I just realized I've been at my computer since 10pm dicking around in Cinema 4d. I've made very little, if any progress on completing a project, but holy damn this program is so much fun. I'm amazed that i'm not asleep or frustrated to the point of smashing my computer to pieces.

Anyone else enjoy c4d?

Making things is fun. Rendering them isn't...

such a bitch! I tried to overclock my CPU to speed things up, but it ran my CPU to about 85ºC under full load :(

Completely agree, in terms of funness of use, C4D kicks the shit out of Maya and Max. And once you start using Bodypaint, you can't go back.

What are you modelling?

i wish i had more time to mess with c4d because i sorta like it, but i sorta don't. i can kinda make stuff but i need more time for tinkering to get my skillz up some. and yes, rendering is always a bitch and i always have quite the time getting things in after effects and such

Looks pretty cool, though it doens't really seem to serve a purpose. Guess it's not for me then. That, and my MBP would explode form just running that program...

How's you Hackintosh holding up?

It's doing pretty well, all things considered. Handles the program pretty well, although I've never used it on someone else's machine so I don't know how to compare it.

My GPU needs a replacement though, with a 2560x1440 monitor, it runs 50-60ºC average, and easily shoots up to 75+ when I simply open minecraft. I just installed 2 more case fans to get a bit more air at it and flowing in the case, so hopefully things will settle down a bit (not likely though, I have a fan blowing cool outside air from my window directly at the fan mounted right at the GPU, with a desk fan blowing through the other opening on my case too)

My CPU temps top out around 60ºC when I render something wicked intense. Idles about 40.
