So far they're not what I was hoping for and certainly not fast. Also (for me) very confusing and difficult to set up. Volume rendering just seems a natural fit to use the GPU on. I haven't tried the new Fury yet so I will at some point.
thats the point, the massiv amount of data used in todays feature films. i think most people underestimates this alot. the tech demos from nvidia are nice, but these are extrem low res without details and small in scale. my advice is to do some tests with fume, what you need to get some nice volumes and you will see how much resources you really need. the idea of using the gpu is right away from the table then.
