Chris Adkins Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I am sure that I am alone in this, but my request would be to see an editor that works on lower-end machines. I have been using Leadwerks as much as I can since I recieved it in Christmas, but sadly due to the state of my computer I am unable to properly use the editor to make custom graphics for use. As you can imagine this somewhat limits the creative juices. Believe me, if getting a newer better computer was an option it would have been done a long time ago. I am not sure what else I can do except make this request. Also if Werkspace had a forum for people to use to find teams, or groups to work with on projects, that would be awesome. A way for people interested more in graphics to get together with people more interested in programming, find others interested in the same things and work cooperatively on projects. Just an after thought! Quote
AggrorJorn Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I don't think that is such a weird suggestions. I believe that there was a blog about this Quote
Canardia Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Why do you need a new computer, you can just buy a SM4 capable graphics card for 8€. Look on 2nd hand web sites, like: http://cgi.ebay.com/Nvidia-GeForce-8600-GT-512MB-PCI-E-XFX-Video-Great-deal_W0QQitemZ260543668049QQcategoryZ3762QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D10%26ps%3D63 Quote ■ Ryzen 9 ■ RX 6800M ■ 16GB ■ XF8 ■ Windows 11 ■ ■ Ultra ■ LE 2.5 ■ 3DWS 5.6 ■ Reaper ■ C/C++ ■ C# ■ Fortran 2008 ■ Story ■ ■ Homepage: https://canardia.com ■
Josh Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I agree 100% on the social groups feature, and have requested it from Invision. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
Chris Adkins Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 Thought about that, but I can't find where to plug that thing into my laptop . Good suggestion though. I might have to check on stealing an old laptop from my work, and slowly upgrading it. Hypothetically, if I can run Visual Studio Developers Team Suite Edition 2008, and I upgrade the graphics cards as suggested, should I be golden? or at least workable? Quote
Canardia Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 You can't upgrade laptops. You could however buy an external GPU docking station for it.

Chris Adkins Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 I was referring to getting a used desktop from my office and just upgrading the graphics. I know it doesn't work to upgrade a laptop. Never heard of an external GPU docking station through. Looking into that in about 2 seconds. Quote
Niosop Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Probably more hassle than it's worth depending on your model. I'd just go the used desktop + graphics card route. Quote Windows 7 x64 - Q6700 @ 2.66GHz - 4GB RAM - 8800 GTX ZBrush - Blender
Chris Adkins Posted February 2, 2010 Author Posted February 2, 2010 right on. Thanks for the info! Quote
