Well, I was able to run the animation on the XP machine, and it was
surprisingly not that much slower than my current one (not being able to
access both cores with POV 3.5 is probably the reason for that).
It took ca. 11 seconds per frame for a test animation, with the
benchmark taking 2290 seconds (on my machine)...based on the benchmark
time reduced to 70 s on am i7-920 per the benchmark listing site, that
could cut the time needed to make the animation dropping from 2.75 hours
to 5 minutes (in theory). Of course, this is comparing apples to
oranges, as that's a single-core score vs. a multi-core score on the
benchmark...but I should probably learn how to operate POV features like
animation outside of Moray anyhow, and so gain that time advantage.
Have a potential job doing CGI animations for a woodworking shop, and
they use Rhino for modeling with their CAD/CAM device, so have a
licensed version of Brazil to play with (and I wouldn't have to convert
formats or anything, that way). So that might be the way to go...
