Hi guys,
I just received the parts of all my orders for a new computer build:
i7 4770k intel processor
16 gigs Ram g.skill sniper (will upgrade to 32 gigs later on)
gigabyte gtx 780 3gb GPU
250 gb samsung evo ssd
650w 80+ gold S12 seasonic PSU
asus z87-A motherboard (got a cheaper one to save some money)
i’m a hobbyist who plans on using maya for 3d still images and animation with maybe arnold as the rendering engine
For still images, i’m really not too worried since i can just let it render… even if it takes many hours… but how long will a high quality render take (approximaetly) if i’m tprying to animate a character(1-3) within a simple scene (like the interior of a room for example) for a short 1-5 min long animation?
*edit: just read this thread: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=23&t=1181950
now i’m actually pretty satisfy with my selections =) i was worried at first after seeing how some people are running 12-32 cores or multiple graphic cards
