What is your computer at home?
I'm convinced I need to update my computer at home. My Maya won't render heavy scenes which worked fine at school, even though I just increased my ram to 1Gb. If you're happy with your home set-up, tell me what you're using for:
CPU; Ram; and Video Card. For example, I'm using AMD 2200 (1.8Ghz) 1Gb Ram nVidea FX 5600 256Mb ... so I can get an idea as to what to look into. Thanks!! |
p4 at 2.66 ghz
builtin vid card(getting a radeon 5500 in about a week) 512 mb ram pretty crap but that radeon will help alot i think you need a better cpu:beer: :EDIT: yay post # 250:attn: |
Desktop
AMD athlon 1.7Ghz 1 Gb RAM 40 gig Boot disk 160 Gb Storage NVIdia Gforce 4400 Laptop Intel Core 2 duo 2.26 Ghz 2 Gb Ram 120 Gig HDD NVidia Gforce 7900 GTX 512Mb Graphics Card |
At home:
P4 2.2 GHz 512 MB RAM 2x80GB HD 64MB ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder Pro 8500 DV and it still works like a pro. Here at work: P4 1.5 GHz 512 MB 1x20GB HD 1x80GB HD 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 6200 handles more in viewports, but renders slower. |

strider, whats the differance between acrobat and reader..?? much?? I hear reader is more insuccure but thats not what i mean?
Im using acrobat 8now, before, reader 7, they seem exactly the same to me?? what is their purpose if you dont mind me asking :) fooshmack, the latest 3D World or a mag like that will give you good specs and reviews from pros that have tested the latest stuff, there are pages of stuff to ream through and you'll get a good idea of how to balance money and needs, but then again, judging by your eagle eye interpretation of strider's low RAM workputer you already have a fair idea of specs?. |
Hey there Mirek,
Reader only allows you to open PDF documents but with Acrobat you can create them. Hope that clears things up. Take it easy, Mat. |
sure does, looks like im on the right track, thanks matt. hope uni isnt being too cruel, it can really do ones head in ,in a big way.
take care |
acrobat also comes with adobe distiller, which allows for pdf creation from postscript and encapsulated postscript files for pre-printing.
it's useful for embedding fonts, color separation, internal image management, etc. |
