Gaming & Rendering Rig Consultation

[werty]

---

cge raman tag kyaw kyaw dre ug mga technical terms na wa gyuy gamit if naa naka mismo sa UI sa 3d cad package like 3ds max.
ug mangutana ko, if akong current set up okay ra mag 3ds max may it be rendering heavy or light scenes?

ang inyo itubag for sure "gamit i9 bai".. or "palit 1 million GB RAM bai " or " pagbuhat render farm bai.." or " paghikog nalang bai.."

ug ako patubagon, mao ni ako tubag.

1. pag open ug usa ka scene sa 3d max like interior or bisan usa ra ka character model nga imong nabuhat
2. if interior scene imo gi open, tanan objects diha na scene applyi ug turbosmooth at 6x iteration. buhata sab ni if usa ra character model inyo gi open, applyi ug turbosmooth inyong model hangtud sa maximum iteration level
3. tuyok tuyoka inyo model/ scene, diha mabaw an if kagar imo set up. kung dagma na imo scene/model bisan 3x pa lang na iteration sa turbosmooth, ayaw nalang pagtuga tuga ug render large scenes.

ga expect ko na ang makasabot sa ako gi kyaw kyaw kato rang naka experience ug 3D modeling . psensya na sa wa ka G.

so in other words, choose between gaming, or rendering... but not both. hehehe.

@alwaysdrunk - try nya nako sa balay.kung kadaug ba ko unit bisan wala pay vcard...but am sure perti jud bughata ana kay daghan naa kaayo na segments.salamat

rhinoceros user here pero gigastohan jud ni nako ky 3d pud akng trabaho but furniture designing lang dili inorganic design, akong setup mahug nani ug all around from gaming entertainment to 3d application akong gilupig ang setup sa among opisina
CPU i7 3820 LGA 2011 3.6Ghz
mobo ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME X79
VGA GALAXY GTX690 4gb
HDD 1tb WD
casing NZXT phantom black (full tower)
1 ODD DVD-RW Pioneer
8 GB kingston hyper X 1600mhz (temporary will be upgrading soon to corsair dominator right after my vacation to philly)
LCS combined EK and KOOLANCE



gud luck sa imong setup TS

sa CPU (even on the 1st gen Core series and their AMD equivalent) ug GPU (gaming discrete GPU in this case)... for sure, maka dagan ni sila ug rendering apps but ang question is, "How much time it can complete the processing?"... mura'g mao ni siguro ang atoang hinuktukan... kamong mga naa sa ani na field, naa man gyud mo 1st hand experience sa HW ug sa SW ani, your comments are very reliable in this discussion thread...



@ TS,

kumbate na kaayo nang planned set-up nimo for your need... if you want a higher spec CPU (i7 in this case), pwede man. i-tailor lang na ang expenses/ spending sa imohang budget... or you can still use that i5 and add the extra cash for a more powerful gaming GPU (diri ra man gyud ni dba? dili man ka mo venture to those Quadro or Fire series) para you'll hit 2 birds in one stone... but again, that planned GPU of yours is ok man pud... check lang on your intended application. basin mas better suited sya for an Nvidia GPU... the final decision will be your call...

by the way, do not use WD Caviar Green... the rpm spec of the Greens are adjustible... from 5,400 to 7,200 rpm... in reality, they operate most of the time @ 5,400 rpm... that is the main reason, why they consume less energy - thus making them compliant to "Green Product Specification"... hinay ang response time sa booting-up ug access time in reading (including launching apps, writing (dili kaayo ta maka bantay sa writing speed gawas large files) sa rig nimo... if you'll buy Western Digital HDD, better purchase the WD Blue Caviar (7,200 rpm fixed) or if you can shell out more, the WD Caviar Black (7,200 rpm fixed)... or the VelociRaptors (10,000 rpm fixed... targeted for workstations and high end desktops)... mahal lang ning V'Raptors nila...

the WD Green Caviar are well suited as a storage drive... and for HTPC that needs low wattage...

agree ko kay bos alwaysdrunk.

and if ang time ug how long ang isturyahan, well, wala man cguro rendering time na paspas kaau if pina ka sipa na specs na imo gamiton nya heavy environment imo i render, dugay man gyud na. kung ganahan ka mas paspas nya paspas ang production sa imo outputs, aw mo gasto gyud ka ug render farm. ana ra gud na ka simple if imo nana i negosyo/services ang pagrendering. kay if for sideline or private practice na nimo, ok ra na na dili kinahanglan naa ka achieve specific "render time"

techniques ra na mag daug, including na the settings. isa tiil sa mga nakasabut...hihihih

testingi brad, sugod sa' sa iteration 1 then tuyok tuyok then iteration 2..iteration 3.. then feedback until asa na iteration sya sugod putol putol ug rotate. ayawg ka sapot ha makalagot bya na cge kag duot sa mouse unya ang model di motuman haha

[alwaysdrunk]

korak! archvin!

sauna sa amoa we use composite rendering labi na kung interior. una namo i render ang diffuse, then ang uban na daun like specular, lighting, blur etc.
bisan pag imo pc server sa NASA unya imo dunganon ug render kana tanan abtan gyud kag world war 3 usa mahuman hahaha

kung sa Hollywood(or similar 3d studios) kaha i render, mas dali kaha?

[lloyd_joy]

good inputs bro vin and alwaysdrunk...

about sa speed, basin naa'y big difference sa mga workstation na designed for this type of jobs? i don't know personally... in my field in the semicon industry, days ang difference if magpadagan ug simulation through FAE apps (the rig is running 24 hrs during processing)... to be specific, 2 to 3 days ang difference nila. depending sa gi simulate if desktop ug workstation ang gamiton... mathematical computation then rendering w/ animation ni sila... it might be a different thing on the rending process for design...

[archt_vin]

settings ug techniqes ra gyud ni mag daug kay tanan renderers dili same ug taste sa output, sama ra gud na sa photography ug graphic design, tanan photographers ug graphic designers naa kaugalingon taste sa output.

impt lang na ang imo hardware kaya ang apps na pang gamiton para d mukamang ang system and pwede ka maka multi task, labi na mag triple monitor, cad, render, edit(PS)...yeah!
