Hey sorry to dredge up an oldish topic here, but does anyone know much about resolutions and aspect ratio? The thing is,I have the Dell, I'm on the 1920x1200 res. and I'm just noticing that all my old models seem slightly wider than they were before in maya! Not hugely so I guess, but enough for me to notice it. I've done…
Ah, you have hidden your reply well :sunglasses: Fog cards I find they can help to elevate vistas, but to my knowledge shouldn't be layered too much due to the increased cost of the pixel on screen (Overdraw). Sample Projects I would follow the path Eric suggested. I haven't tried this one, but going by its description it…
@r4ptur3 & Jeff Parrott - Thanks for the kind words guys @nimlot26 - Glad you like the piece overall. I'll try to breakdown a bit of what into the decisions I made You hit the nail on head right there. I went high with both the polycount and texture rez because I wanted a really nice beauty shot render. The thing that…
A 2Ghz dual core mobile chip is seriously old stuff now, and the OS that shipped on those machines was 3 or 4 generations ago (they either shipped with Tiger (10.4) or Leopard (10.5), my white MB 13 C2D shipped with Tiger back in 06'), Now we're on Lion which is 10.7 and it just wasn't built with 5 year old laptops in…
It's extremely odd that your old PC should exhibit the same (or similar) symptoms with the new peripherals. They draw what little power they need from the PC, so I can't see them being the problem. Did your old PC get past the 'Power On Self Test' stage, eg did you see anything on the monitor? You're not running the…
Looks mostly fine to me, but others will have more experience with this. You could shift some of the "loops" of the upper arm towards the shoulder (but still retain enough to allow for internal/external rotation of the humerus). The topology on the inside of the elbow could follow the folds even more so they can be skinned…
As someone who's new here and missed the "good old days" completely, I understand the craving. The internet has changed and there's nowhere to go anymore. Old forums have mostly died and social networks are good at building crowds, not communities. They are more like giant galleries where no one will hear your scream. But…
I really like the paint over, thats cool. sorry I should have said, crits are fine. I was just messing about but if you think it has potential I might develop him further in a few weeks once I finish another character. I wasn't going for anything too aggressive or intimidating. I was thinking a village elder, the one orc…
No it's not a pluing. Adobe made "material" panel few years ago where you could load sbsar. it reads a layer as rgba input. Makes it into smart object and put live sbsar processing on top of it. So far I use height to normal map ,height to smooth curvature and height to AO "materials" It works best if you document follows…
His agenda is to make governments acountable for illegal actions that would otherwise go unknown. however it's true that wikileaks holds a much stronger (bordering on extreme) stance on this than alot of people would agree with. In the past they have been under criticism for releasing documents that pertained to then…
