Faster Renderer!!

(1/3) > >>

DressedForSucess:


Anim8or version97 needs a much faster rendering engine i believe ...
also there are currently errors with the Art Tracer which is annoying ...

Claude:
0.97 Preview is a beta version,released to be tested by users
to find bugs allowing Steve to make the necessary corrections.
The Art renderer is in development now.

I suggest you read the introduction text on the v0.97 page
of the site (link on the left) and if you can't deal with a beta
version,you should revert back to a stable version 0.95 or
even 0.96.
 

DressedForSucess:
cant wait to render quality subdivided models with soft shadows with a faster renderer to be quite honest.

obviously, a faster memory and graphics card, etc, would benefit me as well.

cant wait to see the final version 97:)

RudySchneider:
As has been mentioned MANY times in the past, your graphics card has absolutely nothing to due with render computations.  Image processing for games and such, yes, but actual rendering is all done in the CPU.  In fact, I don't know of ANY commercial 3D graphics programs (free or not) that make use of the GPU for rendering, yet.  There's been a lot of talk and experimentation, and perhaps it'll come eventually, but for now you gotta have a fast CPU (along with simple meshes and shading) to bring render times down.  Of course, it helps to have a program that takes full advantage of multi-core processors, too, and I'm not certain Anim8or does just yet.

floyd86:
I'm running a 2,4ghz quad core right now and the render is still pretty slow. I heard that anim8or only supports one core. Is there a way to use the other cores as well, or do i just have to wait until a new version that does.
