Planing my budget and project goals for 2024. CGCookie annual plan, and Im looking at one of the Adobe annual plans with After Effects(and AE training) but Im unsure if ill need other Adobe apps for 2024. Blender focuses for 2024 are modeling, animation & rigging(no human models). Ive never touched Afer Effects, so i dont know what my focus would be, other then learning proper workflows and Blender with AE importing/exporting. Ive never touched Adobe Premier, would I need such an editor?
Current system:
Intel i5 6/12core 4.4Ghz LGA1700
32GB 3200Ghz DDR4 memory
Samsung M2 500GB OS, and Samsung 1TB storage
Gefore GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
I need to add a single HDD for more space, and my GPU is needing an upgrade, also will be adding a primary 1440P or 4K monitor, with the 1080P being a secondary. This system has been trouble free since Ive built it last summer. Im thinking I should leave well enough alone and build a new system this year.
New System:
AMD Ryzen AM5 12 or 16core
64GB 6000Ghz DDR5 memory
Samsung 2TB M2 OS drive
6TB+ HDD
RTX 3060 12GB, or RTX 5070
Feedback is welcome.
