forget 50,000 prims! today i used my old XP dual core machine and loaded the 50k OAR from yesterday’s post and shift duplicated them!
it took 20 minutes and my xp cpu running at 100%just to select all 50,000 prims! then about 5 minutes for them to duplicate
i set graphics to high, turned off antialias, and set draw distance to 512 metres. the frame rate went anywhere from the teens to over 50 frames per second!
i left the prims as they were, invoking physics – they are not set to phantom. the biggest limiting factor was my 5 year old cpu!
100,001 prims for free on sim-on-a-stick – kind of makes paying $295 for 15,000 seem daft!
is this a record? I think a previous high prim count was 75k?
perhaps its academic. the real point is that you could try. lets say you could try this on an alternative universe where linen labs had a sim plan where one could do this….
LL would have:
taken this as an attack
sent you an abuse report
canceled your account
taken your linden dollars
reminded you that you are a criminal
threatened you with real life collection of debt and damages
and just for good measure, snuck in another tier charge of $295
and you just wanted to experiment in a virtual world!
yep, stick with opensim.

And I was amazed at the 50k prim blog post! You doubled it and added one for good measure XD

lol, i am OCD after all and already thinking of making them all phantom and full-bright
i think full-bright is less intensive because the faces don’t respond to shading?
the real factor is my CPU and my laptop is mediocre and my desktop is an ancient dual core
as far as a record, there must be way more than this – this is just sim-on-a-stick
i would think that a server, could easily do this with one sim since it would be handling OpenSim.exe and the client would be a diff machine
for these tests, the one machine is both server and client!

“for these tests, the one machine is both server and client!”
That’s one of the most important things about OpenSim. An average person with an average computer can use it. No special equipment or training needed.

Sarge, what you said is, to me, the most important thing about the logistics of OpenSim
well, most important is that OpenSim is out there and runs very well
but its availability to many (except Macs) and its relatively low overhead (considering it is a bona fide 3D app) is such a great thing about it

yes, worse is that i pay $75 a month for less then 4k prims. 50k – 100k prims is good. can someone do it with aurora with 2k x 2k? that would be a lot of prims.

Bristle, I’ve been running Excelsior Station as a 1k x 1k with a prim allowance of 250,000 on my home machine for a couple of years now. I’ll have to double check my prim allowance on Created Worlds, but it has the same number of prims as my offline instance, something like 60,000 prims
Btw, as a small derail, I have just had the first successful drive of a scripted vehicle (one of Nebadon’s dune buggies) in Created Worlds, which is running AuroraSim.
And the first MVA, too! *laughs*

ooh, neat on the vehicle Sarge!
don’t fret bristle – you are paying real money for a real service and that has value for you (just like we pay to have our real grid)
