That's what I like about this news server. You get a better class of
wise asses here than you do on USENET.

You know, you're the first one to call me that since el gefe back in
high-school (while giving me my fourth last warning in four years :)
), but since you were also the first person to ever address me as
"Sir" you are forgiven :)

Sorry, I should have said that it is an animation, that will probably have
over 2000 frames when finished.  It certainly doesn't render that slow right
now, but I'm budgeting about 1-3 minutes per frame when it is finished,
which would put the render time at several nights.

The original timeline for my IRTC "Robots" animation was to spend a thousand
hours rendering the 1008 frame animation.

Then the MegaPOV radiosity speedups came along, and it only took 75 hours to
render using a 400MHz AMD K6-2 and three 450MHz Pentium IIs.

I have found that turning on viewing of bounding boxes in Mac POV (Mega 
and, I think, official) helps a lot. It doesn't show the 3-d bounding 
box, just the 2-d, but it helps for long renders.

I just rendered the good old Fish13 (standard POV-scene file), resolution
1024,768, AA 0.3 on a PIII-600 MHZ, 256 MB-sdram, 20 GB Hard-disk(drive) and
these were the results:

Time for Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 1.0 seconds (1 seconds)
Time for Trace: 0 hours 3 minutes 12.0 seconds (192 seconds)
Total Time:       0 hours, 3 minutes 13.0 seconds (193 seconds)



grtz, Bugs74

On a 650Mhz Athlon with 128MB ram, normal render priority, Netscape
downloading this newsgroup, SETI@Home looking for aliens and a CD
playing in the background I get:

Time for Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 1.0 seconds (1 seconds)
Time for Trace: 0 hours 2 minutes 9.0 seconds (129 seconds)
Total Time:       0 hours, 2 minutes 10.0 seconds (130 seconds)

Drool.

Follow-ups set to p.o-t.
