The HP Z8 is one of the most powerful workstations you can buy, but is it the right one for you? – RedShark News

Image
Review: The dual-processor HP Z8 supports up to 56 cores, Quadro RTX graphics, 3TB of RAM and loads of storage. But is this the right kind of power for your work? Let’s take a look. This HP Z8 G4 workstation just received a refresh that enables the 56-core configuration that we tested. Our testing included industry benchmarks like Viewperf 13, Cinebench and Octane. For application testing, we wanted to test the multi-core performance with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Some of the tests met our performance expectations and some did not. Simple on the outside. Simple on the inside The Z8 has a sleek design. It is tool-less, compartmentalised and simple. With plenty of venting, the Z8 sports four USB connectors and an SD-card reader along with multiple front-facing drive bays. The rear of the workstation has six more USB connections, two ethernet connections, VGA, keyboard, mouse, and I/O connectors. Access to the interior of the Z8 is well designed, simple, and fast.

Want to learn to design theme parks? Here’s a new place to start – Theme Park Insider

Image
August 14, 2019, 5:58 PM · A couple of months ago, I asked if the popular online instructional course Masterclass ever would feature a themed entertainment designer. Now, competitor Khan Academy has jumped in to fill that space, offering an online tutorial in cooperation with Walt Disney Imagineering. Imagineering in a Box features a series of instructional videos and exercises that take viewers through the process of creating theme park attractions. “Disney Imagineers from hundreds of career disciplines around the world share how they use a wide range of skills – from story development and conceptual design, to math, physics and engineering – that all come together to create immersive experiences,” the course’s description says. Khan Academy is an online learning resource known for its supplementary courses aimed at high school students, but it also offers material that dives into more professional disciplines — such as, now, theme park attraction design.

District Staff August 15, 2019 Written by Cristina Pelaez, Photos by Nick Thomsen and Cristina Pelaez Since I moved to New York and started working, my life has been very exciting and fast-paced. In my free time, I am constantly discovering new things in the city, while at work I am faced with a new project, task or challenge every day. Something that challenged me when I first started working was designing in AutoCad, a design software that I never had any formal training in. I’ve been able to learn it as I go by referencing tools from similar programs I’m more familiar with, looking up tutorials online and asking a lot of questions. It feels good to realize that I’ve been able to learn so much in such a short amount of time, all thanks to the patience and attention of my coworkers and my openness to receive these new experiences as lessons. I’m very proud of my fearlessness throughout this very new and unfamiliar time because it has allowed me to sta
