Heloo! I’m an architect/3D visualizer and I’m currently learning 3ds Max 2023 + Corona Renderer 10.

{So, I want to build a portfolio consisting entirely of 3ds Max + Corona work using dummy/personal projects, and then use that portfolio to apply for visualization jobs.
At the moment, I’m short on money and trying to save up for a better PC, so buying a powerful workstation immediately isn’t really an option. I’m wondering whether my current laptop can realistically get me through the portfolio building stage. T-T }

My laptop specs:

Laptop: HP Omen 16
CPU: Intel Core i7-14650HX
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU | 8GB VRAM
RAM: 16GB DDR5-5600
Storage: 954GB total
OS: Windows 11 64bit
Age: 2 years old now

My typical work would involve architectural interiors/exteriors, fairly detailed 3D models, materials, lighting and Corona renders.

I understand that Corona is primarily CPU based, so I’m particularly wondering about the i7-14650HX and 16GB RAM. But 🙁.

I’d appreciate advice from people who actually use 3ds Max + Corona, especially for architectural visualization.

Thanks!🌼
