Warcraft Movie Update
Warcraft has now been released for at least a week in all markets. There is a nice interview about the work ILM did on the movie here.
- The movie is up to $430M worldwide now.
- When doing motion capture, up to nine orcs could be displayed in real time, superimposed over the actors on the monitors and through the lens for the camera operators.
- Baby Thrall was one of the hardest characters to get right, designed for maximum cuteness with the right amount of Orc.
- ILM worked on the movie in some capacity from Comic-Con 2013 to April 2016.
- Over 1,000 people were working on the movie effects at one point.

Build of the Month - July 2016
Each month or so we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!
All of the parts on this page are Amazon affiliate links. When you purchase your parts through them it helps support the site!
This month
Important: The GTX 1080 ($700) and GTX 1070 ($450) are here. Unfortunately stock is very limited, resulting in expensive cards. Differnet versions with nicer coolers are starting to come in stock. New cards from AMD are also on the way.
The current SSD prices are fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale.
Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15.
Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 6700K and should spend that money elsewhere.
Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.
Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!
