Re: G5 2004-02-08 - By joe_ashear
Back
vilivallaton,
What kind of windows open when you launch Carrara? I've used it on a G4 and
a G5,
and no windows open when I launch it. Are you sure you've quit it between u
ses? As
for funky colors, could it be that you've chosen some Open GL settings that
are not
supported by your video card? I played with Open GL, and my Nvidia card def
initly
didn't like some of the options available via Carrara.
As to the speed, I haven't run Carrara on a PC, but in an informal discussi
on on
Renderosity a few people compared rendering speeds for a variety of compute
rs, and
I tested my Dual 1.8GHz G5. It fared well: it was a bit twice as fast as a
single 1.8 GHz
Athlon when rendering the "Milk" scene that comes with Carrara. My machine
has
more RAM than the PC, but with that simple scene I don't think RAM was an i
ssue.
If you're seeing bad rendering times, I'd guess that RAM is probably the is
sue
(although I don't know how much RAM you have, of course). Once you run out
of RAM
and start using virtual memory, everything will go downhill drastically.
Here's the thread on Renderosity. I think you have to be registered to see
it.
