Indeed,
I am seriously recoding most of my app to prevent mine turning out like CityEngine, all hope and no delivery.
I really feel I have been sold a dream by Procedural Inc, one that simply wont come true even with $7,000 and a sweet quad core system, not that I have $7k.
Here are the 3 Machines I used to test CityEngine, including a Quad Core.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+
Ram: 2GB Ram
Gcard: ATI X800 Pro
OS: XP Pro SP3
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+
Ram: 2GB Ram
Gcard: Nvidia 7800 GTX
OS: XP Pro SP3
CPU: intel q6600 quad
Ram: 2GB GEIL high latency ddr2800
Gcard: bfg oc2 8800gtx 712mb
OS: vista 32mb ultimate edition
All drivers up to date on all machines..
The quad core gave the most before the Low memory error, but a pitiful attempt at an urban city as you can see.
There all using the provided simpeBuilding.01.cga Rule.
I make you all this promise, I wont release mine with so much problems or lack of usability.
This is such a disappointment to me, I love reading Pascals papers, but the dream I have been sold by watching there flashy video's simply doesn't seem to be available yet, and I am questioning just what they did to make all the flashy video's on there site.
