    started a 8000x3200 px render of World Garden Japan Autumn,  carrara renderestrimating 280 hours.  hard to imagine?

    so if leave it running over the weekend, when i come into work toosday, it'll still be running.

    I've heard of 4K film stills that took over 5 days on a RENDERFARM! surprise Worse things can happen...

    New complaint: I'm looking at a $1700 laptop. surprise

    WTH is wrong with me?!?!? I don't use 1/3 the power of the machine I currently have!!!frown Geesh!!!!

    But OMG this laptop will take 64GB OF RAM!! surprise I could load 3-4 full orchestras of instruments into that! surprise   Of course I don't use traditional orchestras.. erm.. blush

    HELP
    ME

    crying

     

    CORES!  MORE CORES!!

    was lookin at HP desktops with hexacores. was in the near 2k range.  

    LOL, well, considering I don't work in 3D any more, more cores won't do me that much good!  The RAM would be nice, especially if I try moving to real film scoring and need seriously real orchestras.. those things can be 8-12GB for just a string section!!! surprise But if you want to play with the big boys, you need the tools.. le sigh. frown

    ..If I ever win that bloody Megabucks, I can build my dual hyperthreading Octo Core, 128GB RAM, x4 Nvidia Pascal GPU beast.  If my scenes ever exceed 16 GB during the render process, at least I will have 32 CPU cores and a boatload of memory as a backup. No swap mode on that baby.

    I wouldn't want your power or A/C bills!!!! surprise

    ...nice thing, on those cold winter days it would be like having a woodstove in the room. The design also includes some hefty liquid cooling for the CPUS.  The new Pascal GPUs actually draw less power and thus produce less heat than the current generation ones.  They are also a much smaller form factor (about half the length of a 980 TI). The PSU is a 2,000W server model (I like a lot of "overhead").using a rackmount case with 8 cooling fans.

    The really neat thing I'd be able to pretty much render in realtime with a total of 25,600 CUDA cores (6,400 per card) at my disposal.  Never have to worry about working in Iray view mode anymore.

    Hot today, upper 80Fs! surprise

    Cold tomorrow, lows in the mid 40Fs! surprise

    This weather is a mess!!! frown

    Ordered the lap desk, now deciding if I should upgrade my orchestral library or expand my vocal library.. argh.. can only get one item per paycheck.. argh.. indecision

    ...brrrrr, a 45º downward plunge between today and tomorrow morning,  Am showing 92º where you are right now.

    This is why I left the Midwest.

    You can substantially reduce render times by a) gamma correcting the image and therefore using substantially less lights/rays and/or (b) rendering spec/reflect/caustics highlights separately

    This is why I left the Midwest. 

    It does grow tiresome.  Severe storms all last night, rain off and on this morning with the temp supposedly in he low 60s (not all that warm righ now as the cold fron hits).  Not a good time to be zipping around on a scooter, especially since the doc insisted that the cast NOT GET WET.  Which is dim, don't they make boat hulls from fiberglass?  I guess it's because the cast is semi-porous and the water might get in and cause the leg/foot stump under the cast to turn into a putrid mass of pulsating necrotic flesh!!!!!!! devil

    Yeah, I was doing some horror writing last night.. sorry about the graphic details.. blush

  • SerpentSerpent Posts: 4,075

    Bored, bored, boooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddd. indecision

    Reading lots of other peoples code, trying to determine what bits actually do something meaningful and what is Windows or UI specific, basically reverse engineering a working system because all the other engineers are too busy to work on documenting what they wrote, so why not hire a guy that knows nothing abiout the system to figure it all out and document it? Tell him he'll be programming, give him a short assignment writing code, then hit him with a writing project!  Perfect! angry

    Already complained to the placement agency.. I'm going to stop buying stuff and shove every spare penny into savings so I can weather a long-ish job search and find something hopefully "permanent" (not a contract, a direct hire) this time around, and not a bloody stupid "diagrams, spreadsheets, and Word documents" job.

    Hate hate hate. angry

  • SerpentSerpent Posts: 4,075

    I give this job two weeks, if I still get stress headaches from coming into the office at that point, I put my resume' back online and start looking for another job (and turn in my 2 weeks notice). angry

    I'm not willing to put up with a job that stresses me out when there are literally dozens of other opportunities and places I could go. angry

    That;s my Friday complaint, trying to do a job I am totally not tempermentally suited for.  I was born to write code, not make stupid drawings!!!!! angryangry

    I found star wars in my Amazon video library but it is unplayable on my kindle fire.  I hope it is not a mean April's fool joke.
