Oh yeah - handsdown speeding up that software is no problem. As i described - our own 3d engine did do realtime better than the same software disney uses to produce those episodes on a single core. What a 3d engine is doing realtime for an animation of 7 seconds, that takes 30 minutes rendering time with the design software at a single core. That's the same exact same software they used to produce those movies with. Did you calculate the speed difference? 30 * 60 = 1800 1800 / 7 = 250 Roughly factor 250. So it's not so difficult to speedup things factor 250. Yet their marketing department will be 100% opposed against this idea of paying someone to speed this up. They will prefer to argue they have a 40k computer farm and needed air space technology also used to travel to Mars to create this movie. > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin > Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
