Looks great! You've developed a lot of skill in just 8 months, and you have a good eye which helps. One thing to keep in mind is topology, and getting the edges to flow with the shape of the model in a way that optimizes polys and UV mapping. Like your Walker Robot (really cool design), the...

@gunpalcyril oh and speaking for myself casual projects is where I most want to be a perfectionist - it's there that I have the time and flexibility to develop my ideas and get nitty gritty. Client work is where you need to be locked down, hitting deliverables and deadlines. It's a balance...

@gunpalcyril sounds like you have a passion for it, which probably the most important part. Do you have a site or anywhere I can check out your work?

Nice! Some of it depends on what field you're trying to break into, whether it's VFX, games, print, commercial, etc. Regardless, getting a site up with your portfolio & reel is step #1 if you haven't done that already. You could also put together an Instagram and try to build up a following...

Just cancelled and redordered with 1070ti's! That worked out great, good catch.

Awesome, hadn't seen that before thanks. Delidding freaks me out a bit though. I saw that and picked up 2x 1080 FE's!! Thanks for keeping an eye out. Seems like they're getting rid of old cards to make way for the new one later this year. Yeah I had tunnel vision with the 1080's and didn't...

Thanks for the feedback. What do you think about the Noctua NH-C14S?

I'm considering going with the NH-C14S now. How do you think that will handle an overclocked i7-8700? Are there any other coolers on the market that could do a better job?

Thanks for explaining that Correct, wasn't sure how to draw that up but I have a better idea now Just poked through your Cerberus build thread - looks great! You have a pretty robust water cooling setup, would you recommend something bigger than a single 120mm radiator for my build?

Good to know! I use Cinema 4D w/ OctaneRender, and occasionally Mudbox.

Dual 1080ti for $1400, sign me up! I'm trying to keep a good lookout but I feel like I always just miss those deals. If I don't go with FEs then that brings the price of video cards down to around $1100. I'll probably go with a single non-blower, get a feel for it, then upgrade down the line

Good call. One of my goals was to future-proof this rig and go as big as I could on the components, and I may still decide to overclock down the line. Just worried about the temps though. The 8700 doesn't seem like a huge step down from the 8700k afterall. Well I feel stupid, I didn't even...

Here's my latest revision of the build. Again, this is meant to be a high-end, portable, 3D modeling/GPU rendering rig: CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor ($339.79 @ SuperBiiz) No plans to overclock CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler ($97.89 @ SuperBiiz From what...

Yep, I'm looking at the NZXT m22 now. Seems like it would fit nicely. I'm a little worried about about traveling (car/plane) with liquid cooling though. So you would suggest going with 15mm fans on the bottom? I'm also considering NZXT g12 kits, but worried about the available space. Do you...

Didn't realize the Noctua I originally listed wouldn't fit. The NH-C14S looks like it would work great though from what I can tell. I considered going with liquid cooling because of this guys Cerberus SLI build post. The 120mm radiator seems to allow for more air flow? Again going off that...
