Of course, I asked these questions for a maximum standard, You will be able to
do anything from 1x1 to maxX x maxY say maybe 1600x1200 max for stills and
800x600 for anims... I'll compute the results of this survey for this...  for
example you will be able to do 5x600 stills or 200x600 anims... anything you
want!


BTW, thanks all for these answers, I did not expect that much!  I haven't had
time to note all your answers, but I kept them and will do it whenever i get
some time (maybe tommorrow...)


Thanks, =D
	Simon

>1. Images size

    2048x2048 with AA 0.3

>   b) What is your usual image size for stills?

    512x384 for previews, 800x600 for final versions.

    The biggest I've ever actually rendered is a 4604 frame animation, but
that one was actually just a cut-down version of the full 6561 frame
animation.  Parsing time for the full animation was too long for me to make
the IRTC deadline.  I'd say it was something about the 6561 case()
statements in a five-megabyte include file.


>   d) What is your usual number of frames for your animations? (mine is
1500)

    Quite variable.  For test animations to check things like light
placement for a stills image, usually 50 or 100 frames.  For an actual
animation, between 100 and 1000 frames.

3750x2652 (my be higher in the future when I will have to do large
format visualisations)

I make only educational animations with sizes about 300x300 and 
severa hunderts of frames (288 right now, may be approx. 500
in the future).

> What kind of utility? Will there be a Mac version? :-)

Well, I'm currently on linux, mostly because of the devellopment ease of linux
for C++, but I used to grow with Macintoshs, we have almost every stages of the
mac here at home (MacSE, MacIIci, PowerMac 7600, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4...),
my father is unable for some psychological reasons to sell them! ;)

And for me, I will definately move to a nice dual G4 when MacOX is released and
fully tested and also when I have enough cash!

So portability of my utility is a Big concern!  The beta version will only deal
with linux, but when most of the bugs are out, I'll port it to the mac and might
even do Windows!...
It will include a OpenGL interface (no need of a 3dfx or such) for graphics, of
cpu and render times, etc...  all this antialiased... with buttons and menus... 
but this is the final!!  First it will be in text! hehe ;)

I don't want to spoil the whole surprise, but I'm Very convinced you will all
love it!!  All of you! ;)  Be patient...

Thanks for all the answers!  I'm impressed!

But I forgot to ask this question:

3.  a) What computer do you use for rendering?
    b) Is it connected to the internet? ;)

mine would be:
3a) Celeron 433
 b) Yes, DSL

I would ask you to reply to your own answer with this answer... so I will be
able to put all this toghether...


Thanks a lot!

Hehe, lol...  actually I was about to writh this suff like 2 very big questions,
but then I thought it would be confusing to read the answers, so I separated it
into a-b-c... but didn't take the time to change the header of my mail!

And yes I'm american.. but not Made in USA, I'm from Canada, Quebec and I speak
french... so I'm sure I even made an english mistake somewhere...  Anyway ... =)

What I would need is the computing speed... Mhz...  if it applies ;)

Sometimes?  Depending on you? Depending on the electricity bill?
