Artist's Comments: !div style="display:none"!fjrigjwwe9r2gallery:imagedesc!/div!!div style="display:none"!edf40wrjww2gallery:imagedesc!/div!I just bought a new computer - Core Duo 6600 with 4meg onboard cache, and 2 meg DDr2 RAM. I also upgraded to Windows Vista to help take advantage of the nowfound processing power.
First step was to redo this old scene of mine with full blown caustics and soft shadows at a nice size (1600 pixels wide). My old machine just couldnt handle this, but this new box did it in just under 3 hours.
48 million photons.
Resized down to 1200 pixels in Ulead PhotoImpact 10.
Just finished the Cornell Benchmark in under an hour, as well.
