@Jerc Something to keep an eye on that I've been noticing. When opening Painter, sometimes, it will not utilize my entire GPU. I have GPU-Z open and the times that my card hits 100% clock speed, the viewport seems to be running fine. However, there are many times where it won't even hit 50% clock speed with the same…
next project! I asked allison theus whether i could sculpt one of her critters and got permission :) i decided to go for one of the "Fu"s ! Snow Fu! so i created some huge ref sheet for a lion containing quite some anatomy. If anyone can use it feel free to download! --> big ref sheet (7mb)…

Blender is a full contender for that kind of work, it can be a bit outputting though since its "different" and unique. Its heavily reliant on 3rd party plugins and development, some which can easily lose their support once the developer moves on or forgets it. Its somewhat restricted by its GPL license. Its free though, no…
I've got a blue one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220678 (Not sure why the blue and black ones they list have a different price, when I got mine blue/white/black were all 299). I took it to the last GDC and it performed fantastically. It boots up quickly, runs web and word without…
No, I'm not for sure! May be my words sound like an AD, but I'm just a great fan of this program =) Ok, I spent some time trying to compile a visual comparison of different approaches to imagery downsizing. Here's a test image from free Ornament collection. Original resolution is 1950x1323. I've chosen four areas of…
The metal parts are very dark and it is hard to see a lot of it, but I'm not sure if your texture is too dark or it is just the lighting. Also Reventius is correct, the wear line from the cylinder rotating generally will end at the indentations. Here are a couple examples http://www.hansenguns.com/images/swarmymodel1.jpg…
Not to toot my own horn, but I just ended up making a very similiar system, only micro ATX. Case: Corsair Carbide Air 240 CPU: 5820k RAM: 32gb ddr4 2800mhz (4x8gig sticks, ADATA) (Best deal right now 50% off, $299 via NewEgg ) CPU Cooler: Silverstone Tundra TD02-E ($99 via amazon) (keeps it at a constant 28-33…
Yeah I found that out earlier. I'm at about 2789 tris. I was at 2999 tris but some faces I decided to delete. I have all the UVs mapped out and now I just need to make my normal maps and diffuse textures, then render. Hope I make it in time for the deadline.
