Computer Upgrade for Higher Quality Animations
Donation protected
Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Even your interest in checking it out means so much!
Just wanted to say first, The $2000CAD goal is just a placeholder, it means nothing! I'll explain later!
After an amazing positive response from people with asking about raising money, I've decided to go ahead with the fundraising!
This 100% optional fundraiser will go towards upgrading my computer to provide you all with higher quality animations with a higher quality production!
My current computer is about 7-8 years old. It is an i5-2500, 16gb DDR3 ram, and a GTX 750ti.
With a new computer, partnered with Unreal Engine 4, I'll be able to achieve better lighting, better fur, better assets, and even possible destruction with the built-in destruction plugin! My plan is to still animate inside Source Filmmaker, then import the animations to Unreal Engine 4, providing you the same fluid-smooth animation in a much higher quality presentation!
Here is the real part:
The $2000CAD goal is just a placeholder, it means nothing! This fundraiser will be a reflection of how much I deserve an upgrade. Depending on how much I receive (or if I receive), I will put that money towards an optimized build by you!
I will be as transparent as I can with the funds! Once the fundraiser is finished, I will ask you and others how to best use those funds to achieve the best computer for the price! I will ask you to please form the best builds you can on https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/
With this strategy, everyone will know where the money is going, and we will all ensure that the money is going as far as it can! The computer upgrade will be the best possible upgrade before diminishing returns! What diminishing returns means in this case, is that for example, I will still only get one graphics card, as having 2 would cost double for only what, like 60% speed improvement! Not worth the value and cost in my opinion!
Here's the BEST part:
If the funds raised isn't enough for a basic, new budget build that is better than my current build, I will just refund everything back to everyone! This fundraiser is 100% optional. As this fundraiser is a way to see how much I deserve a new computer from you, I will completely understand in the end! I will still continue to make animations in Source Filmmaker and work towards this end goal anyways!
To summarize it up:
- This is 100% optional! This will only help boost me to my end goal of higher quality animations using Unreal Engine 4 with a new computer! I am just seeing how much of a newer computer I deserve. If not enough funds are raised for a basic upgrade that's better than my current computer, then I'll refund everything and still continue to make animations inside Source Filmmaker, working my way to that end goal anyways!
- I will be 100% transparent with the funds and spending. You will know where every dollar and cent goes, and if you'd like, you can help me make the dollar go furthest with discussing the best computer build for that budget using https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ !
- In the end, you will get much higher quality animations with better lighting, better fur, better shadows, better assets, and even possible destruction! Whether it takes a month or so with this fundraiser, or takes a year of me saving with commisssions, you will get all these great things in the end, regardless of whether or not this fundraiser is successful!
Thank you very much for reading! <3
