Finally broke the 32 bit barrier

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. :)

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.

What is this behemoth you're working on? Is it some kind of personal project or a game that's being developed or is this something for NASA to build in the year 2042? I pieced together a new system last 4th of july weekend: Processor: Intel 17 920 2.66 GHz Ram: Patriot Viper 6GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory kit Video: NVidia GeForce GTX 975 896MB Motherboard: ASUS P6T I'm running xp 64 bit on it. I have yet to find any software that would require me to use the full power of my computer. It's nice for running mulitple VMs though. I don't think I have any software that actually uses more than one of the proc cores except for maybe MS SQL server and even then I'm not sure. It makes me wonder why we even buy up the multi core processors if there's no software (or very little) that takes advantage of them. I show 8 processors in Device Manager. At least it's a cool sight to see from that perspective. :)

It's a personal project, I've been teaching myself 3D for the last year, this is just the latest model. 3D tools tend to use a lot of memory, and renders take even more. If I render a frame, all 8 cores get used, and if it's a very large frame they will get pegged for the whole time. There's *alot* of calculation going on, and all the image data is begin kept as floats, so intead of each pixel being represented by 4 channels, each 8 bits, each color channel is 4 *bytes* (a float), and for a more complex frame, you'll have more than just the red, green, blue, and alpha channels. You'll have additional channels, like z-depth, occlusion, shader values, lighting values, etc. So there's a lot of data getting moved all over the place.

32-bit era - isn't that a history? Nice model. Now think about loading all the textures you will use :) I hope we can see it moving :rolleyes:
