Studio tour #2

Posted in Production, Random Fluff by Ton

rt.jpg Since everyone here is too busy (read lame!) to write blog stories, here’s a quick view of the studio as how I found it this sunny afternoon. I used Campbells camera, which had battery power, unlike mine, but unfortunately had no sound and no memory left on the card just when I approached Campbell… the cool trees stuff on his screen is for next time.

Everyone in the studio said “hi” btw! And they all promised to post something here very soon. This week!

    thanks for the fast tour Big Ton.
    I think you need a reporter/publicist there.
    We all get bored waiting for wonderful entertaining speeches and progress reports from dead ball artistes and go away..

    It’s a nice view of the world of animation.
    Thanks Ton for this tour!

    I’m curious about the hardware you use.
    CPU/GPU/RAM/OS ect…

    Computers are about 3ghz, 4gig ram. nvidia 8800 gts,
    Using ubuntu gutsy with gnome except for cessen who uses xfce.

    I develop with gedit & kdevelop and eclipse on my laptop. brecht uses vim (a mans text editor)…

    Documented the setup here

    PS, we have a mix of 2 and 4 cores, some new 8 core PC’s coming, we’ll try to make blender multithread better!

    Do you mostly use PCs or Macs? I saw an apple monitor in the last blog but I’m only seing PCs in the videos. =P

    Hmmm, what’s the difference between “Random Fluff” and “Uncategorized”?

    BTW, it would be helpful if someone could add a .focus() to the captcha’s textfield :)

    You use 64bit or 32bit Ubuntu?

  23. andy Writes:
    October 25th, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    we currently use 64bit

  24. Alexes Writes:
    October 26th, 2007 at 10:08 am

    Thanks. You use home too Linux OS?

  25. Gianmichele Writes:
    October 26th, 2007 at 2:39 pm

    Any particular note on using 64 bit ? is that a choice for the amount of geometry to be rendered ?

  26. campbell barton Writes:
    October 26th, 2007 at 4:46 pm

    We chose 64bit for a few reasons, so we could overcome the 2gig limit per application that 32bit systems have. (each computer has 4gig of ram, some new PC’s will have 8gig I think)

    The other reason is to validate blender3d on 64bit systems, so other people can be sure blender will work well on their high end workstations. – and so we can find any 64bit bugs and fix them.

    Thanks for giving attention to 64bit! As a user of 64bit Kubuntu on an Amd 64 CPU I appreciate this very much.

    Why you use Ubuntu distribution, instead of another?
