T minus one hour on the stream, take two.
We will continue tomorrow with the next few cars.
Stream done!
We only got through four cars today, so weâll be picking up with the next engine (whichever one GenJeFTâs computer decides is next) at some point in the afternoon tomorrow. Watch this space for news!
(If you want to gamble on our being able to finish going through all the cars, feel free to send files to myself and GenJeFT and weâll throw them in the hopper to be dissected.)
Preview-Edit: Ah, GenJeFT beat me to it. 
Will you be putting it on the youtube?
Yes, please put it up on YouTube. Unfortunately I canât have life revolve around Automation and can only view it in my own time
Yes it will be. The thing just took me 3 hours to process to something I can put to youtube. Not that there was much editing, just putting in my channel video intro and outro and putting it into a format that is better for uploading to youtube.
Also the sound works MUCH BETTER! i think⌠Sounded good to me at least.
Sounds like you need an Octo-core!
Its a Core I7.
Runs at 3.4ghz each. I dont want to think about how long it would have taken to process that otherwise.
EDITâŚ
Well it is only a hyperthreaded 4 core but it still provides a better then 20% boost to video editing.

Not all i7s are equal 
. But good show sir.
Its actually a 1st generation i7 from September 2009. The time I built this thing. its 4 generations behind but really⌠its so overpowered for most applications its not really noticeable. I get a VERY steady 60FPS on Grand Theft Auto and my bottleneck for that is my video card not the CPU.
Now to fix the derailed train. Here is the link to the livestream uploaded to youtube.
Thatâs the link youtube says it will be at. I just started uploading and it says it will take 75 minutes then a bit of processing from the time of this post. Yay for uploading at 1AM.

YAY on the continue tomorrow! A Chance to have mine in!
I had to leave early while watchting, but it was a great Show, quite liked it! I also have a i7 - 2600k, still going strong for an age old cpu
Glad to see people like it.
I hope nobody minds here but I want to share a small concern I have.
I am running
Intel Core i7 Extreme 975
12 gigs of triple channel ram (9-9-9-24 each channel at 801 MHz)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti with 4 gigs of ram available to it (2 gigs on chip, 2 gigs part of system memory)
I get a steady 60 FPS on Grand Theft Auto with fairly high settings⌠and only get 45 FPS on automationâŚ
Now as I mentioned in the video frames per second is not that important in a game with no major animations (about all thatâs animated is the engine and the moving dot on the track). My concern is that even with all that power the game still does not run that well, how playable is it on the average system? My laptop which is not great, but not absolute crap, cant run well at all. Its almost unplayable. Its so janky and stuttery that its basically unplayable. While my computer is no longer in the top 1% its definitely in the top 5% and if it takes a computer in the top 5% to get 45FPS on automation what are others getting? I would honestly expect to pull 120FPS+ like with minecraft and other rather low intensity games on this computer.
I think that theyâre planning on moving over to Unity - that might have a good speedup on the graphics in addition to allowing for some more sophisticated car paint models.
They are on Unity now, they are moving to over to UE-4

Dual threaded (as far as I can tell), and it hammers core #1. Likely will be fixed by the move to UE-4

As someone with a rather beefy desktop, i only pull around 50-55fps with maxed out graphics. while on my rather shoddy laptop, i get around 20-30fps with lowest possible.
Actually, theyâre on their in-house engine now.

foot finds mouth.
OK, Iâm finished with my appointment and on the way home - GenJeFT, aim for a 4 p.m. start again? Hour fifteen from now?
GenJeFT still busy?
