In this video, James takes you through the V0.2.8 release which is currently in early access. This release added support for the Optix rendering device in blender's cycles ray tracing engine. Optix makes use of the RT cores in Nvidia RTX series video cards to accelerate parts of the ray tracing render pipeline. Its pretty darn quick too, and so support for it in crowdrender was something we really needed to do.
A quick shout out to @OfficialMwavehttps://www.mwave.com.au for providing us the RTX2070 Super card and a PC to put it in. This was instrumental in helping us develop Optix support. So if you're in Australia and looking to buy some gear for rendering, gaming or whatevs, show them some love :D
Onto of all that, there are a stack of fixes and improvements in this release that make Crowdrender work a whole lot better, including projects that have larger files, and also longer render times. So anyone doing archviz or high poly modelling will be happy to know that Crowdrender can now handle this better.
