The render quality isn't due to the laptop performance if it's rendered in unbiased (bucket) way. In this case, If the laptop performance isn't enough, it will simply not render at all. Only if it gets rendered in biased or progressive way that the performance may interfere. What software are u using as a renderer?
I am using Octane gpu render . it's biased one if I am right. Video Ram is the main limiter. A scene should be loaded in video memory. It could work with RAM too but getting super slow and unstable. My 6 gb video memory is hardly enough for what I render.Form what I read in Octane forum people do use e-gpu with mac books.…
@Yerus "Unbiased and bucket are exact synonyms" Not sure where to go from here. Agree to disagree? Else you'd have to help me understand where you're coming from. How do you define bucket? Are you using a specific rendering software? Something from Blender? Yes, render speed is due to performance, but you initially…
Redshift (on maya), which is biased as i have just figured out. The laptop performances will have a impact on the rendering then, but how exactly? Octane is unbiased. Redshift can also use RAM for renders. I plan to get an 8gb card and i have no idea what limitations comes with it. What kind of scene can you render with…
I'm not sure what Yerus is referring to, to be honest. Unbiased is not a synonym of bucket and also not necessarily of quality. Maybe he thinks about a specific application that offers both. Also render quality isn't due to performance in biased mode, either. 8 GB should be enough for most smaller scenes and if you are…
