What I learned today....

So I checked the tape on the bottom of the CPU's there was a little extra on both that was getting caught on the side of the CPU... clipped that off... cleaned, reapplied AS5, temps dropped about 10'C... then through interwebs research I learned that most all temp reading apps cannot accurately read 45nm chip temps... as they are set for 65nm chips... there is a TJmax setting...the max operating temp for a given CPU... and if its not correct your temps will be wrong soooooo I found out the the TJmax for 45nm chips is 85 so I changed that in Realtemp, the supposed best temp reading app ....and now they CPU's are at 42'C idle and 59'C full load...

So it seems the CPU issue is out of the way and like maybe the 8800gt just SUX at openGL... My old PC scores a 2010 CInebench OpenGL score and this one scores a 3600... so it is an improvement..just not as much as I had imagined :( I wanted like over 5000!

Oh yeh I loaded Vista but I don't like it...prob go back to Xp64

  2. Excellent! Glad you worked that out so cleverly. Totally forgot you were using 45nm cpu's. Make sense to adjust RT to TJMax specs for that size cpu. I wonder if the bios flash helped out as well. Nice geekage, Mdot!

    It may be that the 8800GT is really a gamer card. This article at TomsHardware talks about Workstation graphics cards that are used specifically for openGL apps.

    And I think you'll be much happier with XP than Vista. Too many of my friends have all reverted to XP. Something's not quite right under the Vista hood.

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

TLDR- Scroll down to THE THIEVERY My name is Mike- I make films under the name "M dot Strange" and I have done so for the past 10+ years- this is my story as a filmmaker culminating in a recent event wherein a "filmmaker" tried to take credit for my life's work Here's my imdb page with my film credits  My web site Here's a reel with stuff from my original films in which I wrote/created/designed/animated etc everything that you see- I can and have performed all aspects of animated film production on my films- thats sort of how I made a name for myself- by being a one man animated film studio Here's a presentation from 2014 with me discussing the production of my last film My first animated feature film "We Are The Strange" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 Sundance archives link Article about the film Link to the film Film's site Because of the buzz that film generated I was given offers to sell the
