Hi guys thanks for the welcome. I use twilight render but this also brings up other questions
I don't see twilight being advertised anymore as much as let's say indigo or v-Ray. What do you use? As for software the sketchup site has a requirements page so it's probably good to meet them or go above and beyond. I plan on doing high quality rendering for landscape design ( residential) and possibly some animations.

I know this topic really depends on ones preference towards operating systems. None the less, I am looking to get some intel on what system other people use and what kind of software they use (hardrive, ram size, graphic/video card size etc..) i'm not to knowledgeable on the subject and am looking to upgrade from my crappy old laptop to a desktop any advice?

thanks..... cheers
