Dear members We are happy to announce brand new Youtube channel with focus on C4D node system. In our research we realized that training content for nodes is very sparse and lacking in quality and depth. We already have two lessons available which will be part of ongoing series. Humble request from our side is that, even if you are not into nodes, please subscribe in order that the channel grows which will enable us to monetize it down the road. On longer timeline this can enable us to reduce the subscription period or even remove it alltogether and open up forum for many more artists. https://www.youtube.com/@CORE4D Thank you and enjoy the content! P.S. Any member willing to contribute to the channel is more than welcome - drop us a message : )

Dear members We are starting the process of upgrading the forum software including security fixes, new spam defense services, database cleanup and overall experience improvements. This will require some down time so if you are unable to access the website in following 12 hours do not be alarmed. thanks for understanding!

OK for anyone else who might be wondering I contacted Maxon Support. It seems that when rendering several frames a lot of the computing is initially done on the CPU and then sent to the GPU to render. So in my case the actual rendering of the frame on my PC using the GPUs was lightening fast. But because it had to do all the computing then that's what made it seem to be the same speed as my Mac mini. It wouldn't always be the case depending on the complexity of the scene. I was starting to wonder that Apple's Metal was getting A LOT better… Also when using Team Render you get several CPU nodes but not GPU nodes so any rendering on Team Render with my Mac would be done on the CPU which is pretty impressive speed wise anyway for a little computer.
