hi cga'ers

orininally posted in the cinema 4d forum, but i thought why not in the general forum?

it's Maxon's rendering/graphics card bench tester.

why not down load it and pit your computer's whits against the rest?

you dont need cinema 4d to use it, (well im almost sure, so i've been told) just down load it, start it up and press START

you can download it here -

http://www.maxon.net/index_e.html

just one more thing, can you also post up the scene render times in seconds too, only it makes life easier

Hi Strat,

Here's my setup:

Power Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz ("mirrored drive doors")
768 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
OS X 10.2.4

and my results...

C4D shading: 121
OpenGL software shading: 322
OpenGL Hardware shading: 484
OpenGL factor: 4.00

Raytrace (single CPU): 96
Raytrace (dual CPU): 174
dual speedup factor: 1.81

I just got my copy of C4D about 2 weeks ago, and I'm really liking it. Your radiosity tips have helped too. I'll start posting images in the next couple of weeks for some critiques.

Jack

guys, can we also put the rendering scene time in minutes and seconds too? only the values given i dont understand, they're certainly not in seconds.

[edit]
Paul, why not change ur resolution from 1280x1024 over to 1280x960? only this will give you a 1.333 ratio renders come out at.

I'm not sure what the unit is, but higher = better.

Maybe it Gigawatts? "1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!"

As Strat has suggested, this new measurement in Cinebench is a little confusing. I've been using Cinebench for several years on many machines and had developed a very good sense of estimation with it. P3s and P4s were approx Ghz X 10. G3s and G4s were Ghz X 13. The new scale throws everything off. Its a little less than 10 X in raytracing though vs the older versions. This shouldnt be the case since the new engine is 20% fatser. My dual Athlon scores around 36 on the old scale and around 350 on the new scale. Oh well, I guess we just have to get used to the new measurements.

Oh yeah, the UPS guy tried to deliver V8 today so I should have it tomorrow
