Okto,

Don't forget, that if you know someone who works at a university, they can get a Mac ever cheaper- usually with all the VAT knocked off, and a load of Applecare thrown in for free.

Thanx for the great advice Tom,
but i wonder how they will process it here in Indonesia. refurbished Mac also quite hard to get in here. anyway will try it Tom.

best regards

I really would like to thank you very much for the respond.
@Tom, @Gaieus, @Dale, @ Gilles and @ Rich O' Brien your advice are clearly now to me. i will buy a Macbook pro 13" i7. cant afford the 15" the price its touching the $1800.
i dont know if there's refurbished Mac in Indonesia or how they will make it happend.

thank you so much guys.. will be updating soon after i buy the laptop. thank you so much. really helpfull.

GBU everyone

Hi Tom,
thanx for the respond. i think the MBP 15 " much more expensive then the 13" MBA. yes i do rendering also. im using supodium for sketchup.

the application i will using will be :

1. Sketchup
2. cinema 4D
3. autocad.

im trying to learn the above application.in the internet they say MBA is as fast as MBP. but since they never mention it about how well it will run if running 3D application or rendering program.
my budget is no more then $ 1500. very tight i know.

so the MBA13" is the same performance with MBP 13" ?
can you share more if using MBA 13" for rendering?

thanx again for the respond
really helpfull

Hi everyone..
i would like to asking for advice about which Mac series i should buy. is Macbook air 13" good enough for SU & render? or i should turn to Macbook pro 13''/15" ?
first i love imac, but since i quite mobile enough i think i need to buy a laptop. while having Macbook air is light as it could. but im affraid the prformance is not good compare to macbook pro.

please guys, help me with this. since i dont have much cash/ tight budget i cant buy two computer.
i really need your advice.

thanx

regards

Hi everyone,
could it be possible to import new texture per folder in Mac?
it's kinda waste time to import it one by one and beside my Mac keep getting slower and slower when doing that ( i dont know the problem)
i try to use the ruby script massmaterialimporter.rb and put it in library>app support>SU8>SU>Plugins
but only the folder name that shown in paint bucket tools. not the file.
please tell me what it suppose to do

thanx everyone..

Thanx Pete.. very usefull link..

Your color scheme made me think of this picture from Picasa. It is from Morocco I think. Not the exact colors but shows how strong colors might be used. Perhaps someone can paint a scene like this as faux portal on the wall.

that a very strong colours. and the ornament on the upside section, is very beautiful. can you tell me what it is? so ethnic..

@ Gaeius
Thanx for the texture link.. really appreciate it.

@ Solo

Hello Everyone, i need help here. my friends is asking me if i could design Travel office in Bogor, West Java Indonesia. the client is asking for the theme like morrocon or turkey style.maybe middle east influences. since im not that experience,(been try to search in net)but not much i could find. if possible could you share the ideas, or references for me to search? where could i find the texture of carpet or wallpapers, tile? im really sorry if im asking to much.
do i need post the size of travel office place?

thank you

@gaieus said:

Could you share that file, please?

here a few of texture i would like to add. im add new folder for each material.so it can be more neat per folder. Like brick folder, tile folder.why some of the material can be add/save and sometimes it wont? do i have to use and save it the project 1st before i quit the app? coz last nite i try to make folder for my material it can be save and when i open it now my material is there.( after i render it using the material i just added.)
