Re: unlimited detail ? no more polygons...
It makes sense, but to use it you need to be able to access all the millions and billions of pieces of data (digital atoms) at any given moment. Just like Google has indexed search information you would have to index these digital atoms. I can see his point about doing away with the polygons though. To get a pixel off a… -
Re: Is there much of a point to do art with an IPS panel?
Keep in mind that I am half asleep and have a habit of rambling on in this state. You do bring up an interesting point. I was in a similar discussion with a friend of mine, we were also taking into account colour calibration and other variables, now bear in mind that we both love photography so the premise of my argument… -
Re: Camera thread.
Is size/weight a factor? For a setup that can cover a really vast range of uses you have basically two choices. 1. Consumer "super zoom" camera, these will be much smaller, lighter, more expensive, but image quality will not be as high as a DSLR(but may be fine for your purposes) 2. A DSLR with a few lenses.

Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD

Re: Self Teaching Max?
Hi, I'm a slight-above-nooblet Max learner too. I started a modeling tutorial with Digital Tutors " Intro to Modeling a Character" with Justin, he's my favorite, a teacher who really explains well for beginners. I then went straight to intermediate rigging with Paul Neale, I think a lot of riggers/animators probably know… -
Re: PC Games dropped from E3
It's not so much a matter of the PC gaming market in decline, as it is in transition. The fact of the matter is that the old financial model that supported PC gaming is largely dead and buried. This is largely thanks to rampant piracy. (and the constant expansion of high-speed internet that makes piracy so much easier) So… -
