  1. Sounds good, but I don't think it's worth the money.
  2. In the refraction slot make the fog color a bit darker, but not too much, it's very sensitive. Put some objects near the glass to see whether the objects will be reflected.
  3. Most of the time I say that I help investors to sell their unbuilt property easier.
  4. I have read the second edition of the book, it's excellent book, highly recommended.
  5. If you have short budget, 4770K is preferable, because LGA 2011 motherboards are also more expensive. But if you have the money you should definitely pick 4930k, except the extra cores it supports 4 memory channels, which means, if you make a config with 4 memory modules, you will have 2 times faster communication between the RAM and CPU.
  6. These are results from my workstation and laptop Dell T3600 | XEON E5-1620 3.6ghz | 16GB RAM | Ati FirePro V7900 Screen Res 2560X1440 REALISTIC 16 SHADED 16 WIREFRAME 7 REALISTIC+EDGED FACES 9 ASUS G75VW | Core i7-3610QM 2.3-3.2ghz | 32GB RAM | GTX670M Screen Res 1920x1080 REALISTIC 13 SHADED 13 WIREFRAME 6 REALISTIC+EDGED FACES 6 It will be good if we make a similar comparison test with a simple test scene for CPU Vray rendering test, because I had a surprising result when I made a test on my laptop and workstation
  7. I'm using Win 8.1, I have it on my workstation and also on my laptop, I made clean install on both of them and the only problem was the MS .NET platform. But after a bit googling I found the solution http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443(v=vs.110).aspx /check the troubleshooting section/.
  8. Hello, I have the same problem with the proxies and distributed rendering. Did you find the solution for the problem?
  9. Once I have tried Colimo Motiva demo, I wanted to have control over 6 materials and I scene which takes usually 1 hour to render, took about 6. Colimo makes extra full render for each material.
  10. The only concern is the 8 gigs of ram, try to buy it with 16GB of ram, also there is no reason to buy it with two slow HDDs, it will be much better to buy it with one 7200rpm HDD and you will have one empty slot for future SSD upgrade.
  11. I have asus G75VW with 32 gigs of ram and it rocks, the overall cooling is very good. I have used it several times for 20+ hours renderings and I never had a problems. You can find it with 16 gigs of ram for about 1200 usd.
  12. Dell Ultrasharp HM models are not preferable for pro, better to go for H models, price difference is about 20-25%. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2713h.htm is a very good review about the Dell monitors.
  13. I have tried Vray cam, when rendering AO pass with mental ray, it works too.
  14. First you should use Windows x64, because at them moment your system uses only 3.5Gb of ram, due the limitations of win 32. Second to benefit from the extra ram, your apps should ne also x64. Adding SSD will improve only program startups and could be little bit better when paging, adding ram with 32 bit OS won't improve at all. Best you can do to reduce the render times will be to get some render nodes.
