That is down 10% from your last rating, what caused the 10% drop?
Time.
As indicated in those early threads, those figures were based upon a short-term evaluation. One must always allow for the caveat of additional/extended experience. There's no telling what an extra couple of months or so might turn up along the way.
At that point -- immediately after installing SR1 -- there was a certain heavily ray-traced scene in particular that I was finally able to successfully render with SR1. Thus, flushed with triumph and completely covered in glory -- I was in the ecstasy of newly discovered wonders.
However, additional work since then has revealed that all was not as it seemed right out of the gate.
Hey -- sometimes the runner stumbles.
83% ain't bad. It's just not as good as 93.27%.
As I indicated earlier, I give P6 an overall 87% rating. The 83% rating was specifically for SR1: and not for P6 as a whole.
So -- if we take 83%, 87%, 93.27% -- and given that the earth isn't flat -- and that an ant can chew through a dill pickle in approx. 5.3 hours -- and that the average human spends around 42% (or so) of his lifetime sleeping.......how long will it take a man in a car travelling at a variable speed of 45mph to 37.58mph to reach Andromeda? Assuming that the man weighs 157 lbs, and is 5'-9" tall?
What conclusion do we reach from all of this?
Whenever anyone figures it out, please get back with me. Inquiring minds want to know.
I am at least 83.15% satisfied.
