thanks both of you very much for the time - I appreciate it.
we use CPU rendering and apparently we don't need better video card as the current PC (total price £600) manages this aspect fine.
32Gb RAM sounds non-negotiable.
thanks especially for the suggested alternative builds - will look at these now.
i guess this is not something that can be answered in this forum?
do let me know if I posted in the wrong place.
thanks
hi all
we're looking to upgrade our V-Ray machine to manage real-time / interactive rendering. have been recommended a machine with following spec:
Xeon W processor
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
2TB Conventional Storage Drive
High-end NVidia RTX 3000 series card with 12GB dedicated RAM
£2,563.15 + VAT
the 2TB drive is a separate requirement, but otherwise the main reason for this machine is to run V-Ray for Sketchup as well as possible. I'm afraid I know next to nothing about the hardware, so would appreciate any advice.
What are you running?
Anything above underspec'd?
Have we not got something important?
I know you can spend much more on a machine, and we can increase if essential, but I need confidence to lay out 4x more than our other machines cost.
thanks very much
i think there used to be a forum for this. I have work available for modelling and/or rendering (architecture) and would like to discuss this.
thanks all - stuart
hello - there used to be a section on the forum for discussions of paid work (i think) - is there still? i am an architect and might use some help converting my sketchup models into lovely renders... would anyone here be interested in this? if it makes any difference, south-east england (guildford) is my local.
keep up the good work! thanks!
nice. you should design some furniture to put in your house.
yes very nice style - is that a standard line style from skp?
it looks like the secret is photoshop skills!
hey nice project - wow they ruined it! i hope you can do it justice!
is that sectioncutface ruby there? i use that a lot.
wow those textures really will add depth..... we're watching.....!

Can you post the hidden geometry?, it must be very tight for that size.
boom! tight for sure - that rear end is super detailed!
really great to see the hidden geometry thanks for this..... and it looks to me even more beautiful now - they do not betray you at all, it looks like you have coped with the difficult surfaces pretty well.
nice work!
or soapskinbubble?
you don't need a plugin for the tubing though - use followme tool
