Usual size, between 800*600 and 1024*768 as final, though most semi-finished
are at 640*480, with tests at 320*240

Sorry don't animate.

A 4000 by 4000 image for a height_field. I don't think I ever actually 
used it though...


>    b) What is your usual image size for stills? (mine is 1280x1024)

I like 480*360, for desktop images I use 1024*768(the resolution of both 
my monitors), I will render at a higher(about double) resolution for 
printing, but haven't had a need to print anything yet.


> 2. Animations

Well, I haven't done many animations, and the ones I did were just 
experiments...


>    a) What is the largest image size you've ever done? (mine was 800x600)

640*480, but just a fast-rendering scene with only a couple frames.


>    b) What is your usual image size for animations? (mine is 512x384)

320*240.

Probably 300-500.

50-100.

Dunno. 640 x 480 probably.

Don't do much animation, but 360 x 240 is probably most common.

Around 12 minutes at 15 FPS - you work it out.

I really don't do them often enough to give a meaningful average.

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

    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.

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).

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

Rendering engines are a p200 and a dual pII/400@448, running Linux. The
smaller has a modem.

Ha ha, well, it means I'm continuously connected so long as I am dialed in via
the 56K modem.  Otherwise it's disconnected, far as I'm concerned, even though
the cable is still linked in.  One-way cable modem access, for those who don't
know, is simply a download route.  Uploads go through regular dial-up modems.
I figure that's half and half.  :-)

Well, the text version should be pretty easy to port to OS X, just 
porting from a Unix-like system to a BSD Unix system...(this from

Well, I'm very pleased with linux! More than with Windows in any way and more
than with macintosh...

I mean... I do lots of hard stuff for the computer and the last time it crashed
was when I killed an OpenGL program that was "unprotecting memory" for
acceleration...  And I think the computer was not crashed, but only the video
card, which is much like a general crash...

I love linux, and the only reason why I'm going to MacOS X is that I'll be able
to use my current prefered application for editing povray, sending mail and
news, etc s'called Emacs!

> Well, the text version should be pretty easy to port to OS X, just

No, not really, I'll be using some linux commands such as system() that
shouldn't work on MacOS <X...  but the final version should be almost perfectly
OpenPlatform! =D

I'm participating in the OS X public beta, and I have to say that it's
only about 80% ready for the public.  On the other hand, at its current
state, if you can tolerate the rough edges, it does indeed rock.

ObPOV:
When running POV-Ray in the classic layer under OS X public beta, I've
found that it's wisest not to have any other classic aps running at the
same time -- often, odd interactions in the shared memory space of the
classic layer will cause not just the classic layer, but the entire OS
to hang when you try a complex render.

IIRC 5000x5000, for use as a height_field (on the userdisk for those who remember
it :-)
For a final image, 1600x1600 (Escher gallery)

800x600, sometimes 1152x864 (my screen res)

I agree about the "80% ready" part. At least, if by "public" you mean 
final release, for a public beta it is pretty good as far as stability 
and performance.
The interface seems a bit undeveloped, but I expect that to change 
quickly with the additional releases, since they appear to be starting 
from the basic interface ideas and building onto that instead of having 
the melting pot of different and inconsistent interface features like 
Mac OS 9 and earlier.

I haven't had the OS hang yet...but POV-Ray is the only thing I run 
under Classic. :-)
I've been trying to compile POV-Ray with Project Builder, but haven't 
had much success yet. I *did* get all the files to compile, so I am 
making some progress...maybe I can eventually get a simple Cocoa 
interface for MegaPOV. Whether it would be functional enough for anyone 
to want to use it is another question...

But most Linux distros come with emacs, I use it all the time for POV,
Perl, editing Makefiles etc.  I find it a bit too bulky to use for news
or mail, so for them I use Pico, (which I'm hopefully going to patch to 
use SHIF Arrow marking).  But emacs with syntax hilighting for pov is 
one essential I waouldn't be without now that I've used it.   You can 
get povmode.el for emax at: 

http://www.acc.umu.se/~woormie/povray/ 

I use this in conjunction with an Rxvt utility of my own 
called PovMenu, available here:

http://www.zeropps.uklinux.net/linstuff.html

And there's even a screenshot now aswell.

There isn't really a "usual size" for me. Most images I render are test
images and therefore rather small (e.g., 640x480). Final images often
don't have the 4x3 format and the size depends on whether they are
intended for a web page (at most 700 pixels wide) or full screen (must
fit into 1600x1200 right now :-).

>2. Animations

Haven't done any serious animations yet, so I'll skip these questions.
