Rendering Time for the Preview Movie?>

[note235]

Anyone know the rendering time for the Earth TG2 preview movie?
Thanks

Which one is that, then?

[Sethren]

Are you thinking of the one that Karsten Keppel and Matt Fairclough had done with version 1.6.02.2?

yes

Only Karsten would probably know the render time and he doesn't really frequent this forum. But it was done a long time ago with a much older version so many things would have changed by now anyway, especially render time.

hmm, could you now achieve better quality ?
thanks

[Oshyan]

Yes. At the time he probably could have achieved better quality with higher render time (that's usually the case), but it would probably be more consistent (as far as displacement, etc.) now. Once the renderer overhaul is complete it would probably be faster too.

Talking of the renderer overhaul is it planned to include garbage collection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science) and code scavenging for memory optimization at some point before final release or at some point there after development and other issues not withstanding, naturally.

Regards to you.

Memory use will be optimized as much as time allows. Discussion of specific techniques is largely irrelevant here.
