1 Gb of ram

anyone here have a Gb of ram.

the deal is this.

i have been working on the city scene for the exodus for 8 months about.

it has approximatly 5 million polys currently, it has about 30 lamps.

the thing is it will only render on a machine running 1Gb of ram (just as mine has)

it uses about 900Mb of memory currently to render and each frame takes about 30 mins on a 2.4Ghz P4 machine running 1 Gb ddr 333Mhz ram.

thats about 700 hours worth of rendering.

i need others to help me render this scene, you get to see sneek shots of whats perhaps blenders most mentally huge scene ever.

the renders are truly sweet (i am not joking)

if you are interested then PLEASE contact me and i will discuse it with X-Warrior and i will show you an imagen of what you will be rendering.

the only deal is that nobody else sees any of the renders, or the shot i show you.

ARGH damn I wish I could help… Anyhoo, if you have the possibility, why not contact a school near you? A friend of mine made an agreement with the teachers and principal of a local school and got permission to use the school’s 16 P4 512ddr computers to create a render farm for the weekend… Then again, the principal was an old friend of his… :wink:

Ild help, but Im running 450mhz and about 300mb of ram :frowning:

sorry :frowning:

my university is the only option available

they have a set of about 50 G5’s (maybe they are G4’s) running OSX and 1Gb of ram, half of them might be G4’s running 1Gb and the other half mights be G5’s running 1.5Gb i don’t know.

anyway it would be a total ass to set up, i would need to install blender on all of them, and then go and collect all the images off each one (unless they were all rendering into the same folder on the network.)

anyway i might end up trying that.

I think I can help.

<Runs off to sort out Blender on PS2.>

This little PS2 will render in real time, 73.7Million polygons per second. I will get Blender 2.27 (Optimized) running on it properly today, then will report back.

Let me know,

Sonix.

i really wish i could help… but i have a really slow comp :frowning:

(did you hear about that supercomputer made with G5’s? sombody made like the 3rd fastest computer in the world, with like some number of G5’s)

7

I could try and help, my machine is 2.6GHz P4, with 760 ram. But like you sed if it needs 900mb then it would probably be a lost cause.

8

theres always virtual memory :stuck_out_tongue: i had to expand that the other day for a render :o

9

I should be able to help. Currently have 1 gig ddr ram (333 Mhz) with an Athlon XP 2600+ processor.

10

Have dual opteron, gig of PC2700 DDR RAM, will render. I also have a friend with a 2.6 GHz P4 and 2 gigs who might be willing to help.

PM me.

LOL ha ha ha

yes i have 1.5Gb of virtual memory.

thing is virtual memory is what i am really trying to avoid, if someone really wanted to render it for me and use virtual memory i would let them, but they must realise that any HDD failure or complete crash was not my fault, and if rendering each frame took hours its also mot my fault LOL.

i will have my scene safe for 1Gb+ computers, but if you wish you could try with less, although i wouldn’t do it myself LOL

and thanoks Andy83, and meestaplu

ok alltaken sent me a message,

for the moment, Andy83 and meestaplu are “in the team” :smiley:

BUT

SONIX: are you sure about what you are saying? 73millions per sec?? :expressionless:

13

Actually it was PS2s , not G5s .
Pretty impressive … but the amount of consoles it took to build it was retarded …

Great, I’ve got a AMD 2.0 ghz, 1 GBRam, 60 GB free space. I know much about AMD and pentium, and I testes with my uncle which kind of computer renders faster. When we teste the AMD and Pentium, we got this.
AMD is good add processing data, but on rendering it lags.
Pentium is the best way to use for rendering, and it can’t handle data as fast as AMD.

So if you want to render your movie and make an whole video in dvix format, use Pentium. For real thinking work like working with huge file sizes, then use AMD.
I think you can use this information. :smiley:

15

I have 2 GB and dual processor, if you think I can help send me a PM.

16

ok, the selection is now over :wink:

the ones who’ll get the right to render this are:

Andy83
Meestaplu (and his friend)
Titus

no one else from that moment can be accepted…except if they got a render farm of 20computers that are dual 3,2ghz with 2gb of ram :stuck_out_tongue:
