It don't matter how fast you think your computer is even if you had a 20 gig machine you could bring it to it's knees with Vue or Mojoworld for that matter. What your trying to do with a computer can't really work well unless it was a true parallel computer. Your trying to paint a picture one photon at a time. It takes forever. You can't be in a hurry. You can speed it up by really carefull planning and grouping. How much? If you do a good job on your scene and plan it well and group it properly you can cut the rendering time into 1/4 or more. You got to try to limit the math the computer has to do in order for that single photon of light exiting the camera to find the light source. If it's got to look at every single element in your scene 8 times or more for every photon it will take forever to render. See a parallel machine could do a whole bunch of photons at once. Like I say forget the damn speed we need multi prossesors! Why are we still building single or even double proccesor machines? We should have a thousands of them under the hood. Even 200 MMX's would blow away a 2 gig machine. The whole way the computer world works is wrong. You got to look at starbridge systems computer it has NO proccessor, none, it's all memory. You put in the data on one side and it comes out the other finnished. the memory self configures itself like a proccessor on the fly and it's really fast like terra bits fast and it's totally parallel. They call it hyper computers and they blow almost everything away. There not that expensive but there not cheap and you right now have to write your own software by the looks of it though the memory operating system is already written. You use another computer to feed it data. Windows 98 belieave it or not ! Till we all have that sitting on our desktop it will be wait and wait cause the computers are the bottle neck right now. Get that puppy o your christmas list !
