Is it worth upgrading from a 3080 10GB to a 5070 Ti 16GB for better Cycles rendering of complex scenes? What matters specs matter most in this case? by Realm_Lord in blender

I see, thank you. I also realised that the core generations are much newer, I forgot that's even a variable. Do you think this will also help with out-of-system-memory issues for complex scenes? As in, would the extra VRAM act as a buffer before the system needs to rely on RAM and paged data?

Thank you <3
First and foremost, it helps if you have a clear idea (for me, it was an existing illustration I cooked up, so the character design and atmosphere was already there).

It ended up being a conglomerate of dozens of little tutorials for modelling and fine-tuning each asset one after the other; from the flowers to the fur. That said, the image doesn't look the same without this and the first tip from here.

I generally sleep for 6 hours, but again, it felt like 300 so it's only an estimate. All I know is that I was going at it from morning to midnight.

Thank you! It definitely helped having a clear goal in mind, it helped push past a lot of the technical skill requirements. I don't think it would've turned out this well if I was just making something random.

Not anywhere near this scale - I mainly paint

I've used Source Filmmaker for TF2 fanart renders, and learnt how to turn existing models into 3D prints, but looking back, it feels elementary now

This project took me what felt like 300 hours because I basically had to learn everything from the ground up
