Arnold 6 experiences so far?

[Anonymous]

I mainly use Arnold with Houdini (I'm on 18 now). I'm excited for Karma GPU, but I'm not sure when that's coming. So I'm thinking that I might use Arnold 6 GPU in Houdini rather than Redshift. Arnold CPU has been my favorite renderer in quality, and I'm hoping that with GPU it will be just as good. When I tried the beta last year, there were tons of issues.

- Is Arnold 6 solid at this point?

- Are there any important limitations (other than VRAM) in Arnold 6 vs. CPU in Maya or Houdini 18?

- Any experience on using multiple GPUs (e.g. 4 x 2080 Ti, particularly with Optix)?

Thanks Lee! I'll look through those. I think I read them a while back. I was curious to know what people's person experience has been - beyond the docs. Is it work out well for you?
