Peach Movie work in progress (Cessen's Rigging Demo)

using 64bit linux

do you use 'gimp' for textures?

I am using gimp and blender in both XP32 and kubuntu32. I'm kind of 'matching' the performance in both OSs

I didn't notice a blender difference, but gimp works better in kubuntu

I believe in those softwares, but I fell something is wrong. cause photoshop does faster than gimp and 3dsmax does faster than blender doing the same things (in the SAME machine) I wonder if there's a kind of 'lock'to be released somewhere in some setting (like ram and cpu priorities)

blender probably runs around as fast on linux as windows, however when you start using a lot of ram (over 2gig), I think 64bit blender on linux still wins.

Gimp is better on linux from my experience.

As for 3dsMax running faster, the speed difference probably depends on each feature. I know blender raytracing is not that good, but its being re-written currently. 3DS Guys also have an advantage that they only support 1 OS and can optimize for that more.

yes, gimp for textures.

using windows7 with AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, 4x 3.20GHz will work wonders.. x-server is not smooth enough. where's e17 ? :)

yea the blender that you can download in its web site, in fact there is some version more capables like custom builds from users that are adding new features
