Sometimes i get the feeling you are a bit interested in Starcraft, freespace

well it turnes out i'm not big enough of a fan of starcraft universe

i only bet Aiur coz you seem to love protoss race and it's their homeplanet, plus i can hardly remember any other protoss planet, only Bel' Shir and Shakuras, but i didn't remember Bel' Shir had any Psionic stuff around it, and Shakuras is not a green-blue planet so it came down to Aiur in my knowledge :P

btw really nice pic! love all the details

TekNeek: I don't know what gave you that impression.

tsabszy: Thanks!

Here's a wormhole. What could be coming out of that?

Nope, not Arbiter recall.

Not this time, hehehe.

Fun facts about the simulation:

- it has over 360 million particles in each frame;
- with over 6 million spawned fresh for each frame;
- each frame takes up 680 MB on the harddrive;
- each frame's shadow data takes up 2 GB on the harddrive;
- takes 17 GB of ram to simulate one frame; Thank God for my new PC.

I had to turn off multiscattering cause it would spend about 2,5 hours per frame just calculating it and the difference is very subtle;

what pc do you have?

Freespace-3DT · 09-09-2011, 06:24 PM

I've been using two Quad Cores with 4 GB Ram for the past 2 years, but I got a new I7 2600K with 16 GB Ram recently. It's amazing to not be limited by hardware anymore.

tbh my 1st thought was originally a carrier, but i didn't have any clue

so arbiter seemed to be more logical

how much space does it chew up then? i mean on your hdd

Freespace-3DT · 09-09-2011, 10:58 PM

It's about 100 GB now, but it's growing as new frames are rendered, each with 2 GB of shadow data. The good news is once the shadows are calculated and stored, the render itself takes around 10 seconds. So I'm going through it all now, to cache it all up, then once I've set up the actual camera, the whole sequence will be rendered in 34 minutes.

No camera yet because I'm modeling the main asset for that scene.
