hey, like the title says, im trying to build an absolute rocket of a zbrush system. Right now I can hardly get to 25 mill polies without crashing or serious lagging.
Does anyone have any advice over specs? looking for both high and lowbudget ideas.
Thanks!
25 million on one tool? or combined subtools?
If you can get to 25million on a single tool that is damned good.
I say throw as much ram as you can… i7 mother boards usually have 6 slots of DDR3 ram… with the 8 GB I have I can go up to 12 mil polies [according to the default mem settings of ZBrush]
so ya more polies = more ram and faster interaction/subdeviding = faster CPU
My recommendation is to wait for ZBrush 4’s system specs before you start building a machine that’s dedicated for the app.

And just when might we hear of such specs? 
At launch. Z4 is being released next month.
