![]() As most ZBrush and Keyshot work uses less than 64GB RAM, a 2990WX-equipped a-X Mediaworkstation is our fastest PC for ZBrush and Keyshot for the price. Without the model Keyshot uses 0.5Gb so the model makes up for about 3Gb. The imported model is reported having 89Mil triangles. ![]() When transfer completes the memory usage of Keyshot is around 3,5Gb. under 64GB, performance is little impacted. In the start of transfer Keyshot uses 6Gb RAM and a while into setup it jumps up to 13GB. ![]() How does this impact ZBrush and Keyshot? Fortunately for RAM light work, i.e. It’s a primary difference between Threadripper 1 and 2 (TR1 & TR2) CPUs, and AMD EPYC OR Intel Core and Xeon CPUs which have direct memory access on all cores. The ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge is free for all ZBrush users. As such, we provide all installation and activation support for this product. AskZBrush - 'How do you turn on the ZBrush to Keyshot Bridge inside of ZBrush'Ask your questions through Twitter with the hashtag AskZBrush. When all the cores are requesting access, this can cause congestion. The ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge is a Pixologic product developed in coordination with Luxion. ![]() Important point re the new AMD TR2 CPU architecture: 50% of CPU cores have direct to system RAM, 50% require an extra step across the connected core to memory, which adds latency. Upgrading the above Intel configuration to the top dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 2.5 GHz solution (56 total cores) will provide you with a roughly 70% performance increase over the 2990WX equipped a-X with ZBrush and Keyshot, but this privilege will set you back $31,060.00 – that’s $23,439.00 more – enough for four a-X Mediaworkstation nodes for you and your team. Yes, you will get about 15% faster rendering with the Intel Scalable Xeon solution, and about 10% faster single threaded performance (for Adobe CC apps, or modeling/mograph needs in Cinema 4D for example), but at just over twice the cost. ![]()
