The 1980s computer produces surprisingly gorgeous ray-traced results, but be prepared to measure performance by hour rather than second.

    i once took 12+ hours to raytrace on an 8mhz Amiga only to realize that it didn’t have any light sources and so was pitch black.

    The human eye can only see 1 frame per 18 hours so I consider this reasonably fast.

    This is what it was like using 3D programs on an Amiga in the late 80s or early 90s. One image took hours and hours to render. 5-6 hours would be a short one, usually it was more like 12.
