The last time tried to do the rocker on a stock amiga, rendering time was like 15 hours. Your time for rocker falls into my prediction for floating point acceleration. My upgrade of Sculpt3d claimed 300% improvement over the previous package. Looks like your improvement for the versions you have. Settings for rendering make a big difference in rendering times. I guess I'll have to try again, although I don't like tying my Amiga up to do this. Anybody else tried rendering rocker? This is really strange. > Bob Flocchini > University of California , Davis > flocchini @ deneb.ucdavis.edu -- Work: Computer Consoles Inc.
