I'm a student of interior design, and I constantly use 3d max. So, my question is: would this machine handle 3d renderring easily?

I write novels, play World of Warcraft and frequently use Adobe photoshop...with 16GB of system RAM and a 3GB video card, I'd definitely say "yes" to your question.

Yes I believe so. I use it for extreme gaming with no issues. You can also search the web for processor comparisons and performance. I chose this PC because it has good processor performance and price point. see: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html

I think the 2D to 3D conversion is a big selling point as well as the $500 you mention. I went with the GT25 myself. Great picture.

this graphics card is good for entry level, but if you want to use it for Mari program for texturing, then it might not be able to do it. Check Mari's system requirements before buying it. I'm pretty sure the mid range quadro k2000??? ($400 +/-) can do 2K or 4K texturing. Also if you use Cityengine, I think the K2000 is better because it can handle thousands of polys for Cityengine. http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/mari/system-requirements/http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-desktop-gpus.htmlImportant: The quadro cards are for 3D visual effects, CAD, or fluid dynanmic simulations; they're not for gaming. For gaming, pick the GeForce cards. this graphics card is good for entry level, but if you want to use it for Mari program for texturing, then it might not be able to do it.

Irving, While this system can handle tasks such as rendering, you will need to look at the system requirements of the specific programs you plan to run, to determine whether or not the Hellion is suited for them. You may want to look at our "Blueprint" series systems, here on Amazon, as well. They were designed with designers in mind. A quick search for "CybertronPC Blueprint" will get you a list of them.

Sorry, I didn't have time to test it this week, still no answer. But I am pretty sure it supports 3D, I can test it this week if you still need it.

I actually dont use it very much for all of those program, my brother uses it for those purposes and tells me it is great. I mostly use it for gaming that involves 3d animations and such. Overall it is great and also looks sleek

I run Revit and AutoCAD MEP CAD software on it with no issues. So far I am happy with the machine.

Yes, but it will take some time. For about 10 minutes 720p video it takes me about one hour to render.

If you're going to spend this much money to get a great printer just pony up and get Simplify 3D for your software. Shareware is great but this package excels on ease, higher levels of accuracy and controllability. As far as your computer you can run anything to control your printer or use the SD slot. Simplify 3D had memory errors when I used a lower end processor, this was may upgrades ago. I upgraded my notebook and had zero issues with slicing or controlling the M2 printer but I think anything you get today in a computer will be able to run it.

I would assume you can being that I do heavy Photoshop n Lightroom programs .. I haven't run my Cabnetware cad on it but this is a really great monster of a notebook being 64 and Win7 instead of 8 ..

I want to use this machine for design with adobe products, So it this work fast enough for this programs?, Is better than a mac? (im new in this sorry for my lack of knwoledge)

It is an excellent desktop replacement laptop for its price. It has plenty of processing power and better than usual sound so it is good for games that do not push the video too hard. Unfortunately it uses the CPU chipset video (an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600) which is very good as far as imbedded 3D video goes but I am not sure it is up to the cutting edge 3D performance needed by some of the newer high-end games. I do not think it has a slot to install a third party card but I could be wrong about that.

I think so, since it is not an integrated graphic card. However it will not be as easy as switching a desktop graphic card. On the other hand I think for a laptop workstation, the graphic card as a professional graphic card, is already pretty good for CAD and 3D Modelling. I use Maya, Rhino and AutoCad everyday, and I find the graphic card to be decent. On the other hand l, if what you look for is a gaming/multimedia graphic card, you could get a better gaming laptop at a lower price, instead of this workstation.

Haven't done much but very smooth and fast. Wife is graphic designer and she cannot bog it down with anything. Photoshop, illustrator, etc. which are big programs using high GPU, and she says it's faster then her high end Apple rig at work. (Don't have her work specs though, but is very new)

Yes the machine is capable of doing all you can draw in the computer. It deals with images treated specifically to be carved. So you can design anything and it will carve them and a way like a dot matrix printer. I used only one type of bits for wood and did many projects some of them calligraphy. the result was always more than expected. In the other hand, it remains very slow, noisy and excel as a hobby only.

I use it for both things! 3D Modelling/Rendering and also Gaming. Let me tell you it works like a charm in both scenarios. Runs any game at maxed settings without breaking a sweat. Also, really really silent while doing so.
