Our latest shipment of component arrived from Jimm's and Samuli gives some hints on building cheap render nodes.

Also, we test out YouTube's new shake reduction, since this was shot on a phone.

  • Ran this trough the new stabilization tool and the video is now the edited version. A lot less shake, but some strange effects that look like Samuli is about to break trough the interdimensional barrier...

    What do you think?

  • Jimssistäkö ostitte?

  • @vanhakaveri Jimm'sistäpä hyvinkin.

  • Any particular reason why you didn't go for anything AMD? 2600K's can't be beaten, but I5's have very competitive mirror cpu's from AMD.

    Also, everyone listen to Samuli. PSU's are extremely important.

  • @DMadAce in our tests intel has been faster for rendering in the current batch of cpus. We do have a bunch of AMD X6s we built earlier.

  • We will figure that out in the next episode! HEHEHEHEHE

  • Kuka oli RAMin valmistaja :P? Corsair?

  • @MercedesBenzE300D Luulen, että näytönohjainta käytetään renderöimisessä enemmän, koska enemmän ytimiä

  • Puhumattakaan CX sarjan Corsairista.......... Kovaa puhut että ei kannata tinkiä virtalähteestä niin sitten ostetaan jotain CX oksennusta. Halvat elkot, heikko 12v linja ja kaiken lisäksi 80 plus sertifikaatti puuttuu. Mitä nyt tällä hetkellä CX500 kustantaa 70€ kun Seasonic valmistajan sisuksilla varustettu XFX Core Edition 550w on sen 59,40€. Kannattaisko ensi kerralla kysyä MuroBBS:stä..

  • Miksi ihmeessä H67 + 2500K. En ymmärrä.. En vittu ymmärrä.. Halvemmalla olisi saanut Gigabyten Z68 lankun jolla olisitte voineet kellottaa noista sandyistä löysät pois suhteellisen nopeasti ja samalla kyky käyttää prosessorin integroitua näytönohjainta... Tällä hetkellä tuo Asucksin P8H67-M lankun hinta 107€ kun sillä välin Gigabyten Z68P-DS3 102€. Äly hoi älä jätä. Ja varsinkin jos teillä kiire on renderöidä niin varsin tyhmää ajaa noita prosessoreita vakiona..

  • The movie was rendered on mofo Windooze? Now i wont watch it :)

  • @energiaproductions It's because the shake adds motion blur to that frames, the software stabilizer track the movemente and fix it, but can do none with that blurred frames...

  • Well, waht d' ya know now?

  • @energiaproductions You guys should buy a tripod, that's what I think XD

  • miten te nyt tarvitsette näin paljon koneita renderöintiin. huhhuh

    onko ne kaikki päällä ja renderöimässä 24/7 ?

  • @DO5TMX I've had something like 12 cheap PSUs blow up on me over the years (I've had a lot of computers..), so yeah, for any real work, don't go cheap on the PSU. Or the motherboard, for that matter (the power regs on the cheap stuff like ASRock aren't exactly reliable, leading to anything from software instability to the magic smoke coming out).
