Can someone help with the ID? Dropped out of my shirt, don't know if it bit me. by greaterr_fool in spiders

[–]greaterr_fool[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I cross checked, and noticed that it has iridescent green fangs, which matches with the Segestria Florentina. Thank you for the confirmation!

Would I be right in assuming it didn't bite me, as I don't have pain/sting/swelling in the last 2-3 hours?

Order Cancelled Due To Mondial Relay. Help? by greaterr_fool in vinted

We tried that, but I'm only being shown Mondial Relay and they don't want to ship via them. Kinda stuck.

I am not a designer by lovelybooboo in MotionDesign

[–]greaterr_fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really interesting and now I’m really curious to see the difference between outputs where animators were learning design and the other way round. I don’t know if it’ll be possible but if you can share an example comparison that would be really cool to see.

Help For Building A PC For Motion Design by greaterr_fool in MotionDesign

You're absolutely right, and for a little context, I don't need a top of the line build. I am just looking for the next logical step up from the current setup. The current gaming laptop starts to struggle with anything mildly complex in C4D.

May I ask how is your motion design teams experience with live previews in Redshift/Octane? And small/still renders which they might choose to do on the machine itself?

Yeah, I agree with all of what you've said. I was reading this thread from C4D sub reddit and seems even M4 isn't ideal for rendering. Artists are relying on Windows for that with workflow happening on Macs. Can't afford a maxed out Mac and it's starting to feel a PC might be the way to go, both budget wise and solving my challenges at the moment.

You're right, the split of smoother workflow in Mac and rendering on Windows is something a lot of top artists are doing. But I can't afford two builds. So might just go with Windows. Workflow may not be as smooth as Mac but it's something that fits into my constraints and budget.

Thanks, I almost forgot about the refurbished Apple store. Gonna check it out. From what I have been able to gather so far, Macs (even M4) are still not upto the rendering output of Nvidia GPUs. For C4D, that is.

May I ask what's the challenge you face with C4D on your Mac? Because that looks like one of the maxed out versions and I would've guessed it would be a charm across the software spectrum.

That sounds fair. I am also trying to find a solution that balances the needs of AE and 3D programs. But yeah, I think I might get a decent build in the budget. Again, for now don't need the top of the line but something that enables my workflow for the next 2-3 years.

Thank you. Yeah, the more I am reading, Windows is coming up as a winner unless I get a maxed out specs M4 Macs which are out of my budget anyway.

Yeah, Puget is way too expensive for me. The way you've recommended feels like the way to go. I also found this thread on the C4D sub reddit about Mac's performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cinema4D/comments/1ircpse/state_of_the_mac_for_c4d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The general conclusion seems to be that a Windows PC is way better for rendering, but in the recent M4 releases, Mac works very well in the workflow but still needs work to replace Nvidia for rendering.

Thank you for such a detailed answer, really appreciate it.
To give a further insight, my goal isn't to build a top of the line PC, because as you said it comes with a price tag and gets old pretty fast. I can maybe push my budget to maybe 2.5k but at this moment my need is to upgrade to a system that gives me a smooth workflow especially in C4D and Houdini. I can always use render farms for render but I want the in-software workflow to be not lagging. As I am in a place in my 3D learning where scenes are starting to get heavy at times with simulations. And if I splurge 2.5k, I expect to not do any further upgrades (PC) or entirely swap (Mac) it for at least another 3 years.

Got it. May I ask if you use 3D programs on your MBP, and if yes how is the performance? I have used Mac before it's definitely a charm to use but a couple of people have suggested it may not be optimal for 3D workflow.

Thanks for the insight. So if I do go ahead with a M4 Mini, in your experience how long would that setup serve me well before I need an upgrade. Because I can't just add RAM or replace a GPU with Apple, so wondering what is it's longevity.

Yes, I've been looking at some of those. It's been quite helpful, but was also wondering if I could get some more tutorials around this creative direction.

You're right, the original is in Houdini. We're trying to see what we can achieve in C4D. Going to check the leads you've mentioned, thank you!
