Animator says Hi

[DarkCircles]

Hey folks, i'm Brandon!
I spend a fair bit of time playing with the system configs to make beautiful things on Oc's but never forummed 'til now.
If anyone else is into animations etc give us a shout it'd be cool to chat. Especially as i'm looking into doing a build to give me enough grunt to do the work. Those who experience rendering/cad systems etc will appreciate the horror i'm enduring of trying to do all of this...on a macbook pro...not enough juice man!
Hope alls well with folks. And hello again.
I'm also a game type of person...so y'know..the rigs gotta be able to play some good stuff too when i'm not creating worlds, creatures or odd things.

Welcome to the fourms do you use maya to render your 3d models if you do 3 work in which case the more ht's and core's (intel) the better

Thanks!
No I'm on Blender for the time being. Was planning on leaving Maya for Uni as i'll be taught a few different systems. Blenders ok for my level right now anyway. Though if i plan to do any particle systems, or nice tricks in the compositor i tend to disappear to watch a film whilst it renders! I'm aware rendering times are long for this type of stuff anyway, but even simple(ish) stuff i'm upto at the moment takes an awful long time...and i'm fairly certain my macbook wont survive much more of this abuse!

I'll have a shufty through Intels, Am i thinking old school in that AMD handle graphical stuff a bit neater?

It totally depends, if you require pure processing power the latest Intel i5 and i7 sansybridge cpu are by far the best, the latest AMD F8 bulls can't touch the the Intel i5. If your talking directx 11 without a pci-e gpu then an AMD APU may suit you better.
