Ok...I have feared that...I will try your approach Thank you very much!

Hi, I have a scene with moving camera and moving objects. That's why I decided to use the irradiance prepass method. So I rendered the prepass and used the vrmaps in animation mode. Everything worked fine. Now I want to render the exact same scene again using again the vrmaps from the first prepass but now the gi is rendered incorrect. there are only very little GI information, most parts don't have any GI on it. But I'm using the same prepass maps as before....does anybody know why this happens? thank you

Thank you very much! I think i'll go with that!

Thank you! Okay I will definately change to the ASRock H61M-DGS! But the rest will be fine in your opinion? One last thing: is the 3770"K" Version worth the 40€ compaired to the 3770?

Thank you very much for your reply! I think I will buy from mindfactory.de here is a konfiguration which includes the cheapest modules in each category: Intel Core i7 3770K 4x 3.50GHz So.1155 BOX - 294,85€ ASRock H61M-S Intel H61 So.1155 Dual - 37,75€ 16GB Corsair ValueSelect DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM - 57,49€ 400 Watt Cougar A-Series Non-Modular 80+ - 45,84€ Rasurbo Basic & Case BC-10 Midi Tower ohne - 20,3€ 64GB Samsung 830 Series 2.5" (6.4cm) SATA - 63,55€ ---------- 519,81€ Changing i7 to i5 --> 423,72€ I was looking for th cheapest solution but if the quality is not good enough I would also change to a more expensive option! Housing in a case would be the cheapest and easiest option I think?! I will mainly render in Vray. The budget is for Hardware only, the OS will come on top. Will overclocking make sense for me? I never did, so are there any dangers? Thank you very much for helping me out!

Hi, I need some help in building some render nodes. Sadly I am not really up to date, my last system is about 4 years old.... I have a budges of 1500€ (~2000$) and want to get as much renderpower as possible. After some research the i7 3770 seems to have the best price-performance relation. So which other components are cheap and effective? I found some really cheap mainboards for about 40€ (50$). Do they work properly? Do SSDs make sense for render-nodes? It would be cool to get about 2 or 3 nodes for the budget. Any help would be great its really hard for me to get into all the stuff by myself... Cheers, Ron
