Lightwave for x64 review

    A nice review of what x64 brings to the table:

    "The ringer was when I started to run test renders with the ship. In 32-bit LightWave, a full frame shot was rendering in about 30 minutes, with a full light kit in there. In 64-bit however, the same identical frame flew by at around 7 minutes, give or take a few seconds - this was jaw dropping. For a single Freelance artist like myself, to wait around 30 minutes for a test render twiddling thumbs, as opposed to 7 minutes, just enough time to go get a cup of coffee and move on."

    The "ship" in question is a 3.1million Poly full lit render of Battlestar Pegasus (from Season2 of BSG). The guy created the ships for Stargate (both of them) and Battlestar Gallactica among other things.

    You just made me realise something about BSG that I didn't want to know. :P

    Edit: Nice article though.
