I decided to put my computer out of commision for a while and render a max resolution image. Here are the results. I forgot to take a screenshot of the taskmanager but Bryce probably logged around 230 hours of CPU time. Anybody want to try to top this? Or is you computer a wimp and overheats a few days in. By the way, my computer is a laptop.

What I hate is when you get to Day 11 and the power goes down and destroys it. It could happen.

GEEEEZZZZZ! None of mine ever seem to take any longer than 12 hrs at max rez. no wonder my pics look like hammered **** ;) (sys spec: amd athlon over clocked to 1800, 512 ram, 128 graphics card.)

Rayraz ( ) posted Sun, 13 February 2005 at 3:01 PM

lol, redfeather, rendertimes are not a measurement of quality ;) often times the longest renders will turn out less then perfect 'cause the horrible rendertimes don't allow for much tweaking unless you've got the patience of an angel haha

I would only render something for that long if it was for printing out. Wonder where the final is?? Hope it was worth the down time.

TobinLam, i downloaded a a waterfall bryce file and the girl/woman that put it together said it took 3 weeks to render it on her computer. so i think that tops 12 days ;)

The original 1024x768 was pretty cool but the hi-res version is freaking awesome. I think I'm going to sit down sometime and just explore all the reflections that can't be seen in the original. I plan on making a poster with it.

Never overheated back then? I have never overheated now. That 12 day render was nonstop except for maybe a pause to check something 15% in. Edit: I also ran BOINC so I could find aliens and pulsars and map protein structures at night.

I have a file hat has been rendering for days even with a relative low render settings and resolution. I think I would get a very long time for render if I render settings to max.

Not sure I want to try it out, it just takes so long time.

My pc had overheating probs when the fan started giving probs during mid-summer at room temperatures of 35-40 degrees Celcius lol. Other then that I haven't had probs. Anyways, them old pc's didn't even need processor fans :P lol, now those were the good old days ;)

beats me, but trying to concentrate with 3 grandchildren fight..er, negotiating loudly in the background does tend to shorten one's attention span..;) I just hit 19 hours the other week, but I'm in the 'pdq' school of rendering, for Horn and Hardhart..;)

Here is the desktop-size(1024x768) version I posted back in October. It is pretty dang close to the same file size though it has 1/15 the number of pixels.
