  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Autodesk Flame Unleashed.

Obviously anyone familiar with the AD universe will understand the 'cojones' required to manage the hardware and any complications yourself. I would imagine it will save AD a bit coin not having to staff the help desk for hardware issues by putting the burden in the customers lap. Our shop doesn't have a Flame, but we've been onboard with Mac Smoke for a quite awhile now. Smoke/Resolve pretty much covers all that we are required to do for our clients in a reliable manner.

I had 5 years Smoke on Mac running in my little boutique and had every here and then incidents that needed the help of skilled IT technicians especially with Smoke 2009 - 2011 . But then, with Smoke 2015, the application became very stable and changed to a new licence system that was much more forgiving and less prone to lethal licence or library breakdowns.

With bringing the Flame ecosystem to the Mac many of the old issues have a chance to be re-introduced because of the server based licensing system that has advantages in terms of workflows but can be a reason for intense terminal typing when it fails.

Ultimately, Flame will still run best on Linux, especially for Red users who want to work off the native raw files. The reason: only the Linux version with a certified K/M 6000 card will allow fast GPU based debayering. This will/may change in the future but currently Linux is still the way to go if max. performance is a must.

Nonetheless one can get any hardware that runs RedHat and install Flame on own risk. If you want a stable and reliable system you want ADs very good support that again means you have to go the recommended hardware route which is not cheap but good.
