suffice!!
Pete, did you just come across this software or is it something you have been aware of for some time?Yes, the price is beyond most of us mere mortals, but if this technology becomes more mainstream then rendering as we have known it is redundant.
If, the claims made here are true, then this statement on their site is true.

How does real-time 3D workflow change the cinematic language of CG production?
When the vocabulary of the process changes, the language of the image changes. A good comparison would be a reflection on how non-linear editing changed the cinematic language of filmmaking or how a product like PhotoShop redefined design and photography. MachStudio Pro redefines the 3D creation processes thereby creating a new language. Since lighting, materials and camera properties such as HDR and Depth of Field (DOF) are designed to be changed in relation to each other, a new visual language emerges in a single intuitive flow. We believe this will democratize the production process so that the winners are the artists with the best ideas and not just the ones with the most money or technical know-how.
I know what I want for Xmas!!

Very Cool,
Worth noting that the software ships with a 2GB ATI Card!!!
So the software really only about $3,000.00
Best,

hm... anyone got tree Minis? I got a plan how we can fund this...

Technology is pretty cool, but the results are a little on the cartoony side. I would imaging there are some sacrifices in light bounces to acheive such fast results, hence the "toony" appearance. Still it's pretty exciting to think about where programs like Vray will be in a few years.
-
In few years all will be like that and even more
-
No Mac version, no worth
Anyway in a few years...
I will render like this:

An exporter for models from SketchUp Pro has been one of the most frequently requested tools for MachStudio Pro. The free exporter is now avaialble making it easy to export 3D assets from SketchUp Pro 7 into MachStudio native GXB formats. These models can then be imported into MachStudio Pro where an artist can create and manipulate lights, materials, and HDR cameras in a real-time, non-linear workflow environment to achieve film quality results.
The SketchUp Pro 7 exporter plug-in can be downloaded for free at
http://studiogpu.com/downloads/MachStudio Pro harnesses multi-threaded GPU computing to change the equation of time vs. quality. Frames that normally take 20 to 40 minutes each to render can be rendered in seconds at comparable quality. Processes which normally would be separated into specialized tasks in production, or off-loaded to render farms, are instead possible in a concise, creative workflow.
