Cinebench R15 Scores (Updated Results)

Last updated on October 22nd, 2018, 15 comments

Cinebench Scores are a great way to get an impression of how fast a CPU is in different types of workloads.

No matter if you are planning on building a Computer for 3D Rendering, Gaming, Streaming or would just like to see how different CPUs compare to each other, a clean Cinebench Scores list of the most current CPUs, frequently updated & neatly sorteable, should put a smile on anyone’s face.

As the Cinebench Benchmark tests the Multi-Core Performance as well as the Performance of a single core (usually under Turbo-Boost), it is a great Benchmark for finding the best Processors for your needs.

That could be heavily Multi-Core optimized workloads, such as Rendering, or heavily Single-Core restricted workloads, such as Viewport-Updating as in Cinema 4D or (still) Gaming.

So without further ado here it is, the Cinebench Scores List:

Best CPU & GPU Render Benchmarks

Last updated on October 26th, 2018, 11 comments

There are many GPU and CPU Benchmarks out there.

CPU Render Benchmarks, GPU Render Benchmarks, Benchmarks for Gaming, Storage or Bandwidth are just some of them and benching your System can be quite addicting.

Especially in the World of building a Workstation for 3D, VFX and Animation, putting your CPU, GPU, and other components through a series of tests and comparing them to the performance of other Systems and configurations is so much fun, that sometimes you upgrade, tune or overclock your System, just to see those numbers rise.

Most importantly though, the benchmark should be able to simulate a real-world work environment, because this is what it’s all about: Figuring out what Hardware Components will get you the maximum speed for the type of work you do.Continue Reading

Best CPU For Rendering (Updated)

Last updated on November 8th, 2018, 102 comments

Have you ever wondered what Processor (CPU) is best for rendering?

Finding the best CPU For Rendering, that is also as cheap as possible, is something you will want to do before building a new Computer for 3D Rendering, Workstation for After Effects, a dedicated Rendernode, a Renderfarm or even a Laptop for Animation.

3ds max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Blender and many other 3D Software packages have in-built and 3rd-party CPU Render Engines that all rely on maximum CPU multi Core Performance.

Since there are so many different CPU types with different clock-speeds, core-counts, hyperthreading and brand, it can be difficult to select the right platform to go with.

AMD Ryzen, Threadripper, Intel i5, i7, i9, XEON, Pentium, some with lots of Cores and others with high Core-Clocks.

In the end it all comes down to raw CPU Rendering performance, that I will be measuring with Cinebench R15, the currently leading Benchmarking Software for CPU Rendering Performance.

Of course there are lots of lists online to check cinebench points, but what is most important is how well the Performance / Dollar ($) ratio is.

This is why I have created a Performance/Dollar ($) Table for you to sort to your liking.

This will show you the best Rendering CPU for the Money:Continue Reading

CINEMA 4D – Fix Missing Textures

Last updated on October 22nd, 2018,

Often times you are moving Cinema 4D projects around. This can be between different Hard-Drives or from PC to MAC, or you are working on projects with a Team and keep moving your c4d Files back and forth.Continue Reading

10 best Cinema 4D Textures Resources

Last updated on October 22nd, 2018,

If you are looking for Cinema 4D Textures to use in your C4D Materials, look no more. Here is a comprehensive List of the 10 best Cinema 4D Textures Resources.

It does not really matter what 3D Software you are using, be it Cinema 4D, 3DsMax, Maya, Blender or any of the many 3D Softwares out there.

Textures work very similar in all of these Programs and can be used universally.Continue Reading

Building the best Cinema 4D Workstation Computer (Updated)

Last updated on November 9th, 2018, 122 comments

It’s always fun to research new hardware components to make your new Workstation or Computer work as fast as possible in your desired Programs without having to spend an arm and a leg.

Making sure your hardware is not slowing you down when spending valuable time on the Computer is of utmost importance.

This is why I have put together this Guide to building the best bang-for-the-buck Cinema 4D PC and Workstation.

This Guide also works great for a Best Blender PC or Best 3ds Max PC, Maya, XSI, you name it.

All of these 3D Animation Software Packages tend to work very similarly! But I will focus on Cinema 4D in this Article.Continue Reading
