Answer:
So you’re going to build or buy a machine to animate with – great! The only problem is that animation involves creating and manipulating complex 2D and 3D imagery, which puts most computers under enough pressure to make them want to kick the bucket.
We’ve talked before about what you need to get started with animation from a software perspective, well this week we’ll let you know what sort of hardware system requirements you need to be meeting before you buy your very first animating computer.
What does a good animating computer need?
Processor (CPU)
This is the most important part for your machine. Rendering your finished project is always going to be the task that makes your computer sweat the most. During this task, it’s your processor that’ll be doing the legwork.
You want a powerful and efficient CPU to cope with the intensive rendering in a reasonable amount of time. A decent CPU will turn your renders from day-long slogs into a matter of hours.
Ideally a quad core that operates at 2Ghz at the very least. One that is capable of running a 64-bit operating system too.
Graphics card (GPU)
A capable GPU is vital, especially if you have your heart set on 3D. A good GPU will enable your machine to perform modeling, mapping, and animation work in 3D spaces smoothly and with more stability.
Make sure to check which brand your chosen software prefers, often incompatibilities will lead to crashes and disabled features.
Go dedicated rather than integrated (this basically means you’ll have enough power). You want your GPU to have at least 2GB of RAM, too.
Memory (RAM)
Having more RAM in your system allows the computer to store information on what is currently being worked on. Essentially, it allows you to perform multiple tasks at once and assist with processor performance, speeding up your workflow.
There are plenty of brands to choose from, but for a for a reliable and affordable option, Kingston is a safe bet. You want a minimum of 8GB really. 16GB will do you nicely.
Storage/Hard Drive (HDD or SSD)
This is where you’ll be storing your projects and other files. As with most of the items I’ve listed here, more is definitely better.
At least 1TB of storage is a must. That sounds like a lot if you’ve never animated before, but high quality projects complete with audio are pretty chunky files. If you have any less storage you’ll find yourself running out of space quicker than you think!
So what do I need for my chosen software?
If you want to know what the system requirements are for your animation tool of choice – look no further. Here are some of the industry-standard and most widely-used animation programs alongside the recommended specs straight from the developers themselves.
