What are the specs of your main modeling workstation on your site?

Hello..

Intel Quadcore Q9550 running at 3.6GHz, 8GB of ram, Nvidia 8800GT (G92 core) overclocked. Gigabyte EP35-DS4 motherboard (Stable with good cooling on, so it doesn't crap out when turning up the juice) Coolermaster Realpower 620m power supply.

And I run Vista Ultimate 64bit on it.

What I need the most at the moment is more memory on my Gfx card, 512MB isn't that much when you are working with very highres textures.

I would count it a blessing to have even just half of the talent that all of you have shown through your work. These are some of the most incredible CG pieces I've seen yet. And Fiat Lux? My god, how long did that take?

Is anybody here into space/sci-fi graphics? Space vessels, nebulae, stuff like that?

If I remember correctly they used all commodity x86 junk. Low-spec Celerons, Durons, Athlons, Pentiums, off-the-shelf desktop graphics cards. Even IDE hard drives.

Only in the middle of their endeavor did they manage to get their hands on some nicer HP workstations, which were still x86.

Poor bastards. Probably could have cut their rendering time in half with some decent kit.

Software-wise they used Lightwave, After Effects, Photoshop and the like.

Blocked in China. These people have gone insane. They think they are going to be a world power - yeah right. With six year olds running the country.

I will admit it was amazing, but I found it kinda boring.

This is not as "epic", but for animation it is still pretty good:

Here's a link to a 900MB .MP4 file of it. You should have it in no time.

Very much worth the download though.

Very nice! If he doesn't have a job in the industry yet, that certainly would make for a killer demo reel
