I don't know how the sandbags are modeled but it would be nice to have a single sandbag model so that the sandbags bunkers could be changed a little, or add a stray sandbag here and there so they aren't so clean and blocky. But other than that, it looks good to me!

Thanks for the info John. I'm going to pick up one of those mechs right now and try them out! For the longest time I had been looking for some sci-fi mechs but the only ones I could find were Bryce models (here at renderosity marketplace). Now we have the John Malis mechs and your excellent models. I'm going to go ahead and get yours because like I said, I don't want copyright coming back to bite me in the behind, which is a true possibility with John's mechs based on Mech Warrior, as I understand copyright law. The readme in John's mechs says they can be used commercially but like I said, I'm not going to risk it, especially after what happened at Daz with those other models. Not that I'm going to make a commercial render but you never know. Thanks for making such cool models! I love your sci-fi stuff!

Hey John, These models look great! I love sci fi stuff and the models you make are top notch. Maybe this goes in another section but I'm wondering...and this kinda relates to the blackhawk/DAZ blackhawk copyright discussion... Recently Jon Malis poserized someone's mech models for freebies over at RDNA. The models are awesome but I think I read the original models were based off the Mech Warrior games. I'm wondering if these models (Malis Mechs) can be used in renders commercially (or even non-commercial), as there is a copyright on them I assume (I think Microsoft bought the Mech Warrior series and we all know how agressive MS can be about copyright). The readme from the Jon Malis Mechs says they can be used however you want but after the fiasco over the Daz military models, I'm not really comfortable using them, especially as they are free and maybe considered "fan art." Are your mechs based off Mech Warrior or will we be in the clear using them, just like your Blackhawk model? I've seen some star wars models on your site so I was just wondering about that.
Thread: Sixus1 Expansion Products | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
Hmmm...not sure why no one has responded, but I'd DEFINATELY be interested. Previews would be good though...some of the recent animations packs have been lackluster...though for $8-10 I'd buy it anyway. Please consider submitting it...

Well I emailed him about this months ago and never got an answer. I wouldn't hold your breath.
Thread: Benchmarking renders (from "confused) | Forum: Vue
It isn't just the 875 chipset. I reported that my P4 3.0 prescott had an 875 chipset but actually it has the 865G chipset. So I think it is just the P4 chip.
Thread: A benchmark for Vue 4 Pro with some results | Forum: Vue
It is on disc 2 of the pro set. Not sure if it is compatible with regular vue because I only have pro...
Thread: A benchmark for Vue 4 Pro with some results | Forum: Vue
That is the problem with benchmarks...everyone wants to do their own scene... ;) Watergate -1024 x 611 Final Render Settings (72 dpi) -Vue 4 Professional build 270996 on 3.0 ghz Pentium 4 prescott processor 1 gb RAM, Hyperthreading Enabled, Windows XP Professional -24 minutes 48 seconds The P4 is in a Shuttle SB6IG2 cube computer with an eVGA Gforce 5700 ultra AGP video card.
Thread: Coming Soon: Ninja | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
Please, please! Take your time! As long as I have him sometime this weekend... ;) Looking over your site again I still don't understand how you guys put out so much quality work so fast. Now I have to download Adam and see how well he works with M2/M3 animations because I have quite a few martial arts poses/animations (and some good katas from poser style) but I never had an appropriate character. This guy is perfect!
Thread: Coming Soon: Ninja | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
Nice! I've been looking for a good ninja suit ever since pjaj pulled his modern ninja suit from the renderosity store just as I was going to buy it...this is more like what I was looking for though. I'll definately get it when it's released.
Thread: Confused | Forum: Vue
forester, thanks for the scene. It opens and renders great in Vue Pro. I'm just unsure what settings should be used to render though. The previous benchmark used render:preview, render:final (at 800x450) and render:final to disk. Should we try render:final quality and render:broadcast at 1600x1200? Seems a little high to me but it is rendering fairly fast on my AMD XP 2100+ (says it will take 20-30 mins). Lets get a final spec before starting a new thread. Maybe to keep things simple, we should just say, render to screen, 1600x1200 at final quality? Any thoughts anyone? BTW Dale B, with my P4 prescott I'm using Corsair RAM and it seems fine to me. I have 2x512 sticks, and haven't had a problem with it yet. But my machine also uses the Intel 875 chipset...
Thread: Confused | Forum: Vue
Hey forester it would be great if you can post that scene they were using. Don't forget to include texture maps if the scene needs them. My only concern is that scene won't be compatible with Vue Pro and/or will render slower than a scene built natively with Vue Pro. Guess we'll have to test it to find out... It would also be interesting to see how the same scene renders in Vue and Vue Pro...

Here's that thread I was looking for...they've already tested a lot of systems but it is a little out of date. Still, the fastest P4 tested was a 3.06 ghz and there are dual AMD 2600+ systems in there. Obviously the dual AMD 2600+ wins by a large margin but there are two processors in that box so that is expected.I based my P4 buying decision on the following:
Bench Score/processor clock or speed rating. Using this method, the AMD XP processors (the 2600+ models) get a score of .401 bench units per speed unit. The P4 got .463 bench units per speed unit. So my reasoning was the P4 could do more work in Vue per speed rating. So I figured, with a P4 ghz rating matched with an AMD speed rating, the P4 would do more work. The fastest AMD XP is 3200+ so I figured a P4 at 3.0 ghz would get just as good if not better scores, and they were priced about the same.
What I forgot to take into account is that a dual processor system gets less than 2x the performace of a single processor. So in theory, a single AMD processor would get a much higher bench unit per speed unit score than the dual system divided by 2. That is where I messed up. Oh well. I'm going to render that scene they tested on that thread and see what speeds I get, then I'll post that here. EDIT: Scratch that, I don't have the scene they're using on my Vue Pro CD's and they're using Vue regular anyway, not pro, so I don't know if my benchmarks would help.

Thread: Confused | Forum: Vue
You're right of course. I was just trying to point out that none of us really know what is going on here. I don't think any of us here are software/hardware engineers, and even if we were, none of us worked on either the P4 processor or Vue software, so we don't know what is causing the problem, and we probably never can. All we can hope is to figure out what cpu works well with Vue. So far, I'd have to say my P4 prescott 3.0 ghz sucks...or more specifically that it sucks rendering vue scenes.
I only pointed out the cache issue because your information is incorrect and I don't think that misinformation about the cache will help us figure out what is going on here. I have an AMD XP 2400+ and it has 256 k cache. The 2600+ to 3200+ models have 512. I know this because I was evaluating all these factors when I was trying to figure out exactly what system to buy for the best vue rendering. I probably spent 3-4 hours going over this and in the end, I still made a poor decision it looks like. So yeah, I'm pissed at e-on/vue, intel and also at myself. Well maybe not pissed. In the end, the machine renders well and vue runs fine on it. So what can I complain about. I only spent $700 on the machine anyway...so even if it is slower than I expected it isn't too bad.
On the other hand, I love vue. It really isn't crappy software. But is has a ton of bugs, many more than I've EVER dealt with using any commercial software in my entire life, 10 yrs + using computers professionally. It is extremely frustrating dealing with all vue's bugs (I've probably notified vue tech support of 10+ very serious bugs and they fix some, let others slide...). I guess you could say I love to hate Vue Pro. Venting on the forums is the only way to let the frustration with Vue out...their tech support just says "we'll look into it." Most of the time nothing ever becomes of it.
I think the other poster was right...we should set up some benchmarks or something. But then there are a lot of weird factors that can influence render times...motherboard, memory speed, etc. In the end, maybe it is too much work for too little gain. I think the real moral of this thread should be...don't buy a P4 prescott if you want some kick-@$$ render times! Stick with AMD Athlon XPs! ;) EDIT: please post here if you want to do benchmarks and we can start a new thread, but if no one is interested, maybe we should forget it.
