Pixar or Foundry WWDC preso?

[Craig Seeman]

I have access to today’s conferences/workshops but I’m not seeing that presentation (I have dev access).

[Jeremy Garchow] “Does anyone know what was presented today? I’d be curious to know what was going on with the new hardware.”

From what I’ve heard, they showed MARI running for the first time on Macs.

Now I know I’ve been all “Dual CPUs are MANDATORY for 3D,” but the new Mac Pro is perfect for texture painting, where the most important thing is getting textures from disk to the graphics card and back. Dual GPUs with tons of VRAM, and flash storage? It’s practically purpose-built for this use case.

Oh, come on.

Apple hates texture painters.

[Joseph W. Bourke] “To view the video (as well as many of the other pre-recorded sessions from the WWDC) you will need to sign up for a free Apple Developer account – you can use your existing iTunes or iCloud ID if you have one to sign up. Once you are signed up, the video will be posted on the WWDC event video page.”

I thought it cost $99 per year to be an IOS or Mac developer.

[Steve Connor] “Wow, the discussions about the new Mac Pro are even more heated on the Luxology forums”

As heated as REDUSER?

[Marcus Moore]

I can only imagine… But there’s been an TB enclosure for a REDROCKET card for a while now. So that’s something you don’t need PCIe for.

Hi Rick –

That’s not what it said on the page that I pasted the information from. Here’s the page:

Just watched it. Mari is pretty uh… crazy. And the Pixar artist and the developer seemed genuinely excited about the hardware. Also, it didn’t crash. 🙂

I can confirm one can sign up for a free Developers account. I actually had done that a few years ago I believe. I have access to the videos.

It seem the Lunchtime videos just went live. They weren’t there last night.
Look for “Painting the Future”
