I’m looking for recommendations on parts/builds to use in a budget blender rig. I’ll be using it to make models/rigging for three.js web apps.

I know this is probably something that has been covered in a million places online, but after spending the weekend waiting 30 seconds for every click in blender I’m ready for a little chit chat and hope the community will oblige and share some tips on building a cheap but solid rig.

Fine with sourcing used parts on Craigslist/online etc. I just want the best rig I can buy for the cheapest amount.

Would be using Linux fo sho!

Edit: I live in the US. Don’t have a hard budget in mind, just trying to be crafty.

Edit 2: I’m basically looking for the “used Honda civic” version of a blender rig. Started freelancing this year and haven’t made the big bucks yet, but hit the point where I need something to get work done

Thanks!

    What’s the budget? Where do you live?

      Good questions! I live in the US, and my budget is I’m broke af. Guess I don’t have a set budget at the moment.

        What do you have? And how much can you spend? Without that I can’t help you without telling you to just buy 4090.

          Lol I’m sorry I’m useless. I guess I’m in the research phase right now.

          I started freelancing three.js apps this year and have hit the point where I need a blender rig. But I’m broke. I need like a “used Honda civic” set up to get me around until I can afford something better.

            Then tell me your current specs and what is your workflow (What do you use blender for?). There are free solutions to problems but I don’t know what your problems are.
