Thanks! Happy to share my sources … they're stored on a PC at work. I think the original is actually already in HD (or somewhere in-between NTSC and 1080p -- for example, I might have done it as 1024x768 for some reason… maybe because the Render was taking too long). Either way, what you're seeing on YouTube is already down-sampled several times (I down-sampled once from the original source to DVD R5 and that was further down-sampled for effects and YouTube). The original video is also over an hour long (so imagine lots of Gibibytes). With respect to getting an up-to-date version, what's going to be of value are my gource scripts that configure the rendering environment. A lot of trial-and-error went into figuring out what works and what doesn't work (especially when you start reaching 100,000 nodes and 50,000 edges; configuring the physics of the render was an art in patience as well as persistence). Aside from that, gource takes input from CVS (using a Perl script I tuned for the job), SVN (natively), and Git. So that's good news for getting an updated render -- we just apply the configs for that video but swap out the CVS log file for an updated SVN log file. Then of course… we either throw massive hardware or lots of time at the rendering process. (note: a $1200 rig with a fancy graphics card took over a month to render the original video and reaches speeds as SLOW as 0.03 frames-per-second in the rendering process). -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
