Talk:Vote to Buy a Rhino License (view source)
Revision as of 13:58, 23 October 2014

Questions: If the intent is to install Rhino on one of the machines in the 3D printing area, does the system allow 3D printing to happen in the background while someone is using Rhino? Or can Rhino render in the background while someone is actively setting up a 3D print job?

Suggestion: If there is a real desire to have a 3D workstation available at PS1, please consider purchasing a machine that is prioritized for 3D modeling. This will reduce member frustration, as it will both avoid resource conflict with existing systems, and be easier to use in that it is more responsive and renders faster.

=== Space computers ===
Our current machines are this: [[Lenovo_ThinkCentre_M93p_Hardware_Assembly]]
* The machines have 8 GB of ram.
* OpenGL 2 is an old standard, we are fine,
* The machines are windows 8.1 64bit
* I believe the machines are 4 core.
=== Learning Curve ===
Rhino was chosen because it seems to have the least steep learning curve of most of the available options.
=== Priority ===
I suspect the software would be either installed on the electronics lab PC, or we will take advantage of the [http://wiki.mcneel.com/zoo/home Zoo] software and allow the software to be used on any PC.
