FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the system requirements for the software? Will my computer be able to handle it?
You can take a course and work in programs with 8GB of RAM and 2GB of video memory. But to make everything fly and texturing as comfortable as possible, we recommend 16GB of RAM and 4GB of video memory.
Why learn Designer when you can learn Painter?
These programs have different tasks. It is more convenient to use Painter for texturing assemblies. And if you need to create a material or procedural texture, it is better to use Designer. Therefore, you should not choose between these programs, it is more effective to use them together.
Will it be difficult to understand Designer without a technical background?
At first, the program may indeed seem very complicated. But in fact, Designer is one of the easiest and most interesting programs to learn. You don't need to know more math than the multiplication table.
