Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Here's my problem. I have made this pretty cool animation but it's taking forever to render. I'm hopeing to buy a cheep (ish) pc just for rendering but im not sure what's the most important thing to speed up render times. RAM, processor, graphics card.

Any help would be great user added image

I might be wrong, but I don't think the type of graphics card you have will affect your rendering times much, I think its just pure processing power that will afffect it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

You're right lisa. Networked multiprocessor systems with tons of ram, speedy hard drives and network. That's what makes the renderer happy user added image
