hi Tom,
Thank you for the suggestion. That is how I exactly tried to create the shape, however after offsetting the path when I select minus front and try to cut out the shape I find that I’m getting these weird artefacts.

Ahhh, now I get it! That is really clever. I will try to mimic that for my sites. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, what you suggesting would be a great starting point. But have you noticed the shadows that the turbine pole casts on the rotating blades and the constantly changing shadows? I can see how the rotating motion could be achieved, but how could the shadows be created?

So you propose that the designer of the webpage took a static image, from which he created several gif animations, Then laid it over the original image?
It sounds like a lot of effort to achieve the effect. I have checked the HTML portion of the webpage and noticed that the gif has been laid over the original image in three different locations.
I have never seen that technique being applied before.
Videos and GIF animations commonly used as backgrounds, but this solution seem truly unique to me.
What would be your workflow to create something like that?

Too late? Never. Your ghost is helping me years down the line. Thank you!!!

When you find a reply that was provided years ago but you just cant help feeling an overwhelming sense of gratefulness towards the person who spent their time crafting the response…

The 3950x is an excellent choice. It has the speed for decent AE/C4D and more cores for the rendering side. It has up to 4.7GHz two core turbo. The current 16 core often out performs its 24 core big brother: https://www.pugetsystems.com/pic_disp.php?id=57600&width=800&height=800
The new Threadrippers will have better memory performance and the new Zen2 Cores and as I know it support up to 3200MHz RAM. Just a heads up: A high core count chip will run After Effects and the design and animation side of C4D about 5-10% slower than on a CPU like the 9900k or 3900x. It will still run great, but you can either optimize for speed or cores, not both. AE/C4D Animation and design like speed, Redshift/Rendering like cores and GPU. I don’t think you’ll notice much but just a heads up that the softwares are designed differently.Always look at all-core turbo when selecting a CPU. They rarely run at the advertised clock speed. They are either below that at idle, or using turbo when under a load.
Redshift likes GPUs, the more powerful (or multiple) the better. The other two programs are not written to take advantage of a multi-GPU setup.
Most of the GPUs have switched to the new “Super” versions which have a slightly higher clock speed and a few more cores. The 2070 and 2080 are very similar in terms of performance: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2080S-Super-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super/4050vs4048
I use a 2070 Super because it is so close to the 2080 regular for less price: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2080-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super/4026vs4048
A 2080Ti however, is about a 30 performance increase over a 2080 regular and is an amazing card: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2080-Ti-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2080S-Super/4027vs4050The 2080Ti is just a fast powerful card and will handle anything you can throw at it. I’d recommend a single 2080ti (you can add another one later if need be) over dual 2070’s.
For Redshift dual 2080’s would be better than a single 2080ti but in the long run the 2080Ti will be around longer and may be worth adding to after getting a single. Especially if you’re just starting out with rendering.
I know that’s not a firm answer but you have to make the call there.Either setup will give you excellent performance.

Hello Tomas,
Thank you for your response.
Your answer fully corresponds with the answer I have received from Pudget systems.
I have emailed them today and I will copy and paste the reply I have received from Pudget for those who interested.Hi Lucas,
Always, always, always go for more RAM over higher speed. The difference in speed will not be perceptible, period.
It would be like you asking a question and getting your answer in a billionth of a second vs 1.25 billionths of a second. You just wouldn’t even be able to tell. Maybe if doing large amounts of RAM intensive scientific calculations it would make a difference, but even then, its minimal at best.
After Effects in particular likes large amounts of RAM. 64 would probably be fine for either program, but if it’s about speed vs amount go with amount.It is important to match the RAM speed to the max supported by the CPU. Going over won’t benefit you and can cause instability. What CPU are you planning on using?
The main factor for both programs is the CPU – After Effects is predominantly single threaded and likes CPU speed, and so does the design and animation side of C4D.
Rendering, however is more dependant on high core counts. How much rendering do you plan to do?Live view is about RAM, that’s where the previews are stored, and more is better.
I hope that helps. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
Thanks,
Jared Lewis

Thank you for the response, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Real-life user experience. I think I will pair the AMD 3950x once its released with the Nvidia RTX 2070 super and upgrade the card later if I need to.
I do not have much experience with Octane render but I do occasionally use red shift which I know that can take advantage of the GPU.
I have read the reviews from Puget but it is so easy to get lost in between the myriad of information they provide and it is more straightforward to ask the community.Once more thank you for your response and have a great day.
