Hi!
After years of Bryce-addiction and years of 'too little time' ;-), I recently purchased Vue and I'm in awe... :-)
I do have a question if I may... Do you preferable tie (as many...?) systems together to render?
I would like to know to what extend render-time is affected by hardware. For instance, would doubling the amount of RAM shorten the rendering time by half or...? Or is there more complexity to it? (assume there is... ;-)) I would like to know what the best options would be...
My computer (P4 3,4 Ghz, 1024 RAM) already got the hick ups from several quick renders while checking out the eco-systems... ;-)
Although of monsterous proportions, it is a laptop i.e. tabletop ;-), which I don't like to leave on for days in a row. Perhaps I should buy a desktop system especially for rendering or would bundling all forces be better 'timing'?
If you are willing to share some experiences it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks for a possible answer in advance!
Sincerely,
Ine
