Twilight Render User Forum

hello all:

new to the forum and TwilightRender...absolutely fantastic product and great forum threads!
not going to win any awards here
at the time I purchased the computer about a 1 1/2 ago (from Costco), was thinking my primary use would be autocad and some revit here and there...since then, got more and more exposed to SketchUp/et al and am liking it very much...

not quite ready to throw away the computer yet...upgraded the graphics card from the original intel 3100 to an ATI Radeon HD4650 1G card...now OpenGL functions in Photoshop work but haven't noticed that much of a difference...

what would be first upgrade I should consider to improve speed and performance for this setup? CPU? thanks!

much better...thanks for your suggestions!

2.7x speed increase! impressive.

A bit slow, but this is what I deal with for my school machine. It is a laptop, though. Some of you guys have some great machines!

Just built a new machine,

AMD X6 1090T BE
Gigabyte 770TA-UD3 MB
4GB Corsair XMS3
Nvidia Geforce GT220 1024MB
EZcool PS-900 Tornado

Nice machine!
Something seems odd how bright the light is at the base, did you change any settings? (exposure, or lighting)

It sure beats my old comp and was a good price at under £600

I thought it looked a bit bright as well but I rendered straight from opening up the file. I also thought the brass fitting below the glass shade was bright also.

36s / Intel Core i7 2,6GHz, RAM 6GB, Vista 64bit

38S. I want to see the winner!
