Determine the required hardware for Blender animations by checking performance needs and system specifications.
I'm looking to set up a workstation for Blender, mainly for creating short 3D animations. You mentioned you've read mixed opinions online—some say one powerful machine is better, others suggest multiple render nodes could work. I'm worried about cost and complexity, especially with GPUs and network connections. For me, the idea is to decide whether a single high-end workstation or several render nodes would suit my needs. I also want to know if it's feasible to use GPU-based render engines for Blender and which one might be best for your setup. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated, especially since you're just starting out.
