Dell Precision 690

4gig
Quadrofx 4500
hugs pc:love:
Plus my old beast is next to it on a kvm so I can render, switch, and work
no excuses…
My scene, when all is turned on for rendering has almost 2mill polys and maxes out my 4gig, I think that is why MR was hanging on the hair and fur render… more ram soon

:banghead: smaks head on the monitor
hey why dont you try rendering the fur on a separate pass?.. that might let you render everything and porbobly save u a lot of render time…

hmmm… could try passes… deadline is tight tho and I don’t wanna put anything hazrdous into the mix… Great suggestion Z! but I think I should just chug ahead as planned for now…
My pc can handle it, I render mostly while I sleep or teach;)

I like that you did a power-up to red-black-white atmosphere, with the small colour details and skin colour inside! And the level of realism… frightening!

What you are doing is very clever stuff. It’s looking fantastic. I like the fact that the hair looks like a cheap poorly-shaped wig too - you know what you are doing and you are doing it well. Good luck taking this through to the final, mate

melkao… Thanks mate, I agree about the hair, it’s meant to look badbut not that bad… I’m refining it slightly to better suit
npantic… frightening! thanks, I take that as a great compliment… this is by far my most advanced work since switching to max last year
gpepper… Damn… sounds like a Barry Manilow song mate:D
mdavid… 
Thanks Mark, I’ve got next week off for the home stretch so I am really hoping to pull out all stops and nail the last few scenes… your comments really give me a boost:beer:
I did a full res test and it took 7 hours to render for the still image (3600x3000) so there’s a good nights sleep… I’ll try and finalise some posing and post a prev of my aim for the final shot before I head to work today…
Thanks for all of the amazing support:bowdown::wavey:

HHhhehh:) OMG that’s a hair!! Ups, hope you can handle it with that reactor you call PC :bounce: Congrats on the fatty face’s makeup and shading. Impressive. Reminds me a parrot’s colour palette. Fits perfectly with the figure. Funny and clean work!
Push my friend. Deadline’s here. 
KEEP IT UP :bounce:
