I just want to know what times other people are getting for radiosity?

It takes me 16-20 hours to do the radiosity on my level!!!!

Im not sure why it takes so long? coz my comp is a 2.4 gig so it should be quite quick, and I dont run any other programs while im doing it.

Just wondering.

30mins for my groundbase level radiosity, if you've seen that. there's quite a few light emitters and plenty of models in there. That's while i'm running AIM, MSN & Outlook Express. Although it is on radiosity_quality 0... for me there's no need for quality 1 as i see no difference, just a hell load of extra time while you have to sit and do nothing.. lol

I have an Athlon XP3200+ and 768mb of DDR400 ram

this is hard to say i think it depends on alot of things, mostly i would say how fast your CPU is, amount of memory and then last of all size of the level. The longest i have to wait is 2 1/2 hours, this quality 0 with a level that was 30000x25000x16000 units and only a sky. I have a 2.4c with 512 ddr 4000.

My normal maps i run bout 30-45 mins level 1 radiosity.

Oh yeah one of these days i will actually make a map worth taking a pic of and showing it hehe

I find that the biggest factors affecting time are 1) the quality, and 2) the size of the level.

For me to run radiosity on a level about twice the size of tut.map it takes a few minutes. But on a map I'm working on (which is really really big) it takes about 1hr30mins-2hrs. (Both on quality 0)

for a final version: several hours
for a rough fully lit version: 1 minute
you can type in radiosity_save at any time, it just wont look as nice
