Both 3D Studio Max and Lightwave run like a dream with this setup.
This system upgrade was funded in part by a generous grant with the assistance of the Midland College Business & Economic Development Center.
Here’s the view of my current desktop space.
Another stock model, this time a medicine bottle. Inspired by all the pill bottles I had left after my recent upper respiratory infection, I think that this one turned out rather well. With the materials I came up with, both Max and Lightwave produce superlative renders, as you can see here.

I’ve finished my latest modeling project and uploaded to TurboSquid. I was able to get the metal texture to match across three rendering engines—not exact but close enough to get the effect I wanted.
YouTube has a new experimental feature for displaying stereo 3d. I hauled out the Bee stereo turntable animation and cleaned it up for the two-channel stereo formatting. If you’d like more information about the stereo process, I used this somewhat-helpful thread as a guide when preparing the file.
Being able to produce the file once and use multiple 3d options is a huge plus, especially when over-compression can so easily destroy red/blue stereo. With this method, it doesn’t matter if you have
red/blue, red/cyan, or red/green. Or maybe you prefer looking at it cross-eyed. It all works, using the same source data.

Processing recently reached version 1.0, so I've been playing around with it again.

A new model, which took about four hours off and on, including the interruptions and not counting the renders. 1080p renders take a while on this machine.
