#3D CHALLENGE!
Ok, I'm in, but I'll raise the anty… One of the SGI dead heads
around here has offered to render the scene on his workstation,
during lunch. I have seen how it renders and it would be interesting
to see how it works out. Some of the scenes they have reproduced from
3d studio files have render in 1/60th the time.
In addition, I can setup a 486 50 mhz with 3d studio, and a 33mhz 040
Amiga. Of course there will be some advantages to each of the
platforms that should be taken into account. The 486 50 has only got
32 megs of ram, the 040 Amiga has 72 megs of ram, and the SGI has
some ungodly amount of ram in it…
Also, how will we handicap the 3d studio images in regards to ray
tracing ? Oooppssss…. I can't use lightwave in this test but can
use Imagine 2.0 ….
