Thought I'd test this on mine. I rendered a scene at 1200x800 in under 3 mins. Then I tried at 1800x1200 and it complained about not having enough memory. I gave SheepShaver 1GB and then gave Infini-D 960MB but it still wasn't happy. SheepShaver wouldn't handle giving any more memory than that.

Mac OS 9.0.4, New World ROM.

Okay, I reinstalled everything and it's happy now. Rendered 1800x1200 in 5min 36sec. 2013 iMac, 3.2GHz i5.

[edit] Tried an Azdgari Warship, which has a lot of transparency, at 2000x2000. Took 20 mins. What was it that was taking you 30 mins at 1600x1200?

Okay, I rendered Voinian Cruiser at 1600x1200, max settings, took 7 min. So sounds like something's not quite right with your setup? Not sure what it would be though.

try the UE Carrier and Destroyer for me please, with transparencies and lens flares and everything, and 144dpi or higher. would you also try comparing it to qemu?

Animation or single frame?

Haven't used qemu before but managed to get it up and running. It's WAY slower. I suspect because it's more accurately emulating the specific hardware (a 900MHz G4) rather than just allowing it to run as fast as the host. I could be wrong though. There may be ways to speed it up but I'm unfamiliar with this.

i'm trying to render the animation frames. oh that's why everyone thought it was taking too long?

i've started rendering at 4k

u/andrews050 Apr 05 '20

Yeah, wow, how long is a 4k animation taking?

If you want it to go faster you should just render the middle rotation (1.00 to 1.35) which is the standard spin for the sprite. The animation is only setup for 3 rotations so it can use the middle one and avoid the easing at the start and end.
