Long-time Electronics Engineering Technician and Draftsman/CAD-man. Doing 3D rendering for fun to enjoy some limited free time when I can.
I enjoy following a lot of artists here and really appreciate feedback and any suggestions on how to make my renders better!
Self-Built i7 8-core liquid-cooled machine running 64-bit OS
upgraded to a GTX 960 from QUADRO 2000
the $$ I saved by only upgrading to the GTX960 went into RAM : Now running 32G (up from 16G)
UPDATE : FEB 2019 : Purchased 2nd GTX 960 to install and run .. let's see how much more my render times go down :)
UPDATE : MAY 2019 : Here are 2 links to my OLD OLD OLD files I recently found and uploaded : http://starfrontiers.com/HouseRules/ (short story work-in-progress .pdf is in upper left corner) and my original WDC IS BEING ATTACKED files : http://www.starfrontiers.com/Rangers/
UPDATE : JAN 2023 : Purchased a single Nvidia RTX 3060 12G to replace both GTX 960s. GREAT Decision! Single GPU allows me to still use the PC and my RAM is down from 32G (MAX) to 7G while the GPU renders within seconds/minutes. I can also use the iRay Quick View as well and still use the PC.

Thank you for your kind words! I was playing around with iRay settings and materials. That was how I got the results. I have another one that I did not render. Instead of Copper, I used Red epoxy. That is my favorite one. I'll post that one up and have you take a look (when I get home from work)..
