Combustion Support Video Card


#1

I used to use after effect and most hardware support it but now I am using combustion 4 and the problem that the video preview is not real time. And also the cashing takes place in the ram, which I don’t want instead it should be done by the video card. So, I need you to recommend a video card that will support this procedure and please try to give me various types especially the ones that support combustion 4.

Best regards

Max,

That is a fundamental way in which Combustion does things. Caching always takes place in ram unless you are using particals in which you can use a opengl card. I use the Quadro XGL 980 card from Nvidia it works pretty good.

If you are looking for realtime playback with combustion without caching you will be upset as it just doesn’t exist. Combusiton must cache before you will see any reasonably complex composite at realtime.

Just like AfterFX and most desktop compositing app.

If you switch to perspective view in the top layer of a composite only (i’m pretty sure) you can right click on the viewport and select “use opengl”. The problem with this is that some of the higher end stuff dosn’t work properly when opengl is used all the time. Its better for quick n’ dirty visualizing, but for final work you will want to do software action.
