Oh, I didn't realise you were talking about a specific engine.  But I havn't heard anyway.

nope i'm not. That was just one engine and a few freight cars

The Malbone street wreck was worse.

I have respect for the people that died. which were the engineer and the fireman and some pigs. I'm just saying that there were a lot more train wrecks that were worse than that one.

You can flame at me for posting such a minor update if you like.

Pretty much the only thing that is different is the color and the new front bumper, which was a bugger to finally get a design that looked descent.

I may have mentioned this before, too lazy to check, but I entered this model in the California State Fair contest, but was disqualified for 'inadmissable dimensions.'  Someone in my class my a much less detailed car in the same program and ended up getting 3rd.  If I weren't disqualified, I'm almost sure I would have taken 1st.

I started on a new model, can you guess what it is? :P

*looks at the car's cab*

Seems to be too much geometry there.
You mite want to keep an eye out for that because the more geometry a model has the larger the file.

Does your program store Object History ( a history of what you've done to an object), because it can also take up a large portion of a file's size as well.



:bunny Example :bunny

A 1cm x 1cm square file size 50KB







A 1cm x 1cm square file size 61KB

I'd say too little. Going by the wireframing on the front of it, it seems rather stretched and will probably end up looking a bit ugly - or it would if you were using something other than a glassy effect.

Also; 11kb more is very little. I can understand there being more as time goes on, but 11kb is peanuts.

I was only trying to illustrate how unneeded edges add geometry and increase file size, not trying to say the over all model didn't need more geometry only less useless edges.

Well the cockpit is comprised of triangles, not rectangles.  So if I got rid of all the 'useless' geometry, I'd have a bunch of lines, but no material.  But I took into account what Sheridan said about the 'stretched' polygons, and cut some of them on the cockpit and other places in half.

The first thing I rendered...


It looks pretty dull, right?  A bottle of water?  Well that bottle of water took about 5 minutes to render. :P

Not quite.  As far as I'm aware, modern video cards still do not provide hardware support for radiosity, volumetric lighting, photon-mapping and so forth - this is still only available in software renderers.  Even if they did it wouldn't help since the techniques are still being developed.
They're extremely computationally intensive, so we're talking minutes per frame on modern hardware, hours per frame for broadcast quality rendering (and that's on a cluster, I think you'll find).
That 80 DSP-core chip Intel was bragging about the other day should help though :)

What he really needs is to build or rent some time on a rendering farm if he wants it done quick :P
