Quote -  I am on a 6-year-old first-gen MacPro with two dual-core CPUs, or four cores for 4 threads. No other lights but IBL.

I have a MacBook Pro only two years old, but similar. It blows. It is a slow POS. It was also a lot of money - way more than my desktop or any other laptop I have. It blows. And now, after less than two years, the battery is useless. I am now an official hater of Apple.

On top of that, this expensive piece of s*** doesn't have a page up or page down key - just two empty spots on the keyboard where every other laptop has those keys. Sigh.

I just bought another one for my daughter, but I objected strongly.

Quote - The reason I ask, Your Most Illustriousness, is because the 1000x625 render you did had me looking to see if you described it as a Luxrender or a 3dsMax render - I cannot believe you rendered that in Poser!

I will need some time to dig up those files to tell you the settings. But I can pretty much promise it was Poser and it's not hard - with a PC.

I usually render on my I7 860 8 GB RAM (4 cores + hyperthreading) purchased three years ago - before I got the MacBook.

I'm heading to bed and will be out sailing tomorrow, so I hope you're not in a hurry.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
