Did a quick comparison test. Obviously my new PC is faster than my old imac....but just for giggles, here is the difference in Thea Render. I can't use my old Mac GPU for Thea rendering, can't be bothered finding out why, it's incompatible. Mac render time CPU: 140 seconds PC render time CPU: 23 seconds (7 times quicker) PC render time GPU: 14 seconds (10 times quicker) PC render time CPU + GPU : 10 seconds (14 times quicker) @Kristoff and Stefan: Temperature maxed out at 74 Degrees Celsius when rendering a longer scene. Thermal Status: OK

Intriguing idea but way beyond what I use a PC for.

Very cool, um, expensive. Now we just need windows with a view.

Very original greetting card! And sure alas or not beginners or not we have all a dead line!

Pretty cool . .but I'm holding out for Marvel vs. Downton Abbey.

Hahahaha, he has got a lazy eye too. It would be fun if search: lazy eye + mkultra

That building ... Ewww.

Nice, Eric. Not quite Hollywood quality, but pretty impressive for a museum video. It's scary to think it'll happen all over again to Napoli one of these days. My dad was there when it blew up again in 1944, having landed at Anzio 2 months earlier. He helped with the bulldozing of channels to divert the lava flows. We tend to forget it's not just history. http://ffaasstt.swide.com/wp-content/uploads/vesuvius-1944/mount-vesuvius-volcano-pictures-last-eruption-1944-11.jpg

@unknownuser said: how far out there are you roland? By some standards not very.....start Google Earth and go to Coldwater, Ontario. Just the edge of the wilderness. If you wanted to get a look at where we live you have to fly over. There is no view from a public road.

Very interesting return time for investment, I cannot see how that would work in a domestic setup but certainly of a size where this could be possible.

optical illusion, good work! [image: TrL7_optic.gif]

Maybe because they really want to promote the rendering engines (as this is such a big market for sketchup), but very few of them are actually on the extension warehouse?

@andybot said: I wanna see the outtakes Yeah I'd say there would have been some carnage!

@findthong said: Procedural and grammar based designs: Voxel Farm - Procedural Architecture Elements Trimble has bought Voxel Farm license. Are we going to see it being used inside SketchUp? I know that SU2015 64bit has cooled down all rebels... [image: zRbP_VoxelFarmClients.png]

What is faster than light? To the bathroom, sometimes you don't have the time to turn on the light. You don't have the time to think anyway.

Indeed a great loss... I remember him very well for this song, which many girls have danced to at some VIP Clubs... Here's a video, where he performed it live last year... http://youtu.be/Vn5D5_0iYy0

Joyeux Noël Pilou Le meilleur troll que j'aie jamais connu.

@daniel said: However, it doesn't say an "additional" 30% off. True, Daniel... Nevertheless I still feel it's misleading... I already got a 40% discount, why would they subsequently send an offer with a lower discount - an offer which is inferior to the original - unless it indirectly indicates that there is an additional discount...? @krisidious said: it says 30% off your order... if your order was to be a certain amount, which most people watch closely.... Why would you not think it was going to be 30% off that order amount? especially for a non-tangible product like software, that is never out of stock? My point exactly... @gareth said: Frederik, I think you should get Jeff Hammond to do the negotiating for you. By now, you'd have got it for free and probably a free coffee to go with it...!! Why didn't I think of it...??

Thank you. I have a lot to be grateful for this Christmas season. He's already being scouted by the 49ers
