[Bob Woodhead] “So in Smoke, I’m wondering if the “depth and finesse” would tend to slow down the “quick n’ dirty eye candy” type of work, mostly relating to using 3rd party plugs in FCP/Motion/AE (often with many presets), where on Smoke, it’s Genarts and….? “

Autodesk has been adding presets to Smoke for a little while, and is still playing catchup to AE. For Sparks, its Genarts, Re:vision, Imagica and Sapphire. I might be missing something, but I can remember anymore… After Effects has a huge user base, and available plug ins.
If you want quick and easy canned effects, Smoke probable isn’t for you. If you want something that has a great deal of depth, with great compositing and color correction built in, then Smoke is a better choice.
I know alot of people say they will just color correct in Resolve, but I find when you are doing compositing, you need a good corrector available when doing the composite.

I have to fly back early (8AM) Wednesday morning, so I wouldn’t be able to make it if it is on Wednesday.

[Bill Davis] “Anyone here know Vegas well enough to know if there’s a good place where could score space for a small group before the show that doesn’t require a dedicated cab ride?
“

I usually stay at the MGM which has a convient monorail stop, but I don’t know a good spot off the top of my head.

I’d be interested in coming by, if you guys will allow a Flame guy to attend.

If you are running a Smoke, a 4 core Imac is woefully underpowered.

I agree David. Running Smoke on an Imac would seriously handcuff the app.
My z800 is already feeling slow ( I know it isnt…), probably because I am used to how fast it renders. I’m going to start my begging now, so I can get a z820 for my system as soon as they are available. (and Autodesk approves them!)

That would be a nice upgrade for my Flame…. 8 cores and 16 GB ram seem so small now…

Actually FW800 is 400 Megabyte/sec or 3200Mbit/s.

LTO5 is not faster then FW800.
