I've already experimented with Sculpt and HDTV...I generated some 24bit traces
at the SMPTE 240M standard (1930 x 1035 I believe), just to see how long it'd
take to generate images for HDTV.
 
In SCANLINE-SNAPSHOT mode (which allows SHINY texture only), it took about
45minutes...at full PHOTO mode, it took just over two hours.  Not bad
considering each frame for the "Gymnast" demo took nine hours at 320x200 HAM.
 
Oh, I was using a 2500/30 for the rendering...I'd be interested in seeing
times using GVP's 50MHz '030 card!
