| 00.03 | Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials. |
| 00.06 | In this tutorial, we shall look at the hardware specifications and requirements for Blender 2.59. |
| 00.16 | This script has been contributed by Chirag Raman.
|
| 00.20 | First Up, we shall look at what the official Blender website has to say about the hardware requirements. |
| 00.28 | Open your internet browser. |
| 00.30 | I am using Firefox 3.09. |
| 00.34 | In the address bar, type www.blender.org and hit the Enter key. |
| 00.44 | This should take you to the official blender website. |
| 00.47 | For ease of demonstration, I have already loaded the System Requirements page. |
| 00.53 | Blender is Free and Open Source. |
| 00.56 | Blender 2.59 works on nearly all operating systems.
|
| 01.02 | For this tutorial I am Windows XP operating system. |
| 01.07 | Different parts of Blender are dependent on different pieces of computer hardware. |
| 01.13 | A faster CPU and more RAM can help to increase rendering speed, |
| 01.18 | while the speed of the Blender interface, viewports and real-time engine is influenced by the speed of the graphics card. |
| 01.26 | Fast and large hard drives can also speed up work when dealing with large video files. |
| 01.32 | As you can see, the Blender Organization shows Hardware Specifications for 3 sections of usage: |
| 01.40 | Minimum, Good and Production levels. |
| 01.44 | The Minimum hardware specifications required to run Blender are – |
| 01.48 | 1 GHZ Single Core CPU |
| 1.53 | 512 MB RAM |
| 01.56 | 1024 x 768 px Display with 16 bit color |
| 02.03 | 3 Button Mouse |
| 02.05 | Open GL Graphics Card with 64 MB RAM |
| 02.12 | The Good specifications level includes – |
| 02.15 | 2 GHZ Dual Core CPU |
| 02.20 | 2 GB RAM |
| 02.22 | 1920 x 1200 px Display with 24 bit color |
| 02.28 | 3 Button Mouse |
| 02.30 | Open GL Graphics Card with 256 or 512 MB RAM |
| 02.40 | Production level hardware specifications will be – |
| 02.43 | 64 bits, Multi Core CPU |
| 02.47 | 8-16 GB RAM |
| 02.50 | Two times 1920 x 1200 px Display with 24 bit color |
| 02.57 | 3 Button Mouse + tablet |
| 03.00 | Open GL Graphics Card with 1 GB RAM, ATI FireGL or Nvidia Quadro |
| 03.10 | To make sure you meet any one of the specified levels, you need to check your system configuration. |
| 03.17 | Minimize your browser window. |
| 03.20 | Go to the Control Panel. Once here double click on the System icon. |
| 03.26 | So here you can see the current specifications of your machine and compare it against what the Blender Foundation suggests. |
| 03.36 | Most Windows Operating systems are either 32-bit or 64-bit. I am using 32-bit Windows. |
| 03.45 | The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way the CPU handles information. |
| 03.52 | The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts RAM more effectively than a 32-bit system. |
| 04.00 | Also if you are planning to invest in a new computer for Blender, |
| 04.04 | It would be a good idea to check out this article over at www. Blender Guru .com/ The Ultimate Guide to buying a computer for Blender. |
| 04.21 | This guide gives you detailed information about Operating system, CPU, RAM, Graphics card, Case, and hard drive. |
| 05.04 | So that completes the tutorial on the Hardware Requirements for running Blender. |
| 05.08 | This Tutorial is created by Project Oscar and supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT. |
| 05.17 | More information on the same is available at the following links oscar.iitb.ac.in, and spoken-tutorial.org/NMEICT-Intro. |
| 05.33 | The Spoken Tutorial Project |
| 05.35 | conducts workshops using spoken tutorials |
| 05.39 | also gives certificates to those who pass an online test. |
| 05.44 | For more details, please contact@spoken-tutorial.org |
| 05.51 | Thanks for joining us |
| 05.53 | and this is Monisha from IIT Bombay signing off. |
