3D Animator needs help with Comp Build..

Vmonk85 · 05-08-2008, 05:01 AM

Hey guys Im a 3D animator I need to be able to run Maya, Zbrush, and Photoshop all at the same time with little to no stuttering. I also need the fastest phsyical render times possible on a quad core haha.. I understand a little bit about building comps, but Im not very technical in what exact parts will preform the best together.. so if you could list the things I should get would be greatly appreciated. My budget is anywhere from $1200-$1600 US.. I would also like to fit a monitor in there if possible, I would like to be running the new second monitor for dual monitors to have Zbrush on one Maya on other etc. Alright guys Thanks so much! I would like to purchase this in the next 2 weeks or so, so as soon as physically possible to know what to get would be awesome.

I am starting to research to do the same thing. I run Archicad, Maya, Photoshop and Maxwell.
Has any other DCC artists built a workstation?
