Re: xNormal AO Artifacts

Re: 3ds max Material Question...

Re: Going to upgrade my PC. Need some advice.
for rendering... looking at cinebench benchmarks will probably be most revelant. Every machine I have owned put together in a renderfarm does not equal the power of my personal machine. ( 12 heavily overclocked water cooled i7-980x threads ) which still renders 20% better at stock speeds than a 2600k and is only 10% slower… -
