System 2 screenshots

I'm not sure if this is of any interest, but: Specification System 1 Intel i5 2500k (4 core, no HT) GigaByte GA-Z68XP-UD4 1333Mhz 16GB RAM (non-ECC) System 2 Xeon E5-1650v4 (6 core, 12 threads) Asus X99-E WS 2133Mhz 16GB RAM (ECC) Consistencies: 64-bit O/S (Win 7 on System 1, Win 10 on System 2) Ske...

Fantastic information as always Fletch, thank you. I did consider an i7, but I figure (possibly wrongly) that an Xeon setup will give me more reliability for the primary machine, does that sound right or have I been manipulated by advertising!?! The graphics card I've chosen should be beefy enough, ...

Fletch to the rescue :) Thanks for responding, much appreciated. I did think about getting 6/8 cores, but as well as the price going up, the speed goes down - and I'd like the speed for CAD/Sketchup. I'm guessing that an ideal situation is one nippy machine, and having 4 node machines to help with t...

You were quite right though, with enough time, learning and nights in (when I should have been out!), I've got a good understanding of Twilight now. I did plenty of testing which lead me to fix ...

The animation is 50 seconds long @ 24 frames per second (total of 1201 frames), 1920 x 912 pixels (I tried 700 w...

First of all Chris, I'm sorry for my initial post - I've spent a reasonable amount of time on a model, and then spent an obscene amount trying to find workarounds to problems that shouldn't really exist, when it comes to showing non-sketchup users the model! It stems from issues with Sketchup, I wou...

Hi all, I can not believe how disappointed I've become with my recent software usage, and twilight delivers this too. So I have a sketchup model, 37 scenes, a first test worked fine but now twilight is stuck rendering just one scene and will not render any active scene. Restarted program, restarted ...
