THE
RANCH/
BENCHMARKS
| Very
high speed rendering for animations
& stills |
 |
The
Sponza.lws
scene (model copyrighted
by Marko Dabrovic) used
in our Global Illumination
animation benchmark can
be downloaded
here. |
| |
|
|
The quickroom68.lws
scene used in our still
image benchmark is also
available on the Lightwave
9 Content CD (Scenes\Lighting\Quick
Room subdirectory).
|
| |
|
|
The RANCH
use highly optimized,
proprietary algorithms
to optimize both animated
and still renders, achieving
a super-high efficiency
per GHz. |
| |
|
|
More
details on these tests
are available in the RANCH
Renderfarm User Guide.
|
| |
|
|
Please
note that efficiency may
vary with the nature of
the scene.
Optimal performance will
be reached in animations:
- where all the frames
have a similar render
time.
- when the number of frames
is close to a multiple
of 125 (number of passes optimized). |

Note:
the total project time includes
the render time, network overhead,
201 frames compression (275
MB of data) and ftp account
creation, but you pay only
for the render time.
The speed difference between
a standard PC and the RANCH
may vary with the nature of
the scene. |

| The
total project time includes
the optimized tiling preprocessing
(~3 mn), the render time
(see above) and the recombining
pass / compression phase
(~ 3 minutes). But you
pay only the render time.
Right-click here and choose
'Save Target as...' to
download the 16K x 12K
JPG image (19 MB) and
see the incredible level
of detail available in
this resolution!
The RANCH also offers
the unique feature of
a statistical analysis
of the rendered scene.
In addition to the final
image, the user gets
back a 1024 pixels wide
- or high if in portrait
mode - picture with
the 'stats_" prefix.
This image shows the
percentage of the total
render time used by
each tile. |
