    One of the models I'm working on is now so large, at least when it's loaded up inside the 3D editor, it can no longer be opened on a 32bit OS, I need to be on Vista 64 to open it up. This makes me feel manly indeed, and I can see two new chest hairs have sprouted up as a result. Total polygon count for the beast is over 2 million (I think). Harrr! The HMSS Invincible[^] in drydock, outside of low Mars orbit. Collection of various related shots[^] Considering our complete impotence at running a successful space program, this is probably as close to Mars as I'm going to get.

    Pretty cool. What CAD program did you use to make that?

      No not really. I guess I didn't watch that much TV as a kid, or it didn't make that much of an impression. Star Trek, 6 Million Dollar Man, Charlies Angles, Bionic Woman, Star Blazers, Mork and Mindy, those I remember, Speed Racer, not so much. :)

              Was never a big fan of it always found it too slow to reach the target compared to a "normal" sniper rifle. (Note in reality I'm a decent clay shooter so tend to go for things on the move rather than stationary)...

                We had some very nice Ferrari laptops running Vista 64 many years ago. The only thing special was th carbon fibre lid and Ferrari badge on the mouse! Bit naff, but one of the PMs was in love with them. He borrowed one from our test pool and didnt give it back for ages. What a twat he was.

                By Acer? We've got a LCD TV made by them and I'm surprised Ferrari allow it, my God that thing is slow to respond, you adjust the volume and you have to wait for ~5s for the OSD to disappear and you can't do anything while it's on (that's the most annoying fault).

                  Yep, I actually use Vista 64 all the time now at home. Turned off aero and have it running it Classic mode, and it's not too aggravating!

                          That would be some seriously fun software to work on (and probably to work with). Though somebody should tell them to pre-load their mouse-over images on that page. :rolleyes:

                                Can't you reduce the tessellation tolerance while modeling so it will fit on a 32bit machine?

                                    Houdini works by creating a network of nodes which it then iterates through to generate the geometry. I suspect if I "cooked" the network, and exported it all to something like an OBJ format and then loaded it that in, I'd be fine on a 32 bit OS. I think the problem is in allocating all memory necessary for traversing the network.

                                      That would be some seriously fun software to work on (and probably to work with). Though somebody should tell them to pre-load their mouse-over images on that page. :rolleyes:

                                        By Acer? We've got a LCD TV made by them and I'm surprised Ferrari allow it, my God that thing is slow to respond, you adjust the volume and you have to wait for ~5s for the OSD to disappear and you can't do anything while it's on (that's the most annoying fault).

                                        Yeah, they were the ones. Surely Ferrari must have been in on it though?

                                          You'd have thought as Ferarri were a performance car manufacturer that they'd want performance bits of electronics...
