LW11 test - Instancesssssss :) By LEWIS

#1

REPOST:

Here is one Lw11 instancing, radiosity, flocking, etc. etc. test i did recently .

Some scene stats:

  • Loaded geometry 3.25 mil polys - 2 different trees, 4 type of cars (subDs levle1 for faster OGL), doves, houses, rocks, terrain, boats, yacht…)
  • Single tree is 700k polys instanced 300k times over terrain (yes 300k) so RENDER polycount would be 700 000 * 300 000 = 210 000 000 000 Polys (So 210 Billions?)
  • Car Hummer SubDs level 3 = 1.15 Million polys instanced 275 times = 316 Million polys
  • Car Corvette C6 SubDs level 3 = 1.7 Million polys instanced 275 times = 467 Million polys
  • Car Camaro SubDs level 3 = 850k polys instanced 275 times = 233 Million polys
  • Car Maserati 3200GT SubDs level 3 = 302k polys instanced 275 times = 83 million polys
  • Rocks, 480 poly instanced 5000 times = 2,4 Million polys
  • terrain - 100k polys subdivided
  • other small stuff…

So in total at RENDER tIme there is about 212 Billion of polygons rendering IF i calculated right my zeros . Rendertimes are 30-75 minutes per frame on i7/i5 machines, Took me 17 days to render on 2*i7+one i5 (specs in signature) over LWSN, Scene uses 15GB of RAM for renderign over LWSN, Radiosity 2 bounces baked (11 hours) on fastest machine, 720p resolution, AA4/AS16, Tolerance = 0.01, OS = 0.4 - it’s not quite there as i would like but i had to decrease it to be able to render “soon” since i don’t have renderfarm so i cant allow myself 2h/frame rendertimes and this was TEST project so i had to free up machines for clients work and render only in between and over weekends .

I hope you like it .

P.S. compression on youtbe killed clarity a bit but that’s the way it is so watch 720p if you can.

No I do not like it, I love it :bowdown:

Render in 17 days…! :banghead:

Very good job Roberto :applause:

I was not me…

Just a repost.

:slight_smile:

Looks pretty good.

Now I just wonder how long the same type of render would take in the latest version of Vue.

Great instancing test.

#6

Thanks guys and thanks Roberto for repost :).

It was fun project and i liked instancing and flocking very much, it was easy to setup and gave little more extra detail :).

#7

Very, very impressive!

Newtek should put that on their Lightwave front page.

Thanks man, if they want it they can have it, they just need to ask :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
