How Many Susans Can Your Computer Do?
-
i m afraid to orbitand mine is Brice
-
good heavens...
now... make them all work on SketchUp...
-
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.

200,000 Susans...
shoot for 1 million tomorrow.

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

Edges: 463 000 000
Faces: 22 000 000
Triangles: 629 000 000Good 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.
-
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.

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.
-
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..
-
YES!!! ONE MILLION!
I cheated a little
I used guide points instead of Susans. and I kinda grouped them together as well. -
-
Way back when I first started with SU I did a comparison of groups to components on SU speed, response and file size.
Keep in mind, there is only ONE Susan component definition in SU, but the graphics processor (either hardware or software) is doing ALL the work here. The graphic engine calls up the components definition and reconstructs it for each instance it is displayed. Only a components definition pointer is retained for each instance in memory or file.
So what you are really measuring is how good the graphics portion of your computer is, not so much the computational portion, or even memory.
Now a group is fully defined in memory and file for EACH and EVERY instance in the model. Both the computation AND graphics engines are working here, more computational, less graphical.
Try your million Susans again, but first explode Susan's comp and group her. I'll bet you won't get anywhere near as many, but the pan speed may actually improve a bit.
