QUOTE(eeoyr @ Jul 5 2010, 05:31 PM) Thanks for sharing your toshiba experience cause apparently i'm being accused as the laptop spoiler  (that is why i am being a bit paranoid on getting a reliable laptop  ) are you using parallels, vmware or bootcamp? the only hesitation on me from getting a mbp is the autoCAD part. cause it will be quite troublesome to have to switch back and forth when i'm working on 3D and ammending the plans (maybe it only applies to 3dsmax cause its one hecka polyline crazee  ) the guy from the mac store suggests that i use bootcamp(for the workload) instead of parallels or vmware. btw i tried downloading the mac version of autoCAD but too bad it keeps on crashing so can't really tell how is it. wonder when is it gonna get released... yeah i doubt its out yet. and do use bootcamp, cos using parallels or vmware fusion is not appropriate. mayb for autocad ok la, but 3ds max, you're gonna take ages to render or mayb to even rotate the model. cos its just a laptop. |

QUOTE(b48753 @ Jul 13 2010, 06:23 PM) But I still wonder why using 3DMax, while on the market there's plenty of better software out there what other software do you use bro? well i use 3ds max bcos combined with vray, i think it produces the best results. well thats imho anyway. i tried a few others but the results are just not as crisp as i want. so decided to stick with 3ds max. cant really show my works cos its under company's right. will try and dig up some old renders.  |

most of the furnitures and materials are custom made. this is done with the mbp with the 9600m GC. hence it took awhile to finish this render on such high reso.

QUOTE(b48753 @ Jul 23 2010, 11:20 AM) llsphinxll, SInce the Autocad will be available for Mac then maybe 3DS Max will follow then..so not much taxation on your MBP. yeah but not sure when only will the conversion be complete. den the 'control' and 'command' key confusion will b overrr!   |

actually building the model is not the difficult part. complicated models can b done in about an hour, but altering the materials and lighting is the one that kills time. oh and rendering.

QUOTE(b48753 @ Jul 29 2010, 12:41 PM) Working with firms..but my office colleague using Sketchup..so totally different from my practice..  im actually a student. i learnt the most when i was interning. i sat next to the 3ds max sifu and completed the whole project on my own with the sifu directing me how. that way is the most effective way to learn. well you can always model at sketch up and import it into 3ds max to render i think.  QUOTE(-|JuStIn|- @ Jul 29 2010, 03:06 PM) Just wondering. kinda a noobie question but still better be safe than sorry. haha. when using bootcamp to install windows on the mac i can use any windows CD right? as in is there a special "windows for mac" version or is it just the normal "windows 7 home edition" that u can pick up at the store that we normally install on our PCs?  hahhha. 'those' CDs ah. i think shud b able to. |

i think running the 3ds max wont b that much of a problem, its just the rendering. rendering really needs a good processor and a decent gc. on my i5 mbp, it also takes quite awhile to render a good decent shot. |
