Go 64 BitsMay 23rd, 2010Both Windows and Mac versions of Box Shot 3D were 32-bit from the first days. Even on 64-bit platforms they still run as 32-bit applications. There is no speed difference between running 32-bit code on 64 or 32-bit platform, so I didn’t care about that. Until the last days. While working on version 2.14, I’ve decided to build a 64-bit version of Box Shot 3D to compare the performance. The results were outstanding, 64-bit versions run 25-30% faster than 32-bit versions on the same hardware! So, starting from 2.14 Box Shot 3D will support both 32- and 64-bit platforms. This means that everyone who runs Windows 64 or Snow Leopard will see a quite big difference in rendering time. Another side of the coin is that I have to build a separate version for Mac OS X Tiger, as it doesn’t support 64-bits. According to the site logs, people still use Tiger and run Box Shot 3D on it, so I have to support it. Perhaps, the rendering speedup will encourage them to upgrade Your Comments:
