PC for Professional 3D Work - New Build or upgrade?
Hello, I'm currently on the search for a new build for my 3D work. I work a lot with blender, substance painter and unreal engine. My scenes get quite detailed really quickly, and my macbook cant handle a lot of the things anymore lol. I maily work with very organic and detailed sculpting, lots of subsurface scattering and 4k textures and realism and details in blender. for video/animations I mainly use ue5 for the faster rendering times.
