Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any plans for any kind of support for seperate physics processors when they become more mainstream, such as asus's planned PhysX card, and what kind of advantages such hardware might offer blender/game engine users? I know this is a pretty vague question but...

Cheers SD, I managed to download it from the "Download them all at once!!!" section, however, on your site, clicking on the "[Plugin Repository]" link at the top of the page reloads the page, whereas blender.org's version leads to this page http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins/sequence....

Hi when I try and download the plugin from the blender plugin repository the rgstereo plugin source (rgstereo.c) and mirror site are unavailable (403 access denied)... does anyone know any other mirrors/sources in the mean time?

Cheers, Weezill. much obliged.

sorry to ask a totally stupid question, but here goes, what about this shader?
http://rendermanacademy.com/docs/WrapDiffuse.htm could it be implemented into blender? Is it similar to the one in this example http://www.blender.org/cms/Adding_a_new ... 551.0.html?

Hi I tried using the program with win2k SP4 and win XP SP2 both with .net 1.1 and the server side always said there was a WMI connection error, any idea what this caused by?

Hi guys, thanks again for the replies, although I have to admit you've managed to confuse me on the ram side a little... does CAS == CL in old money? does DDR2 work with AMD 64 CPUs? Am I better getting fewer larger capacity sticks of RAM or more smaller capacity sticks (i.e. 2x512mb or 1x1gb and so...

thanks for all the replies everybody, I think i'll go with the 64bit dual core AMD... Its been a while since i was in the loop on hardware, last time i looked pc2700 was the fastest ram, what should i be looking for now? also does RAID improve blenders performance?

cheers again,

Is there a network rendering tute about anywhere, I can't seem to find any? I've got a few windows computers on a LAN and i'd like to be able to render on some or all of them to speed things up... How do I go about this? What are the requirements? anything else i need/should know?

Hi, I was wondering whether blender rendered entirely through the CPU or if made any use of graphic's card GPUs and which I ought to invest the most in for my next computer? What other aspects of hardware does Blender exert pressure on? (I'm guessing memory/bandwidth?) Any recomendations on which CP...

Hi guys, I'm trying to complete the blender 2.3 documentations 30 + 30 mins animation tutorial, but the following page http://download.blender.org/documentation/htmlI/x1247.html says to "Press EKEY and click on the Extrude menu entry to extrude them.
