Hello,
A question for the ASGVIS professionals:
The Context:
My main modeling/render setup computer at work is changing early part of next week. Essentially, I'm going from a Core 2 Duo Laptop (32bit winXP, Rhino SR7 Vray v.1.05.29 , both stand alone licences) to a new Core i7 Quad Laptop (64bit winXP).
My Question: ???
If I uninstall Vray from my 32bit machine (whilst still connected to the net) and install it on my new 64bit OS on the new Laptop (connected to the net) . . . am I likely to experience any issues? ???
If so, what? . . . and how would you suggest I get around it?
Summary: ;D
I'm really pleased to be finally getting the horsepower I've been asking for for 3 years! At last!
Naturally, I'm excited at the prospect of my new workstation, Core i7 means big bonus for me in my workflow! Its a Laptop, quadcore, this gets more interesting when each of the individual cores that make up the Quad in i7 are Hyper-Threaded. . . which means!? . . . 8 cores!. . . in Vray. . . 8 buckets!?
. . . (yet to find out if this is actually true, I presume so!?)
Looking at 8, :-* yes 8 'CPU Usage History' windows today, was a sight to behold! (Pointed this out to the IT guys, who were equally amused!)
8gig of DDR3 to ice the cake. . . I can now have the entire adobe creative suite open, copy and past whatever I like whilst rendering! Jackpot!
. . . All this in a laptop!
haha
Finally. After 3 years of suffering and paying my dues on a 32bit OS (I could do a high-res rendering and have Outlook and Windows Task Manager open. . . not a lot else!. . . and if textures were being used I'd be watching the Page File useage intently!)
I'm so glad this will be a thing of the past! :
Bye bye, 32bit :-* Don't let the door hit your a*se on the way out!
Thanks in advance!
From: A much happier,
Stu
