Lightwave benchmark for users with PPC, 060, PiStorm, Vampire accelerators

[A1-X1000]

Q over at Hold and Modify on YouTube just posted a Lightwave Raytrace Scene benchmark and I absolutely love this type of stuff so if you're interested please follow the link below to follow the simple steps to run the benchmark and post your results & system specs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4fJ2kDNJj4

For those that don't want to watch the whole vid here's the quick setup:

1- File-Load Scene-Benchmarks folder-choose Raytrace scene
2- Camera Panel- set to low resolution- set to square pixels
3- click Render or hit F9

Q's system results:

For others that want to play, here are the benchmark settings used (low res).

For me, I've never installed Lightwave before and am not entirely sure where to even start. But that's something I'd like to figure out later this year. Finally! I'm still on the hunt for an OG package of the final version of C4D - been looking for years.

@ intric8

this is where you should start with some awesome tutorials to try out and friendly amigans

OMG!! Lightwave! This brings back memories... my very first steps into the amazing world of 3D CGI and more.

I can't get the render screen to play nice to render the scene via LW but using Shell via ScreamerNet to render as per walkero over at amigans instructions:

AmigaONE X1000, PPC, OS4.1FE- 17m10s

BUT this is not comparing apple to apples though as per the steps from post 1but still cool to try.

To do so make sure your using v5, open Shell and type:

xx:xx/Lwsn.fp -3 scenes/benchmark/Raytrace.lws 0 0 (x is location of your Lightwave folder)

Right, so on my Laptop with WinUAE I get 1 minute 8 seconds. It is an emulated 060 with JIT.
My Raspberry Pi 400 with Amikit got 3 minutes and 9 seconds.
