Interesting scene and great use of SP! Perhasp some day, SP do have fluid dynamics and you can made that fan to blow leaves and swing those chains.

If you are using .nk data file, It's good to remember that .nk file contains measured data of material. It will automatically load ior, dispersion, absorbtion and so. No need to worry of those values. KT lets you change some of those values, but if you load .nk file again, those that cannot be chang...

Duah. I just now noticed that you can change the Gamma and Exposure after running a rendering, before saving. :doh: Haha... As a long time Kerkythea user (however not a rendering guru) I did know that (or rather did it almost instinctively as it works the same in Kerky9 ;) Actually in KT it's best ...

I guess RAID works better with identical drives, right? Do you think it would be better for me to use a RAID arrangement for the system, or for the data? It's best to use indentical drives. Where to use RAID, is up to your needs (and keep in mind there are several different RAID types, some simply ...

You simply need more drives. One + one for raid 0 (system and programs) and one larger for data. And obviously one external for backups. If you are looking a fast HD, then WD VelociRaptor is one good option, but with same cost you should get a SSD (naturally much smaller, but enough for system and p...

Basically to get a greater improvement in disk speed, there are two options, RAID 0 or SSD. I got 5.6 with a old Samsung Spinpoint P120 (SP2504C). Lucky I have another one of those too, so when I install retail version of Win 7, I'll made a RAID 0 drive. I'll report back of this, when I am done (no ...

For me a general experience with Windows 7 is better when comparing to XP; All those nice UI enhancements, Windows Media Center, file browser and search. I have not done speed comparisons (still running with RC and even that wont loose to XP). Also I have understood that with i7/5 Turbo Boost should...

BitLocker is great for business/government laptops and portable storages... There are alternative tools that can give near same functionality, like truecrypt . Switch languages is useful if computers are shared with people from different languages and they want to use it with they own language; in p...

It's hard to justify a $1500 videocard for SU use. I am fairly happy with a first generation 8800GTS. 3DS Max uses a speacial DirectX acceleration with QuadroFX (With a little tricks that same acceleration is available in some consumer cards), I would consider QuadroFX only if I where sure that I wi...

Video card does not effect to rendering with Twilight (but some rendering programs do have a GPU acceleration). In SU video card has an effect, as SU uses OpenGL for acceleration. Dual video card would be waste of money.
