[Rich O Brien]

SU splats with shadows, thanks Pete

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...

[Aerilius]

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:

200,000 Susans...

shoot for 1 million tomorrow.

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

Edges: 463 000 000
Faces: 22 000 000
Triangles: 629 000 000

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).

i think it's just a matter of how long you're willing to wait.. going from 100,000 to 600,000 took around 40 minutes.

[Krisidious]

nice Jeff... how many did you select at the largest copy?

100,000 was the most selected at once.

@tourniquetmaster said:

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

nah, you can do more than that.. those 600,000 susans are on a mbp also..

[Builder Boy]

YES!!! ONE MILLION!

I cheated a little I used guide points instead of Susans. and I kinda grouped them together as well.

You can download a million here.
