Rustic House Rendering

Here, is my latest work done for my new friends over at Lands End Development in, Crosslake, MN. What a nice bunch of people with some serious design skills.

Like most projects, there were some challenges. The challenge here was the house will be built new, but designed to look like it's been there for generations. I custom created the textures for this project, to be aged and weathered. The environment was built to look natural, yet lived in.

This was a great project and the Lands End Development people were great to work with.

Five GPUs and over 20 TFLOPS

Boxx’s new workstation packs five GPUs and over 20 TFLOPS of compute horsepower

The liquid-cooled chassis is designed to support Intel’s Xeon E5 v3 processors with up to 18 cores and 36 threads per chip, but front-and-center billing goes to the GPUs. The Apexx 5 can pack up to five high-end graphics cards, four for workstation rendering and a single dedicated viewport GPU.

For those of you keeping track at home, that works out to over 20 TFLOPS of single-precision floating point and nearly ten TFLOPs of double-precision horsepower. That’s more firepower than the number one supercomputer in the world from the year 2000 and would’ve still captured a place on the TOP500 within the last decade, particularly once you toss in another 2.6TFLOPS from the Xeon CPUs (assuming two E5-2699v3.)

All four cards run in full PCIe 3.0 x16 slots with a fifth PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for the dedicated viewport card. Users also have the option of equipping other co-processors, including a Synch card for frame locking, PCI-Express SSDs, or a 10Gbit ethernet card. Boxx also includes liquid cooling as standard on all its CPUs (GPUs remain air-cooled, but the chassis are designed to keep all five graphics cards at acceptable temperatures, even in such aggressive configurations).

The chassis can support up to eight mechanical hard drives or 16 2.5-inch SSDs. Obviously the market for 4-5 GPUs in a single system is going to be relatively rare — even at the high-end, there aren’t many engineers or designers who need that much GPU horsepower in a single system. Boxx’s product marketing manager, Chris Morley, acknowledges that the product is aimed at a very specific type of customer, but notes that the Apexx 5 is offering a level of performance you literally can’t buy elsewhere, since even the highest-end systems from Dell and HP tend to top out below this point.

The company has been deliberately courting disgruntled Mac users since the Mac Pro debuted last year, and its “Mac Pro No” video is funny enough to be worth a watch. It’s also telling — where Apple built a dual-GPU workstation that emphasized the GPU at the expense of CPU performance and focused the system almost entirely on external connectivity, the Boxx Apexx 5 kicks GPU options up to 11 without skimping on dual CPU horsepower or the internal connectivity that most people expect in a modern high-end workstation.

Custom Kitchen Rendering

Interiors are always fun; challenging, yet fun. I received a request for my services, from a kitchen designer out of Chicago, who needed to do something to keep his client engaged. The kitchen designer had the vision, but his clients could not feel it with the 2D CAD plans that he was providing.

It's always exciting for me to get my client's reaction when they see their vision in full color. Maybe, that's part of what fuels my passion for what I do.

“Holy cow that’s amazing!!”

Arts and Craft Architectural Rendering

The architect design the cutest arts and craft house, but the problem was, the rendering they provided didn't suit the needs of the real estate firm hired to sell it. So, they called upon my services. I am always excited to help and I get excited to work on structures I find visually appealing, like this art and craft house.

Here, the process was a little different than my usual client. This time, the real estate company contacted me directly. This was their first time hiring a service like mine, and I sensed a little fear, but I held their hand and all went well.

Office Building Night Rendering

I absolutely love a client who asks for bold!

Here, is a one story and a two story office building being proposed in a very busy construction market. The designer typically provides illustrations to the developer and since the market is competitive, they wanted to up the ante. Hopefully, with the help of my architectural renderings, their office buildings will be noticed, at least that is the plan.
