PMFJI, but I would _very_ much like to see what kind of base machine you
were using to get these dramatic Raptor rendering times. Were you
_actually_ using a 68040 processor clocked at 25MHz or higher? How much
RAM did you have? Etc?
Frankly, I have _NEVER_ seen _any_ claims to speed improvements like you
are citing. If you were using a 4000/030, I might expect to see an
improvement like that, but any self-respecting 25MHz 040 _should_ run at
about 1/11th the speed of a Raptor. If you would be willing to upload your
scene file (and attendant object/images), I would gladly render it on
several 040 machines of known performance.
Please don't take offense at my questions. I just want to make sure that
DeskStation doesn't end up making claims it could never live up to.
