Description
Still installing DAZ content and getting organized. I decided to do a render with Skye at the beach. I actually did this three times. First time was no special lighting: it took 5 min - 43.34 seconds to render. the second one, this one, Spot light where the sun would be Deep Shadow mapped with some shadow softness: 7 min - 36.78 seconds to render; the final image was raytraced with no shadow softness and it took 10 min-58.35 seconds to render.
If I had done this on my old machine, I'd probably would still be rendering, especially with the raytrace.
to say that I'm impressed would be putting it mildly. I'm thinking of reloading some of my older images and seeing how long it would take to render them, especially the ones with a lot of lights.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments AND for putting up with my excitement regarding my new computer.

I was thinking of tagging this for violence, but the ball hasn't hit Skye, yet, even though it appears that she is oblvious to the fact that she is going to get it in the face.
PS I also know about the planes in the sand. these are only test images and not to be considered as finished work more like WIPs

Lovely work on this Mike it looks great.. nice render times too, sounds like one cool machine. I do hope you get good mileage out of the HP we have had nothing but problems dealing with HP and there computers/laptops and have sworn that will never buy another HP product.. and we have had a lot of HP products in the past, computers, 4 laptops, Lost track of how many printers.. But no more lol

I was going to mention that she better pay attention or she's going to get clocked. Nice image. I have a newish HP with Vista myself. No complaints yet.

Boy she has the jedi mind thing nailed. Look how long she is able to keep that volley ball suspended in mid air. And I was already impressed with her being able to just hold the pose. You know I never even saw her blink, not once. And talk about breath control. LOL Looks like the new computer is going to work out just fine!

I thought she was working on a levitation spell. Lol. Silly me. Much better a broken nose. Makes for a more interesting color palette. Doncha' just love a new clean machine? ")
