Re: How to make a 3dsmax scene lighter for rendering.
I've found that instances usually are more efficient in max and render faster. I use instances when I'm placing bolts on a hipoly model for example. you could also look into using the xref system:… -
Re: PC build for 3D help
Like others have said, I would build a pc that costs only 1300-1500 bucks and upgrade/build a new one in 2-3 years. This way you get a lot more bang for the buck. But if you really want to spend your $4000 at once you could go with something like the following: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 3400 Mhz) -… -

Re: CUDA, Opencl, or AMD? (GPU Question)
I vote for 32GB of ram and a 780GTX (non-TI). When working with a lot of high res textures and Maya, Unreal Engine, etc open you'll be surprised how quickly you can eat up 16GB.

Re: [CE3] Metro Inspired Environment
looking great. I watched the last movie you posted. And I would like to suggest some points that might improve it. To me the camera makes to complicated and weird curves. This gives the impression that the cameraman was drunk. :p Also I think you zoom to much into details from certain area's wich gives the viewer not alot… -

Re: Maya 2016 Joints doing crazy things
780 GTX TI And, unrelated, but a driver rollback 100% did fix the problem. So, I guess I will wait on new drivers. -
Re: Getting an iMac for 3D rendering. Suggestions?
Does backburner have a linux network render? I guess you could use windows as well, but Linux wouldn't cost you any more.* You could make a cheap headless render box with the same internal specs for half what you would pay for the imac. Just defer all your renders to that box on your network.* *EDIT: NM "Install Backburner… -
Re: Curved arches
Hope this makes sense... I don't have all the correct numbers memorized, so you may need to mess around a bit. -Start out by making a cylinder with the number segments equal to the number of arches you want. (like 16 sides, for example). Make it the size of the curve you want, but keep it about 1 unit high. Keep everything… -
