RE: Building the CM-2 connection machine using an SGI Tezro
Thanks very much for that! I've just cropped the black out of the image that you attached and have updated the chip label accordingly! Smile

I'll send it across to the Tezro and use it in the next render!

Here's the next iteration with the relevant label correction and CPU + socket completed:

I'm now complete with the component set!

I'll get on with the board when I have time!

That is some pretty impressive work right there my friend! Scream

Thanks Man!

I have managed to get some more information, giving me the correct labels for the DIP's, so I'll update the model accordingly! Smile

This is a close up of a node board from a CM-2a, the RAM modules feature different chip packages to those found on the node board of a standard CM-2, but the layout of all of the rest of the components on the board is identical, so I can now allocate correct labels to the various DIP's on the board!

Interesting to see the re-wires, looks like two solid strand 30 gauge kynar insulated wire wrap wires and one 24 gauge teflon insulated hookup wire...

RE: Building the CM-2 connection machine using an SGI Tezro
Today I made a couple of corrections to the models in my CM-2 component set and I'm going to continue the process of producing the correct labels for the DIP's found on the compute node, using my Mac.

Thanks! Smile

The Tezro and the Mac integrate together perfectly and essentially function as one system! If I'm working on the one "half of the system", I just need to swivel my chair around and I can work on the other!

RE: Building the CM-2 connection machine using an SGI Tezro
Today I transferred the component set that I built up in Maya 6.5 to Blender on my Mac, for assembly and final rendering. When you export a ".mb" file from Maya to a ".obj" file, which can be imported into Blender, you loose the textures that you assigned to the model, so in this case i'm going to have to setup all of the texture defining nodes for this model in Blender.

This image shows the imported model as well as the arrangement of nodes that I've setup in Blender to denoise the output of the Cycles render engine:
