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.

Upgrade Computer for Maya

Hello Everyone!

I have to choose which components to upgrade right now and I have no idea what the most important ones are to increase performance in Maya....

which would you choose?

A. RAM I currently have 1 GB and my computer can hold 4GB
B. Graphics Card, I currently have a 64mb
C. put in another processor

How would you rate these from most important to least important for overall speed?

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say if you are wanting to upgrade because your system is lagging, it might be the graphics card. if it is both a gaming card and only 64 mb, then you might have some issues. if you do upgraded it, make sure you get something certefied to run maya by alias|wavefront.

EDIT: oops! I mean Alias.
