What was the rendering time on this image, and with what type of processor?? Title: Re: Spiral Mosaic Post by: Ross Hilbert on May 31, 2009, 06:51:51 PM Thanks Paul. This image took 9.81 minutes on my 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM. I need a new machine :-). It is 1,050 x 700 pixels, with 3x3 oversampling for a total of 3,150 x 2,100 sampled points. Lanczos anti-aliasing is applied using a 9x9 kernel. If I turn off oversampling/anti-aliasing and turn on 4x4 solid guessing, it takes 1.05 minutes but of course the image quality is far less.
Ross An update: I upgraded my machine to a 2.67 GHz Intel i7-920 CPU with 6 GB RAM running Windows Vista SP2! Here are the new statistics. 1,050 x 700 pixels, with 3x3 oversampling for a total of 3,150 x 2,100 sampled points: 2.44 minutes 1,050 x 700 pixels, with 2x2 oversampling for a total of 2,100 x 1,400 sampled points: 1.10 minutes 1,050 x 700 pixels, with no oversampling and 4x4 solid guessing on: 16 seconds Ross Title: Re: Spiral Mosaic Post by: twinbee on June 02, 2009, 02:52:48 AM I really like this, and the textured look. What would make it look super stunning, is shadowey areas under each 'curl' so as clearly imply a layered effect. |
