Solo, these look wonderful, both renders and modelling. And 10 minutes -- wow!

I had to do some print pieces earlier this week at 300dpi (in Vray) for a printed promotional brochure. So much for quick render times when you're rendering images that large! I'm very interested to see what Thea's biased engine can produce, both in quality and render time. I can't wait to test some of my pieces out with THEA and compare!

I have to admit, I don't know a thing about Sketchup, but it looks like a very nice program from the work I've seen you post on this forum.

The color bleeding, contrast, saturation, and overal quality of these renders are terrific. Absolutely terrific.

Like everyone else, I'm impressed. Pete, did you render these images at the res you posted them?

Ten minutes is ... :shock:

Yeah!

10 min. thats impossible... He has an i7, but still..

Wait a minute! Have you come up with a way to use GPU rendering in Thea?
Thats the reason so secretsome..

Great modeling!

I take an educated guess and say that for the scenes he is posting
on the forum 2GB RAM would be enough. So don't get scared. ;o))

take care

but i does make a lot of differene in render time... i got a sony viao laptop at home 4gb 2.1 Ghz Duo Core which run a nice image in about 11h... im running the same image on my imac at work now Duo Core 2.8 Ghz 4gb and is running for 3h and is already looking better

Rombout, memory should not make that great difference. Naturally memory speed do have some effect and amount of memory can make a great effect, if you run out of memory and start swapping to HD (will most likelly cause a crash). I'll have to assume, that your laptop has some other settings that effect to performance; like used power saving profile, CPU throttle (if it overheats)... other running processes and naturally used OS. Sorry I don't have mac to compare, but I have a generall impression that when Mac are used for rendering - they perform better than Windows XP or Vista.
