How Quad Cap Pro for 3ds Max 2009-2020 Can Save You Time and Improve Your Modeling Workflow



Quad Cap Pro is a modifier plugin for 3ds Max that fills borders and ngons with quad polygons unlike the normal cap tool which produces one big ngon.Quad Cap Pro is the successor of the Quad Cap maxscript. It is now faster, has many more features and also it can cap ngons with an uneven number sides producing quads and a single triangle

As an interesting note on performance, using the array of 8x NVMe drives and the pictured NICs and QuickAssist adapters we were able to push around 9GB/s of video streams over an IPsec VPN through the R930 with very low CPU utilization thanks to the QuickAssist cards. In a standard dual Intel Xeon E5 V4 server, there are only 80 x PCIe 3.0 lanes available. In a quad Intel Xeon E7 V4 system there are 128 PCIe lanes which can help when you need a plethora of I/O.


Regarding performance, one can see that we are achieving peak performance at 88 solver cores on the quad Intel Xeon E7. What is notable though is that the Dell PowerEdge R930 is staying very competitive with the overclocked cluster. To achieve this level of performance, the cluster requires 10x 140w TDP CPUs that are then overclocked to use even more power. The cluster also requires 10x Infiniband network controllers, Infiniband switch ports, QSFP DACs, and an entire rack worth of space. Compare this to the Dell PowerEdge R930 which has around 95% of the performance of the whole cluster and at well under half the power and one-tenth of the rack space. When comparing the result to the dual Intel Xeon E5-2697 system we see greater than 2.9x the number of solves per hour with the Dell PowerEdge R930.
