Indigo Renderer Forum

hi i make a coop test with 2 pc
1)master p4 ht 3ghz 1gb ram
2)slave celeron 705mhz 128mb ram

here is the results:

(master only)
Time elapsed: 5m, 18s
Done 19003000.000000 mutations (39.589583 mutations per pixel)
mutations_per_sec: 59644.905333

(master & slave)
Time elapsed: 5m, 20s
Done 22260500.000000 mutations (46.376042 mutations per pixel)
mutations_per_sec: 69386.489220

here is the reference images for compare...

[master only]


[master& slave]

Heee seems you got hold of the exporter .. great ...

but for the comparison ... the second PC with only 700MHz does not seem
to make a big difference here..

cheers

yes the secont pc is slow but eventhis the diference between 2 images are great...imagine 4 p4 3ghz run ono project....

when we have an indigo update nicholas?
when we have an exporter update u3dreal?

??? what do you miss in the exporter right now... ???

i can't think of anything to update now

cheers

u3dreal

yes your exporter is great at this moment...i think we have wait for an indigo update first to add any new features to exporter...nick?u r on invacations now? Lets burn some keyboards while u code...

How many computers can be use by indigo? Unlimited?

hhmmm good question....anyone with large renderfarm?

Heya wzn,

I guess it depends on the power of the machine that you'll use to
run the manager on ... 'cause it has to combine the whole data. ;o)


take care
psor

So any idea how well Indigo scales with more computers ?
Like would 1 machine that takes 12 hours to render a frame,
would 12 machines render it in 1 hour ?

cheers

It all depends on the power of each machine. My main comp can render a given scene at 40k muts/sec while my older comp can render at 15k muts/sec. Add them by network and you get 55k muts/sec. But it also depends on your scene. One scene i made was rendered at 23 000 muts/sec on my main comp but only 300 muts/sec on my other comp

Youll need to experiment to see what speed boosts you can get

Thanks Maluminas,
If I every get some free time, it will be spent playing with Indigo.
It looks brilliant.
