I thought I would share this which I rendered on my new (secondhand) 4 x CPU, 120 thread Server.
Using TC2020 Plat 64bit Build 19.6 + RedSDK Plugin + My PREMSC Material Calculator.
No post-processing. I just use the RedSDK's Tone Mapper controls within TurboCAD.
It took about 2 hours (Would have taken 48 hours approx on my Laptop workstation) but I have used Render Style setting way above the highest quality Redway3D suggest in their docs.
I bought it for £1250.00 to speed up my visual work and I thought the onboard GPU would run RedSDK. It didn't do bought a secondhand Nvidia Quadro K620 2 GB DDR3 PNY GPU for £29.99.
