Test render from a very simple blender animation i am working on as early blender learning project.
Feel free to use as you please. Textures courtesy NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

Hey thanks for your reply, are you saying memory training is only related to overclocking?
As no, i dont intend to overlock the machine. I dont know much about PC building and had seen some videos with people talking about memory training, i just assumed it was a part of the build/boot process for all machines.
I guess my question really is then, does having a very large amount of RAM have a negative effect on boot times, and is there any variation in that depending on the type of boot, cold/soft etc.
Total that got cut of there was £3,309. Which to be fair given what it allows me to do now will mean it should pay for itself within a couple of years worst case.
Hey all, thanks for all your replies to my previous post about the beefy machine for test renders, i am delighted to say i have gone ahead and ordered the machine after switching the gpu to a 4080 super, and getting a slighty better power supply.
I have also decided to go ahead and double the RAM to 192GB while they are still builing it. But i am getting concerned about cold boots and memory training.
How often does memory training happen? Is it every cold boot? Every manual reset?
The machine will be crashing alot, its just the nature of pushing them hard, and i dont want to be stuck waiting with that horrible feeling of if it will ever even boot at all, the next time i push the render quality a little too high in 3DSMax.
Would greatly appreciate some feedback on this from someone with experience of machines that have alot of RAM.
So, my budget is 3KGBP, my use case is i do 3d modelling work (have done for 25years now), and would like a better machine that i can do (light) GPU render tests on. It will likely also do short (few days) runs of CPU rendering too.
Naturally, no amount of horsepower or RAM is ever really enough for 3D rendering, but this is the best config i could come up with within my budget.
As far as gaming goes, since i only turned to that recently (more and more as i get older it looks like), i only own 3 games: KSP2, Cities Skylines II, and X4 Foundations (so far), but its not a primary concern for this machine, just a nice-to-have.
Now i know, i am about to be told i sould go with AMD, perhaps the 7900 X3D?
Main reason im going with intel is i sometimes use older windows software, which i have had issues with AMD (mostly very niche 3DSMax Plugin stuff), but that was some time ago now, but i am very fearful of that.
I wont be overclocking it, as i need it to be stable, and will likely be doubling that 96GB of RAM in a couple of months, and no, it still wont be enough :(
I would be greatful for any advice, especially on the AMD side of things.
A pleasure, be sure to check the artist gallery link, they have a bunch of works there with similar levels of detail.
Oh yeah! Well spotted, gonna have to look this over a third time now to see what else i missed.
Edit: So now ive noticed the Etch-a-sketch, and theres also a telly tubby on one of the screens.
Sure thing, you can edit the titles as much as you need to make them fit or what not since the source will be included anyway.
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
Na i double checked, its done with 3d software and photoshop.
So, it looks like the blood (tomato juice) was meant for the actress about to be chainsawed by the clown, but it ended up on the exec instead.

Yeah its called chromatic abberation, and its a cool way to give an image that made with a camera feeling.
If karma is added here i feel i would have to abandon Lemmy, ive been (arguably) doing a good thing promoting artists over on Digital Art, ive already been accused of being a bot, which is fine, last thing i need is for people to assume im only doing it for karma too.
You know, i kinda wish i had a bot to choose the art, find the artists real name, and do the markup text for the description, since those are all a pain to do. Sadly though, its just me doing all the posts manually.
The community is new, and the posting requirements are pretty strict, so its mostly just me (who made this place) posting, hopefully as time goes on there will be more interaction from the community, but until then we can all just enjoy the art.
Thats alot of work, good job!
