I Made A Boat!

(For some reason it is showing up very dark, it is a lot lighter in .PSD... maybe it's just my monitor making the whole image darker.)

Software:
3Ds Max 5.1
Photoshop 7.0

The water looks cool, i like the boat as well :rock:

how much ram do u need to run 3ds max decently?...

 

[Nastyman!]

It says 512MB minimum and 1GB recommened, but I run it with 384MB of DDR completely fine. I also run it at my work on 256MB of SDRAM fine, but the graphics card I have on my home machine is a Nvidia GeForce4 ti4400 128MB and it helps a lot. The one I have at work is a shitty ass Intel motherboard built on grahics card with 64MB of ram.


(You can run 3Ds on a very shitty machine if you turn off everything in the viewports and only deal with the bounding boxes of objecs... but that would make it a pain in the dick to work with.)

oh ok, sounds good, so the vid card plays a major role, cool, thanks a lot man

There is also GMAX made by Discreet as well that is completely free if you can't afford 3Ds Max itself and would like to dabble in 3D design.

I've been using...well I used it for about a month like a year ago lol, GMAX to mess around with the flight simulator planes and quake characters...

Re: I Made A Boat!

RAM is one of the major factors when it comes to 3D applications but I would have to say that the biggest and most important factor is the processor. Them there megahertz are need for executing the complex code behind such programs.
