on any renderer ...

* * *

this image here took me 10 days (240 h !) to finish on a apple G4 400 MHz, ~ 6 years ago ...

lightwave 6, radiosity, caustics on ... (yeah, You don't see them actually)
lit only by one light emitting plane above.
resolution was 800x600 px
[fluid done with hypervoxels]

126h

[deadalvs]

hehe, efficient ...

resolution? hardware ?

520h 28m 31s current sampling level : 25.96

Rendered with beta.

and You're trying to make a new SL record... or why rendering to above SL 20 ?? noise issues ?

[LarsSon]

There were no reason to render this so long.
I just wanted to test how long doest it take to clean
this kind of scene. Too long
I didn't had any hard rendering jobs at the time, so
I let one renderer to work in the bg.

Just for fun

[deadalvs]

ah, i think it looks great. and clean ...

... you guys heard of global warming?

[deadalvs]

hehe, my running computer's not producing any CO2 ...

well, maybe the companies that bring the electric current...

... you guys heard of global warming?

Luckily for us in Canada computers are just another much need space heater for about 9 months of the year.

Great thread guys, keep em coming .
The longest i remember was with Maxwell Beta. About 80h spead across several days using render resume. SL reached was 24+.

I've done quite a few renders that took more than 100 hours and some others that took only 24 hours- but on 14 machines coop, all quadcores.
But wait until Thomas An. finds this thread and dials in his rendertimes for his "dispersion of dispersion" artwork. I believe that'll make our rendertimes appear like realtime.

You guys are crazy atleast with your extreme rendertimes.

Worst case i had was with my old Amiga 500 with 1mb ram and rendering using both Imagine 1.0 and Lightwave 2.0 i think it was back then, one image i remember took 3 full days around the clock to render using Imagine 1.0 and the endresult was a totally black picture as i forgot to turn on the lightsources.

This one took about eight days using Brazil and 3dsMax 5.1 on an old P3 with 1GB RAM. It had to be rendered in 8 sections and spliced together in photoshop. (This was done for competition at Renderosity way back when)
