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

    It's not a CAD program, I'm using Houdini[^]. A very cool program, especially from a programmers perspective.

        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).

            For once, someone is actually utilizing a 64bit OS. Great images....by the way.

            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!

              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.

                        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. :)

                          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.

                                      Ah that explains it I was wondering why so much memory use, I wouldn't expected to have run into such a high poly count (I'm an ex 3ds Max user, now using Blender, which can rack up some big poly scores in 32 bit at the moment)

                                        For once, someone is actually utilizing a 64bit OS. Great images....by the way.

                                        Actually, we[^] do as well. One of our machines uses up to 64G of RAM as a print data buffer. When you're printing full-color variable data at 17 feet of paper per second, the bits go by fast.

                                          Yeah, it's not the polycount in and of itself. I've loaded up really high polycount models in it on the 32bit side and it's OK. However everything is just a lot nicer and "roomier" on a 64 bit OS, so I don't even bother any more.
