A short article covering some of the best computer system configurations for photogrammetry in Metashape.
3ds Max 2021 CPU Roundup: Intel vs AMD
The release of 3ds Max 2021, as well as new CPUs from Intel and AMD, it was time for a new round of hardware testing. This was also a great opportunity to begin building a new benchmark suite to test many of the common actions within 3ds Max such as modeling, simulations and rendering. There has been a lot of changes within 3ds Max as well as with CPUs in the years since our last pass, so let’s see how Max handles now.
Arnold GPU Rendering issues with Studio Driver 442.92
After some research, we’ve noticed significantly longer render times with Arnold’s GPU renderer while on Nvidia’s Studio Driver 442.92
Case Study with Dr. Adam Glaser from the University of Washington
Dr. Glaser works as a researcher in the Molecular Biophotonics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington. He and his team design, fabricate and deploy optical instruments for clinical applications.
Trusted Platform Modules and How To Use Them
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions when paired with Windows Bitlocker.
RealityCapture 1.0.3 HT / SMT Performance Analysis
We’ve observed that some photogrammetry applications seem to perform better with lower core count processors, so we wanted to look at whether Hyperthreading and Simultaneous Multithreading could be negatively impacting performance in these programs. Next up is RealityCapture.
Pix4D 4.5.6 HT / SMT Performance Analysis
We’ve observed that some photogrammetry applications seem to perform better with lower core count processors, so we wanted to look at whether Hyperthreading and Simultaneous Multithreading could be negatively impacting performance in these programs. Next up is Pix4Dmapper.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.2 HT / SMT Performance Analysis
We have observed that some photogrammetry applications seem to perform better with lower core count processors, so we wanted to look at whether Hyperthreading and Simultaneous Multithreading could be negatively impacting performance in these programs – starting with Agisoft Metashape.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 Intel Core 10th Gen CPU Performance
Intel recently updated their mainstream Core processor series, and since we had tested SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 pretty recently we thought it would be good to run these new CPUs through the same testing to see how they compare with other Intel and AMD models.
Hyper-V: Settings and How to Use Them
Another installment of our Hyper-V guides. This article will walk you through each setting available and how to make changes to better control your individual VMs.
