My CEO suggested that we get a dedicated machine just for rendering. Our IT guy asked me to post a query on recommendations for machine, configuration, etc. He is not a graphics person, so he knows nothing about the "special" requirements for doing 3D rendering and any special considerations for either Bryce and Poser. I was thinking PC with 2 fast processors, 2 gigs of memory, and super fast video card. But he is talking about the possibility of a machine that supports 4 processors (or more) and 4 gigs or more of memory. He even mentioned a RISC processor (of course our CEO may not have been thinking about being that extravagant). Any suggestions (bearing in mind that either or both Poser and Bryce need to be able to take advantage of beefed up processing and memory). I have no idea what limits there are, if any, on Poser and Bryce (and Vue4 for that matter). And I do know that Poser does not support network rendering (only via Vue4).
