Description
Sydney was willing to take the lead on this effort to fill the square. I made up some systems to put in my wish list at DELL. I visited Microsoft to find that all of the versions of VISTA except Starter can be 64 bit. My sweet spot would have been a notebook with a 12 inch screen and a 64 bit processor so I could use 4 Gb in Carrara. The price on just the memory is beyond the replacement value of the desktop and notebook I currently have. So I looked at a midrange desktop and a work station. The workstation has XP Professional and has a VISTA voucher if it is optioned at purchase. I did not have to option much and the hot spots may become more favorable to a purchase of the system of the day later. For me 2Gb of memory is marching in place. 4Gb for just "multiple applications" might have meant something with Poser and Carrara both open and maxed out. But now that world revolves around DAZ Studio and Bryce.

Great work and effects of lighting too....!!!
Awesome artwork...bravo!V:DDD.Hugsxxx
I upgraded my system in 2000 from 256Mb to 512Mb. I've seen memory reports of up to 2.2Gb using swap on that system. That was a lot of noise from being on for weeks 24/7. It would drop to 1.4 or 1.5Gb on a clean boot on the same model setup. This image tool 1014Gb on a notebook with 1Gb of main SDRAMM. At that point the wait to move something or alter point of view is significant but it moves oK once it's going. The big smear of anything you try to do in IE or just going through folders while waiting for a render is liveable. What the world would like is to find my workstation with AUTOCAD drawings of inventions already to patent once the models are made. Something to sell at an estate sale and put up on eBay for auction. Isn't that wind shrill and chilling out there?
Very impressive scene of a futuristic society! And thank you for sharing the render info. Excellent work! 5*****
Great image Dale! pretty sure you don't do requests, but I would love to see your rendition of the Norton Commando. Jay
Well I got Carrara and I started trying it out but I need to do a cleanup of my drive. I only has 1.3 gb left on the drive and I wouldn't want it to get to 0. Awesome image hun!! like how your replicated the character in this lighting and scene!!
Reminds me of the song, "Addicted to Love", this is very good. I like your lighting!!!! I am not sure about Vista yet. There are still to many apps that are only 32 bit, so I purchased my machines, plural form, with XP Pro X64. It is a 32/64 bit OS, the best of both world and I can max my PCs out at 16 GBs of PC2 6400 RAM. I currently have 4GBs each and I still have 89 hour renders GEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent image!
This render took about 12 minutes with a 1.4Ghz Pentium M.
Interesting composition!
Dear Dale, Ah yes - if money were no object the systems we could create!!! Actually, we got a few of those around the office but most of ours are more modest systems. The other 3D systems always amaze me with their ability to create multiple copies like this without actually "creating" them. To render in 12 minutesis pretty impressive!!!! Stunning picture - like a scene from some dark sci-fi epic!!! Very dramatic and very well done!!! Love ya!!! Meredith
Chess anyone.................well done !
I thought at first I was at MeredithWilson's gallery instead. she does renders like this. I bought Vista but waiting for microsoft to send the 64 bit version for $10.00 so it can utilize my 4 gigs of memory and duel processors
Nice work! Ah yes, the RAM desire. If money were no object, I'd buy, like, a 20-gig server machine. Or a whole render farm.
on the march here and they do look like they mean busissin too
