3D Design & Animation Workstations
Model. Animate. Iterate.
Create stunning 3D models and smooth animations with ease using our powerful, optimized workstations. From concept sculpting to final renders, our systems deliver the speed, stability, and viewport performance you need—so you can focus on creativity, not progress bars.
Shop by Software
Autodesk 3ds Max
Fast modeling, UVs, and rigging with responsive viewports and accelerated modifier stacks—built for complex architectural, product, and character workflows.
Autodesk Maya
Optimized for character animation, grooming, and simulation. Expect snappy rigs, fluid timeline scrubbing, and reliable playback with heavy deformers.
Blender
Real-time viewport performance in Eevee plus rapid Cycles renders. Our configs balance CPU/GPU for modeling, sculpting, and geometry nodes.
Cinema 4D
Lightning-quick MoGraph iterations, stable viewport interaction, and accelerated Redshift/Arnold rendering for motion design and broadcast.
Houdini
Tailored for procedural modeling and FX. Strong multi-core CPUs and high-VRAM GPUs keep sims, pyro, and Karma/XPU renders moving.
ZBrush
High clock speed and abundant RAM for ultra-dense sculpts. Expect fluid brushes, fast dynamesh/reproject, and zero lag on massive projects.
Additional information
Additional Information: Building a High-Performance 3D & Animation Workstation
Optimized for Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, and ZBrush — tuned for smooth viewports, fast simulations, and reliable rendering performance.
The Demands of Modern 3D
From modeling and rigging to simulation and rendering, 3D workloads tax every component in your system. Our workstations are engineered to stay responsive while caching, baking, or rendering for hours on end—keeping artists in flow instead of waiting for progress bars.
Pro tip: Separate your project cache and source files onto dedicated SSDs for faster I/O during simulation and render-to-disk operations.
Processor: Clocks for Viewport, Cores for Renders
Viewport interactivity depends on high single-thread speed, while simulations and CPU renderers scale across many cores.
- Recommended: Intel Core Ultra 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
- Heavy FX / Rendering: Threadripper PRO for multi-core scaling
- Balance clock speed and core count for hybrid pipelines
Graphics: Viewport & Render Acceleration
The GPU drives both real-time display and GPU-accelerated renderers like Redshift, Cycles, and Arnold GPU.
- Artists & Animators: RTX 5070–5090 for smooth playblasts and shading
- Studios & Render Nodes: RTX 5000–6000 Ada for large VRAM and multi-GPU support
- More CUDA/RT/Tensor cores = faster look-dev and path-traced IPRs
RAM: Keep Scenes & Caches In-Memory
- ? 64–96 GB DDR5 for modeling and animation
- ? 128–256 GB DDR5 for heavy FX, UDIMs, and multi-app workflows
- High memory bandwidth prevents paging during large bakes
Throughput for Assets, Caches & Renders
- Drive 1 — OS/Apps: NVMe Gen 4/5 SSD
- Drive 2 — Projects/Cache: NVMe SSD for scenes, Alembic/USD, and temp files
- Drive 3 — Renders/Archive: High-capacity SSD/HDD or NAS
Tip: For multi-camera or high-FPS renders, use RAID 0 NVMe arrays or 10 GbE NAS for sustained write speeds.
Color & Viewport Accuracy
Accurate look-dev and shading require monitors with:
- 10-bit panels and 100 % sRGB / DCI-P3 coverage
- Hardware calibration for consistent results
- High refresh and wide viewing angles for smooth motion previews
Application-Specific Recommendations
3ds Max / Maya
Prioritize CPU clocks for rigs & modeling; more cores boost Arnold CPU and baking.
Blender / Cinema 4D
Balance CPU + RTX GPU for Eevee/Cycles or Redshift; VRAM capacity drives render size.
Houdini / ZBrush
Houdini loves cores & RAM; ZBrush thrives on clock speed & memory. Both benefit from fast NVMe scratch.
