Drawings wot I done
  • I love that runner model. How viable is it doing stuff with Blender with no graphics card? I've got a fairly new MacBook Pro so the processors ok. 8gb Ram.
    Anything I do will definitely be in the "messing around" category.

    What? Like an integrated graphics chip you mean?
    It'll run like a Serbian war criminal on a Macbook Pro.

  • Yeah intel HD. I can't work out whether a Serbian war criminal runs quick or slow. They all run but don't they all get caught?

    Lol! Find a demo file and see for yourself. There'll obviously be a limit, and rendering always takes a long time, but a Macbook pro will work very well.

    The images I posted on the last page were drawn on an AMD Turion. 
    I was cursing it at times, but it worked. Rendering an animation though might prove to be frustrating...

    I've always wanted a proper £3000 work station, but wtf.

  • I don't use blender but if it is the same as all other 3D packages then rendering will be processor driven. The viewport will be graphics card based but shouldn't be any more demanding than something like After Effects.

    If your viewport is running slow on a macbook pro (poet and I didn't know it) then look at optimising your project using layers and checking the sizes of textures, also keep textures in multiples of 4 pixels (256, 512, 1024 etc).
  • The processors sound. I'll give it a go and see what happens. I've got a bit of free time and have wanted to get into this for a while. Kind of assumed I'd need new hardware though. But it sounds like I can at least get started on what I've got.
    keep textures in multiples of 4 pixels (256, 512, 1024 etc).
    Why's this? Ease of scaling down and keeping everything consistent?
  • SOmeone will be able to explain this better than me but I think it is because computers deal with stuff in multiples of 4, so they can process it more efficiently if it is a multiple of 4.

    It is more a hangover from when I was doing textures for real time and games as they require it to display properly but it is good practice in general.
  • If any of you guys want the original of the drawing i did for you then im happy to send it out in the post.

    Ah that makes sense. Should have probably been able to work it out for myself
    really.

  • Couple of sectional renders and a interior render of my final project for uni. Much improved from last time. First one is a (320mb) work in progress, will be printed at about 1.1m wide:

    Water appears to be a big theme in your work... Is that your choice, or a result of the briefs you're given?

    It's a hydrotherapy centre we need to design, mate, so the fact that you recognise that makes me pleased!

    Did you use a drawing tablet to do that skerret? It looks great, is it part of something bigger or just a one off?
