Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi guys!!!

I hope some people remember me

Really sorry to not have left any message of why I was gone.

I've been in college. Working full time for a sheet metal roofing company as an assistant project manager and 2d draftsman (get to use autocad a lot).

Right now I'm in a summer night trig course. I go to work at 7 am, get home after class around 9 pm.

During the spring semester I was overwhelmed with full time school schedule, now I work full time and the class it's even tougher.

I am sad to say I have not used Indigo in some time I have a number of projects ready to go I just need to devote some time to relearning a lot that I forgot. I also see that v8 is out!!!! I remember when I couldn't participate as much v7 was just sent out with SSS I was super hyped!

Anyways I hope to recontribute real soon and hopefully be of some use to you guys again (if I ever was before).

Other than that, I turned 19 in May 11, got my drivers license last Wednesday, got my grades back and have a 4.0 gpa, finally got some money so when I buy a car (gotta buy one in a couple weeks) I will upgrade my computer.

So if anyone would please (please!!!) can you guys give some suggestions on good comp stuff at that sweet spot price range. I have a pretty good idea of what to look for but I would like it to be great with 3D (solidworks, autocad, blender, indigo, photoshop, flight simulator). So if you know of something or websites where you got your stuff please let me know!!

I hope to see you all around in the very near future (figuratively speaking of course)!

So there is someone younger than me hanging around, eh? (I just turned 22 myself)

For your computer needs, give me a budget, and would you rather build it yourself, or get it through an OEM?

Just so you know, you can put together a GREAT box for $500 now. Seriously.

Hell, you can get a capable laptop for close to that.

But you're wrong, you're actually 33 and I am 73 and a half not 13. Its all a government conspiracy I TELL YOU! Even though you are probably in a different country with a different government than me.

Good to see you back. I also left for a while (work) and came back to a dizzying array of new features, so I know how you feel. Did you see that Radiance is stepping down?
