Hi there!
I'm sorry if this is not in the correct topic!

I'm currently at college and i'm in a group finnishing up a project  using
PVMPOV on a linux cluster !
We have currently 13 machines in this cluster and we are looking for large
scene files or animated files to test out how quick we can render. We are
currently rendering sample scene files from pov-ray ( "quilt1.pov at 1024 X
768" is completed in under 45 seconds when on the cluster).

could any of you guys help us out with location of large scene files?

thanx in advance!

Mediagames render relatively quick, don't you think? I would prefer some
cool scene, full of radiosity and caustics and all that jazz.

This one takes about 30 hours on my p200 + dual pII/450 cluster under
Linux with PVMPov. And it does not use that much memory.

Please ask by e-mail if you are interested.

Bye and happy POVing.

Try some of the IRTC winners -- they usually take hours to days to render,
especially at high resolutions and when using anti-aliasing.

He there everyone! (and sorry if this is off topic)

    I just want to send out a BIG "thanx" to everyone who help us sugestions
and scenes for our college project.

    As of today we have finnished with it as regards to it being a college
project and we did rather well (If I do say so myself!). We will now
hopefully try and carry it on as a personal project (with periodic updates
on the website) if and when we are able.

We have a website with all the information on how we acheved our project and
hopefully a few test renderings.
HTTP://www.drinksmachine.uklinux.net

Give us a few days to get the final bug in the site worked out but our
project was only finnishes at around 2am (GMT) this morning!!

Have a look and all comments welcomed.
and again many thanx to those who helped us out!!

I had to create a scene file to demonstrate the capabilities of a large
format full color ink-jet printer. This may be the tip for you: Create
some of your pictures at full printer resolution (300 dpi or so). If you
have a good printer the result will be much better than simply enlarging
a 1024 x 768 picture.

I created a poster from a file that came with the first POV-CDROM (POV
V1.0) but I used POV V3.0 for the rendering. The file name"big_e.pov" -
a picture of star trek ship enterprise, using POV primitives. The size
of the poster is 1 meter (3 feet ?) wide. Aspect ratio was 16:9 which
gives very professional results. The resulution was (if I remember
correctly) 6000 x 3375.
It took a Pentium Pro 200Mhz 7 days and a couple of hours to create the
file (which was 80 Mb or so). To my suprise, after converting it to JPG
it was only 2.5 MB.

Later I enhanced the drawing by adding a realistic planet in the
background and adding stars and cosmic nebulae. However I never
recreated the file on that huge scale (because I was assigned to another
project).

If you are interested I can send you the scene-file (and even the
jpg-file).
Just email me.
