Description
i'm a bit reluctant to submit "remix" images of existing works, but here goes anyway.this is rendered with my 4-day-old new renderer; it's a spectral (wavelength-based) renderer that can cleanly handle lots of interesting physics, in this case the light source is a black body emitter (wiki: [link] ) at about 9500K. i look forward to doing much more with this renderer and letting others use it in the future (read: after my #$&*@% exams).

Envy. Thats all I can say...I envy you!

and don't envy me, the life of a programmer is a hard one!

and rewarding I would hope!

another cool render!
Amazing, again...
slowly, I get bored of my comments and the lack of possible crit! xD

thanks 
thanks also for the watch, it's just a few seconds too late to catch my latest release tho

it's still a bit ad hoc, i'll let you know when the final final final one is up
thx dude!

*Aexion is the fractal master, i'm just the rendering consultant
anyways, the image you're rendering will soon replace this one...
btw, i just had the most excellent idea for how to really leverage this program so everyone can use it. will code it up after i've had some sleep!

Hui, sehr schΓΆn! Disregarding the great job on the dof, the clockworkish apparatus is still simply breathtaking. More remixes! (

new one coming soon

I see you're becoming firm with NZ? just guessing 'cause your finally posting nice imagery again (even if it is not your machine that is cooking)
π: 0 β©: 1
yup, getting settled
btw, there are 3 computers rendering right now: *Aexion and i are rendering a poster resolution version (1.5:1 aspect ratio for da prints), and ~feckt is rendering a 1920x1600 version for uploading here. about 16ghz in total, maybe 10ghz on the poster job which will render for maybe a week (!!). since both have completely unbiased (no cap on depth) global illumination, they are taking extremely long...

Whoa, many Hertz's
Ever heard of Beowulf clusters? You might probablly like it!

now with fast internet, i can just cluster together my friends' computers

if not, it means you have a bunch of old and crappy computers, network them together, et voila, your private supercomputer!

oh my... that looks so real, I want to reach out and touch it 
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks
the realism will get kicked up a notch before year's end: real skylight, integration with normal 3d geometry and lights, real materials (glass, metal, clay, ...) etc. too bad i have exams right now

never showed me this one
great great job!

I would like to do this at a higher quality...
and I think I have the farm to do it...
π: 0 β©: 2
i have a much improved version that needs serious firepower... what kind of farm are we talking?

Well I could do it on my new PC (2.8 mhz X2) with 2 gigs of ram...
Or I could take it to one of the labs at the University and try a multi system render

i can email you an exe that will render it, if you can somehow make a big file (thumbsuck: something like 50mb after compression with 7-zip) available on the net afterwards. the reason is that i'll then combine the results with my 2 computers (2.5ghz x2, 2ghz core 2 duo laptop) and two friends' computers (2.4ghz and 2.8ghz core 2 duos), after a few days of rendering
if you were to run it on multiple computers, you'd need to combine those big files into one before sending to me, so i'll have to make a simple combiner program. i need to do this anyway to combine my two computers' results, but i've been putting it off to stare at the test render more

oh cool
you might have to tell me how to do it
my email is gattacaace@yahoo.com
I can probably do it this weekend (on the home box)
And I will ask at the power lab tomorrow

i've actually sent the exe to a friend on da (~vodu2040 ) with a 64bit quadcore machine, which will render it at 3840x2400 just earlier. i would really like to render a print-resolution version, but that will take much memory, probably requiring 64bit. i have 4gb of ddr2 memory already actually, but i can't use it until i upgrade my motherboard+cpu to quadcore whenever the new intel or amd ones come out (using 2gb atmo).

well I have 64 bit with 2 gigs of ram and a 2.8 x2 processor...
I render at 10,000 quality and 1400 x 1000 in about 20 minutes (unless there is an fx or more than 15 triangles)

this is my own program (everything in my gallery is made with my software), i have absolutely no idea how to use apo...

I think this is phenomenal. The realism is stunning.
