you folks are baaaaaad LOL.
got a silly question....
has anyone noticed this after sidegrading to pro....
resource usage increases dramatically?
for example... even with a "heavy" scene... with esprit and no modules, my free resources hovered between 50% and 80% (until i rendered, but never dropped below 40%)
now, with all the modules unlocked...
it starts out at 80% free. i load a scene (or work on one) and it drops to 50% within a few minutes. I purge memory, it spikes back to about 65% - and then drops within 15 seconds (without me touching even the mouse) down to about 34%. Purge memory AGAIN - spikes to 55%, down to 34-36%... purge - spike to 45%, down to 32-35%.... it hasnt dropped below that yet, and im rendering with some serious radiosity going on.... it hasnt budged from 34% free resources since i started it about 3 hours ago (the render time just keeps increasing .... YEESH - remind me not to use THAT atmosphere again in an "outdoor" setting) - there's 2 lights, and 100 objects (dont ask me polygon count, cus i cant see it right now and im NOT PAUSING MY RENDER lol)
i know part of the slowness is cus i installed to the wrong folder - i stuck it in the 32 bit side, thinking it was the 64 bit side....(bro never explained the x86 to me... im a moron) but this resource drop is WEIRD. its like.... a hole in a water bottle, and i honestly hope my organic memory doesn't do something similar as i age - oh never mind, it already does that, who am i kidding? LOL
well, i wanted to push my computer....
im doin it LOL =D
Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
