While I haven't come across any real information concerning
Luxology products being developed I must make the assumption that
these products are 3D tools targeting the Broadcast and Movie
industries.

Given this understanding a hardware based GPU is practically
useless as any end result rendering would vary from vender to
vender, model to model as well as driver to driver.

Such a market would require reproducable result reqardless of
hosting system. This can only be guaranteed with a custom
software based renderer that con produce the same visuals
regardless of the hist platform and display hardware.

Thus this become a VERY relevant test.

I agree, and I think that's why Luxology's engineering team chose it.
Hanson seems to think differently... I'm still waiting for his reasons.

This is the weirdest logic I've seen from a Mac zealot yet. It
doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Mac zealot! Where does that come from?

Tell me how many render farms have GPUs on each machine?

Must be:

"Hanson has invested heavily in becoming expert in the development and

The poor guy doesn't know any better. Or Microsoft is paying him enough
for him to be willing to look stupid publicly.
