..carrying over from the Hex thread: clothingcreations.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=185&page=2---------------------------------------------------------- Okies, I have an Nvidia MCP67M....and Im on a lappy yes..but inside Blender I have managed to find the enumerator that makes my keyboard act like a PC..don't know why that 'devices' feature button wouldn't show up tho.. Im using Blender version 2.61....and after looking at that tut, it appears Andrew is using an older version because I have more buttons/drop downs than he does...{but the manual I think is for 2.61 unless thats still originally 2.5 and they didn't get a chance to change the configuration in the manual}...which means I might have a different place to look for it?

Oh, and after really straining to see what Andrew was clicking in his vid tut {its awful blurry and he goes too quick} I finally found the integrater button and pulled off a render LOL My preview was set at 10 by default and not '0' as Andrew was saying it was so I had a time finding it hehehe Anywayz, I changed my render to 100 samples and got this in a short time. Not great, but wayyyyyy better than Poser LOL Attachments:

u on a mac ?? your settings screen is a lot dif to any windoze one I've seen, tried looking up ur gpu and couldnt find a lot out apart from its built in on hp lappys lol am guessing but if it aint giving you the option of the gpu I dont think it has the cuda cores, attached a pic of one of mine it has 16 cores but the onboard gpu has none(7025) new comps in bits at the mo putting a bigger psu in (700 watts) but its gpu has 336 cores and is the reason it needs a new psu rofl shame but I dont think cycles is gonna be your friend, Attachments:

Nope, not a Mac..an HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC running Windows Vista Home Premium
That's ok...at least my cycles 'work' albeit not as fast as the GPU {I guess since I can't use it to find out LOL}

wow 3 days to move me fish tank an 2 to recover mind u its a big'un over 60 gallons ;D and got me new desk so maybe get some work done lol one thing I never liked about lappys is you cant upgrade them and to get the grunt I have in my desktop I would have to pay well over £1000 think on a lappy running the gpu on a cycles render would get it well hot all my fans go up a notch or two when doin cycles (my gpu has 2 fans on) anyhow time to smile heres some nice tuts I found www.benamend.com/is a good one on (making)texturing a landscape! dont forget if you want the same tex in poser you can bake em from blender

Hmmm Im getting a 404 on those pages....bummer. Have you tried that city generator yet? The free one is pretty nifty, {the windows have emmision textures on them for night time scenes} but can't figure out how to light it up with cycles yet... arnaud.ile.nc/scg/Hope you didn't hurt yourself moving the tank..had a big one myself some time back and ended up getting rid of it because it was just toooo much trouble moving it around and cleaning it..blech
