If you’re into computer hardware, you’ve probably heard of the chip shortages that have been plaguing the computer industry and driving up the prices of some hardware. For digital artists, having the right tools is crucial, if not extremely valuable in terms of quality of life improvements. This is especially true for Daz Studio users and artists who want to make the best out of features, like the Iray Render Engine, and would prefer to not run their computer for hours just to make a single render. In this article, we’ve created a list of things about our recommended computer hardware that gonna help build your powerful workstation and why iRender might become an effective solution for Daz Studio users and Iray Render Engine to speed up the rendering process and bring incredible rendering results.
Houdini Rendering Workflow Tips
Houdini includes a number of capabilities, procedures, and best practices that enable a production pipeline to quickly work with and render massive, complicated scenes. Sharing Alembic geometry, for example, can allow various steps in the pipeline to run in parallel. Working interactively with proxy geometry in Houdini and replacing the geometry at render time using a geometry shader such as the Delayed Load Procedural or point instancing was the most efficient rendering approach prior to Houdini 13. Support for packed primitives and deep integration of the Alembic file format were included in Houdini 13.

Learning about Volumetric Scattering and Fog with Redshift in Cinema 4D
Volumetric Scattering and Fog are important parts of the Volume topic series in the Redshift render engine. In today’s post, iRender will go into detail about Volumetric Scattering and Fog and its settings in C4D Redshift.
Fix pink textures in Blender with iRender Cloud Rendering
Sometimes we need to open old Blend files and if the textures are not packed and we moved the textures from their original location, we may find out that our scene will display in pink when we try to render it. Pink surfaces means that Blender could not find the texture file. In most cases, you can go to file -> external data -> find missing files and browse for the location to retrieve them. Blender will search the folder you select and its subfolders to find the missing textures by file name. In this article, we will find the cause of the pink Blender file and how to fix it.
Troubleshooting Octane Network Rendering Issues with iRender
Network rendering is the process of having multiple networked machines collaborate on the same project, with the sole purpose of bringing the processing time down. Moreover, network rendering lets you utilize additional GPUs in other machines to render images. Similarly, OctaneRender can distribute render scenes over Primary node and Render nodes connected through a local area network.

Hardware recommendations for Adobe Premiere Pro with iRender
You’ll want to be able to render and encode your project without Premiere Pro slowing down, running out of memory, or taking forever for a seemingly simple clip. Especially when video editing is something you do on a daily basis and your income depends on efficient work, having a PC that doesn’t hold you back is an absolute necessity. Here are the Computer Hardware components that affect Premiere Pro’s performance the most
Overview of mPath renderer for Modo
Modo is a 3D modeling and animation software that includes powerful and flexible sculpting, texturing, lighting, and rendering toolsets. Modo is used by artists around the world to create assets and shots for various industries including animation, VFX, games, architecture and design. mPath is a ground-up redesign of the Modo renderer, with dramatic reduction in controls, versatile hybrid compute capabilities, and granular refinement features. It offers many improvements over the Default renderer, including GPU acceleration for Ray Tracing when NVIDIA OptiX is selected as the Ray Tracing Engine.
