Re: Need good gaming computer to ditch consoles
I recently built my wife a computer, prior to this she was running a 7 year old Dell. It held up well over the years but let's face it, a Radeon 9800 and DDR ram just doesn't cut it these days. I'm not a computer wiz by any stretch of the imagination, but here's what I went with: These are the parts I bought (from Newegg):… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
I wish I could just hear some reasoning as to how this is actually viable. Clearly with UDK and the like this would be hella expensive. Are they hedging their bets against the future? Do current high-end cards have enough throughput to handle something like this, even on current engines? Are they thinking that they could… -

Re: Inconsistent FOV (perspective) between ZBrush and Maya
If I recall correctly, ZBrush started out as purely 2.5D with the whole "pixols" tech which was basically color plus some height data. They added 3d meshes that you could stamp down into pixols on the canvas. But it was still an orthographic view mode. Then people were manipulating 3d models more, and not stamping them… -
Re: Make Games on the iPad - GamePress
OK thanks guys. Should have something new in the coming weeks, hopefully it gives off a better idea of the app. We're currently in the process of redoing the behaviours screen to make it faster, easier, and overall nicer. Isaiah, definitely a difficult niche to full. Make it too easy and it won't be powerful enough. Too… -
Re: W.I.P - My path into the 3D modeling world - Follow my 1 year progression here
I'm taking my first course about Zbrush today and yes what I've did look like some sh** for the moment and I was playing with the Zsphere tool, but every artist was doing sh** at the beginning right ;) Honestly, this app is SO much more powerful that i was thinking! I was watching livestream of people doing sculpting in… -
Re: RappaTools v1.98
I know this was a suggestion, but I actually undocked the various and modeling tab to fit them on the same panel... Tabs are not a good idea here imho :> @specter: I think rappatools 3 is not meant to be a replacement for max interface (Am I wrong rappy ?) and is more like a power user thing. So yeah I think vanilla max… -
Re: Own or Rent?
Own! I rented for a while, but then reailzed i could have a mortgage for a house that is mine (at least in essence, and will be mine) for less than what rent was costing. I think thats what people mean by "throwing money away" ben. It is a matter of preference, what you mentioned about being free to do what you want,… -
Re: zbrush workflow
Some musings on geometry in zbrush... SubD- Standard geometry to work with for most people. You have the upside of subdivision levels which allow you to modify big forms in a forgiving way, but the downside of being restricted by your original basemesh. Dynamesh- Dynamesh isn't overly smart, all it wants to do is make nice… -
Re: A few problems I have with 3ds Max 2012
I probably didn't word that as well as I should of. Min spec is any DX9 compatible card with 256mb of ram or greater. Nitrous has higher requirements for some of its advanced features like realtime lighting and display of normal maps in the viewport. For general animation and rendering (typically fewer than 1,000 objects…
