Has anybody used a Raspberry Pi with Bryce7Pro?

I wondered how it does with it?

I'm thinking - Render Farm?

Probably won't happen right now with these version of Pi's.

Rasberry Pi's runs on a Fedora Linux OS and/but cannot run the "Wine" program, which would be required to run Bryce at all (I believe).  :o(

Oh... that's a shame. So you couldn't have Bryce on another PC and run that as a master with the Raspberry Pi as the slave doing the work, then?

Is that because you'd still need to put Bryce Lightning on the Rasp Pi?

Yup, exactly. ;o(

But, given time, you will be able to do it. One thing I have always noticed...there is always SOMEBODY that wants to make Windows a OS boot up on EVERYTHING. Somebody will make it happen at some point, lol.

I can't wait.

Could you still use it to render from C4D though?

Rhubarb Pie does it for me.

@ Bryster: Gooseberry's better!

I haven't had goosegog crumble for years.

Hi Fran, from the reading and watching the video, it seems a little slow to be used as part of a render farm at least at this point in time. Unless you're thinking of daisey chaining a few of them together and then going off on holiday somewhere while the little raspberries churn out a render. I do remember programing with the Sinclair back in the day. Interesting possibilities.

Ian made a ZX81 - he says nothing is as slow as that was.  Even with his home made 16k ram pack.

But yes, we were thinking daisy chaining, not sure about the holiday though.

Another thing that might kill the idea is the Pi has an ARM processor, whereas most apps like Bryce are x86 executables.

I gave my ZX81 with all its associated kit to Goodwill ages ago.  I should have kept it for Antiques Roadshow.

Bit late to the thread, but yea Raspbery Pi will make for a good Media Center type of PC.  Which is what I Plan to use it for.

I've been playing with Pentium 3 and Pentium 4's for render farms you can look up my posts here.

And 6 older computers couldnt keep up with a single Core i7 Processor... I dont know if that comes down to inefficient network rendering in Bryce or a Core i7 is that good.

My latest test will be using a AMD Quad Core Processor + 3 or 4  Core 2 Duo PC's as nodes and see how that renders.
