Benchmark description
Autodesk* Maya* 2010 Mental Ray* render and SPECapc* for 3ds Max* 9.0—graphics and hardware shader.
Autodesk* Maya* 2010 Mental Ray* render runs in the background on number_of_ processor minus one processor. It renders an ASCII scene without graphics in the background while SPECapc* for 3ds Max* 9.0—graphics and hardware shader runs on one logical processor in the foreground. Time (seconds) elapsed is reported when the workloads are finished. Elapsed time is then converted to jobs/day as the final score.
