Computer System

[trinigy 0]

Hi @ all,

very nice Community here!

I want to buy a newer Computer System. This system is used for Renderings, for example 3ds Max with Mental Ray or Maya!

My purpose is to be able to use 3d program and photoshop at the same time.

Is this possible? What minimal requirements should have my coming system to work stable, fast and without hardware Errors.

The final rendering time is most important for me.

Where must I lay my attention?

I´m for many tips and opinions happy.

Many thanks for help!

I am using PC winxpsp2/vista, Mac book

I am using mainly XP SP2. In my opinion Vista is still not good enough for VJ-ing, but others may not agree with me.

@ trinigy: If you are planning to do both 2d and 3d rendering at the same time, the most important parts that you must consider are the CPU and the RAM memory. Core 2 Duo or Core Quad (if you have enough finances) are the best decisions. Make sure you have at least 1GB RAM (still i don't think less than 2GB's are useful for rendering) at the proper speed (800/1333 MHz). So this leads to a good motherboard with good preferences. Which one - it depends on your finances again. The other thing you can look for is the speed of the HDD/HDDs - use SATA or RAID if possible.

i use hp pavillion dv2385 ..dual core intel but on some QT loops with resolume it just stops...not enough speed

and also my desktop 3200+,2gb ram,7600gt

btw does it matter which graphic card is for resolume? or not at all

[vjsmooth 0]

Resolume is using Open GL Technology. So it is better to use NVidia videocards. If possible try the 8xxx series. Still, be sure that the card is at least 128bits. 64bits is not enough.

If using ATI Radeon videocards you still will be able to play with Resolume, but you may experience some difficulties while the video clips are loading in the layers. I mean that you can see 1 second freezing while the clip loads.

Killer, what resolution are your QT clips? I am using mostly QT and i have no difficulties.
