FINALLY, the AA computer lab has banned students from rendering during the day in the computer lab. While I am greatly relieved that we will again be able to use the computers in the lab, I still have my complaints about the printers.
rendering
"In computer graphics, rendering is the process of generating the pixels of an image from a high-level description of the image's components. Rendering is important in both 2D and 3D computer graphics. " (thank you wikipedia)
"The process of creating life-like images on a screen using mathematical models and formulas to add shading, color, and lamination to a 2D or 3D wireframe."
(thank you www.directron.com/videoglossary.html)
This process takes HOURS AND HOURS. The process of converting to the slickest-looking, hi-fi image takes FOREVER and requires so much power that people often end up using up to 3 computers (don't ask me about the technical details) for one image. The programs they use for this probably wouldn't even open on my computer, or at least I certainly wouldn't get very far.
Anyway, this is more-or-less interesting, depending on how many computers are not in use for me to print my simple measly word document or pdf. Often, the rendering process would render about 5 computers out of service as well, rendering me infinitely frustrated.
Well, as I've nearly completed all the things for which I'll need to use the computer lab for a long while, it matters not to me.
