How Many Susans Can Your Computer Do?

tourniquetmaster

Here are the rules:
-The only component allowed is Susan, no grouping.

Make a row of 10 Susans, 1 meter apart.
Make a grid of 10 rows, 1 meter apart.
Make a cube of 10 grids, 1 meter apart.
Make a row 10 cubes, 15 meters apart.
Make a grid of 10 rows. etc.

I think you get the idea. Do it till you can do no more and lets see who can make the most.

Post your result number!

My result was 10,000 Susans (on a MacBook pro). Can you do better?

Nice idea

Up to 20,000 but SU is now taking ages to go to 40,000!

Was still able to orbit....

Got 40,000 but things are slow to respond

And then put shadows ON.

TIG

And add some heavy textures to her clothes

Here is just over 50 thousand, still can rotate without much slow down.
On i7.

SU splats with shadows, thanks Pete

i m afraid to orbit

and mine is Brice

good heavens...

now... make them all work on SketchUp...

solo

I tried to double it to 100 thousand and got a shutdown, not even a splat, SU just ceased working...

Once I had 300 000 000 components (not Susan). With only 1GB ram - and SketchUp layers.

I guess girls have more curves, edges in this case:-)

Just wait (long). Often SketchUp looks like not responding but in fact it is still working: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d661c13436861c968d1fe8cdc415f4c5
(you would need to download it. 3D warehouse neither managed to process the correct preview image nor a collada file nor the swivel view)

I got to 100,000. While Sketchup still "works" I wouldn't say that its really "working"

I can orbit, but there is about a second delay when I do.

A more detailed comparison - taking into account the amount of triangles in each model:

That would be:
Edges: 92 600 000
Faces: 38 000 00
Triangles: 97 400 000

Good luck with that!

100,000
pretty slow... to even snag a screen pic.
dell m6400. not exactly a high horsepower machine.

i did explode the original and made a new component with 'face camera' off.

bmike

orbited slowly @ 100,000.
almost made a 100k selection.
and then 'sketchup has stopped working'.

!!

no 200k for me.

No need to explode for that. You can change the component properties from the Component Browser.

thanks... never use that feature (face camera).
