This is a terrible argument - firstly, it isn't the fault of the customer that companies are competing to throw out better products than one another and are thus spending much more than they otherwise could to develop a…
Yea the curve editor still kills FPS for me too, there are times I would love to see 3fps. Here are the results of my tests on my work machine (a below average machine), with a 100k tri mesh. Vista 64bit Ultimate i5 2.67GHz 8gb RAM GeForce GT 240 (I'll test it at home tonight which is a lot beefier system) Realistic…
Buying them all individually costs nearly twice as much, and the grind to get the XP for them easily constitutes 100+ hours of play (~250000 XP, wtf? - I get around 1000 XP per game...). 3K gold is enough to unlock four weapons - $30 for four weapons isn't amazing value for money. FYI, XP boosts are worthless unless you…

So on that note i've revisited the Billabong brand showcase thingy i made before and tried putting textures on it. So on the textures i've done the UV unwrap then select all squares opened the uv…
Seems to be really impressive with a bunch of potentially awesome features. But wasnt the problem with the original PSP for most people bringing it around with them all the time was how big it was?

The app is far from dead. They even said they are actively working on it. It's just not their ONLY product anymore. This is no different than developers of bigger apps having to spread out their efforts and resources to cover all the aspects of their product. Working on a game engine that depends on silo can only benefit…

Hey guys, I'm looking to get myself a new screen, currently I use a 24" for my main screen but I was thinking of going a bit bigger. Just wondering if anyone uses larger than 24" and whether they like it or not? My main concern is for zbrush use. Cheers
