It depends on how well it's gutted... Can be a matter of hours

Hmmm. My post was in response to the last post on the previous page... odd.

Urby has inspired me to start creating new textures. So I used my real-life whiteboard to make a silly in-game whiteboard.

I can make as many as I want, and I want to make a lot. 
Oh, and those walls were made by me, too.

I DON WANNAH! Wait what? Nvm.
This is good that you made some textures Dimbark. I like how you can see the camera flash on the white board when you took a picture of it xD, the blueish bit in the middle.

I like how you can see the camera flash on the white board when you took a picture of it xDThat wasn't the camera flash, my camera doesn't use flash. I used my HD video camera which had a regular camera mode. But it actually makes it more realistic since it blends in with just about any color of light.
The light was coming from my window that my curtains effortlessly tried to keep from the shot.

Nothing close with the VIS RAD puzzle so far. Keep in mind that all textures are .5 and this affects shadow definition.

Heh, nobody really came close.
Correct answer was:
Vis: 9 secs
Rad: 54 mins
Yes, truly if you want defined shadows and bounce lighting over huge expanses, you need to be prepared for Rad to take a shit all over you.

I saw somewhere a chart that displays how long it takes for each processor to compile a map. Quad core was about 2x faster than Duo core, and for me I can compile a large map with maximum settings in about 1 hour max on my Duo core, so if you have a good processor it can be really fast.

I'd be really grateful if you'd find that chart again. I would use that chart as another reference in my research for buying a new computer.

My vis and rad usually are ok. vis is usually high but processes steadily, rad on the other hand, is longer and moves in leaps and bounds.
Normally i have lesser bounces to keep control of my lights and shadows.

Okay so i did some of my own testing with what i had available to test with.
All tests were performed on the latest vhlt build on dm_quakearena (again what i had available) with these settings:
HLBSP -subdivide 256
HLVIS -full
HLRAD -extra -bounce 16
Note that hlbsp uses all available threads inspite being told not to
And immediately we see that having an 4 core 8 thread processor doesn't give you much advantage over only 4 threads.
*i7 is 2nd gen (Sandy Bridge)
**Total times have been calculated with a crappy time calc so don't mind them much

No dim , judging from when I uploaded BOG I must've been at least 8 years old when I was on this site , possibly 9. I take the cake as far as I know , I'm unsure about Dr.Mapper's age though.

So much waffle, not enough WIP shots. These are VERY WIP. Working on a classic style (original textures, no model props, etc) map for HLDM at work because The Core SVN doesn't work there any more.
I know the lighting is crappy at the moment and some of the textures desperately need changing.

Same map, 1 hour later. 
Much happier with this hallway now.
And a new room, more work needed.

Can't get more retro than "shit maps that they never released"
Speaking of shit, that same room again, from a different angle, after a further 45 mins work.
