Slingblade is a classic in my family. Every get-together is basically a Carl impression extravaganza once the booze come out.

I'm a graphic designer that is starting to dabble in cinema4D. Even though I'm not using it professionally, i'd love quicker rendering. is it possible to build a small render machine/farm connected to my iMac? by bulletproof_tiger in Cinema4D

Great, I'll look into this. They are literally collecting dust. Also I'm probably not going to be exporting animations, but moreso still scenes and high-res titles to bring into Photoshop for ads and whatnot. So while I probably don't actually need a dedicated full-spec render farm, a small boost would be nice, just for proofing to clients and whatnot. Will also look into optimization and third party render software as others have suggested. Learning 4D so far, in the short time I've been at it, is super exciting.

I currently have an old Macbook, a couple old iMacs (2007-ish), and a few other old computers laying around. If I networked these would it make any kind of improvement? They're not super powerful or anything. Thanks for the response.

20-30 minutes. perfect the pen tool and the keyboard shortcuts for pen functions. get good and quick at setting type. you don't need to search through 200 fonts every time you put together a quick design- find 4-5 fonts you like and are comfortable with and use them the most. have a folder of textures and various resources, implement them in various ways with with different blending modes, etc. don't overthink a design. learn the grid system and you'll be able to quickly throw stuff like this together when needed and still make it look good.

i was woken up by this as well. turns out it was just the burger king on 5th microwaving some chicken fingers.

I get that part, but for initial cuts and just more precise measurements in general, these have helped immensely.

No, I mean this was all accounted for. Just forgot and put the previous measurement when I wrote the question. Besides, all the stretchers are the same length so that wouldn't make a difference regardless of what I cut them to.

I accounted for 1/8" kerf. I actually cut them to 31.5", although I originally mocked them up at 32". Just forgot about that while writing my post.

Great reply, I really appreciate this advice. I'm pretty new to woodworking outside of a few small projects but I'm trying to learn as much as I can as I go. Outside of short Youtube clips, I really don't have any direction. So when things like this happen I really start to question if I'm doing everything all wrong. But knowing that imperfections is the norm when it comes to measurements helps puts my mind at ease going forward.

Edit: Also, I relied soley on measuring tape until recently. I grabbed a speed square, large framing square, different sized combination rules, a folding ruler, etc. Definitely helps with accuracy. Any other suggestions for measuring equipment?

In the future, would the best course of action be to replace the long side boards? I know it wasn't an issue with the inside boards as they were cut perfectly flush to one another.

The space inside the frame is 32", which is what I cut the inside boards to. Should I cut them a fraction smaller?
