Which one is your favorite, and what makes you love Topre so much? (I’m a newbie)

The irony is this article requires a subscription to view it…

Anything in particular you’re getting stuck on?

I’ve been teaching myself blender for the past several months so I feel your pain

You just gotta push past the frustration til you hit a point where things start feeling comfortable

Tbh once I started understanding more 3d workflow/concepts in general, blender became easier to reason with

Gotcha gotcha, yeah I feel you. I asked chat gpt to estimate it and it said $50 a month! So I thought I’d check with humans

Btw how much power does your server eat up with the dual cpus running? I love the idea of getting one of these, so cheap and so much horsepower, but wondering if it’s going to be painfully expensive to fill up the tank.

Dude TYSM! Appreciate the in-depth response. Lots of good info here.

I double check last night and yes I am indeed currently using eevee. I currently am using an older intel NUC and it struggles, but I love her anyway

Excited to set something new up though

Ahh thank you for sharing, looks like a good set up for me!

Lol gotcha. Good to know about hardware ray tracing, and cpu tips.

I need to learn more about cycles/eevee. I am focusing on web / gltf format so probably don’t need the higher end.

Thanks!

Good to know thanks

Lol I’m sorry I’m useless. I guess I’m in the research phase right now.

I started freelancing three.js apps this year and have hit the point where I need a blender rig. But I’m broke. I need like a “used Honda civic” set up to get me around until I can afford something better.

Good questions! I live in the US, and my budget is I’m broke af. Guess I don’t have a set budget at the moment.

I’ll fight you

TYSM! This is super helpful. Will run with this for a bit and might come back with a question or two :)

I believe in internet piracy

My app was written in one line: yarn run dev.

They say they they wrote it in 10k lines, while twitter was 1M, but are they including all the packages they’re using (assuming that they are)? Like I can say I built a website with 100 lines, but in reality if you compile all the packages I’m using it’s a shit ton more than that.

Just a lazy thought out loud. Idk I’m probably being dumb

This guys fucks

Got it! Yeah I think I will look more into re-topology. Appreciate the insight!
