Major thumbs up on Sitting Man, but it's your Lines and Fragmenting The Nonstatic works that really stuck some creative thoughts with me, were both done with Houdini?

Weekend nothing, I have not seen the light of day or slept but a few hours since I purchased my license a week ago!

So if I have a pair of 9800gt's, running the OS on 1 and rendering on second I shouldn't have the driver time out problem? Because I do, when I push beyond a 2 second render pass the driver shuts down every time.

I know very little about reg keys, but in the case of 2 GPUs are there still only 1 ...
