In the end I would like to see as much processing power as is economically possible. If that means they drop compatability or, assure no Piracy with internet always connections or, Absorb the huge profits Game Stop would have had without growing actual development in any way. My biggest fear is that all the jaded gamers…
This is really overkill for a game but I can't really suggest much (detached handle example) without knowing the type of game and how you wanted to use the mug but as it stands I'd argue it's even overkill for a movie prop If it's a hero object in a first person game (like a gun in call of duty) then you want higher poly…
They are all the same machine, and play the same games. Only difference is the extras. Nothing has changed over time. All consoles go through the revisions to their chipsets over the years. There's about a dozen models of the NES and Genesis systems alone. But it makes no difference, they all work the same and look the…
3.3Ghz+ CPU and more cores is better for rendering so go AMD. I don't care what others say about intel/hyperthreading, a workload split between more workers is more stable IMO. Tom's says so as well. ASUS motherboards have good overclocking options if you're into that. Just make sure the socket type is the same as the CPU.…
After some considerable time last night looking over Toshiba and HP, I have come to a few conclusions. Feel free to correct me. Most laptops at the 15.4" size use integrated graphics cards. Doing so, it does in fact allow them to run fairly quiet according to the research I did on reviews on Newegg. When you get into the…
Hi! Thank you so much for your help. I found out in the end that the problems were mainly caused by my GPU not being powerful enough... so when I changed to my other PC, it actually worked which is why your result is different from mine. However, I did follow your tips and got a much improved bake anyway so not all is lost…
Hello, I got yesterday New Houdini. What i am trying to do is model based on ref images. I set images for background and side view but issue is that when i see mesh i don`t see image. Need the image in order to model. How to lower visibility for the model so i can see ref image behind it?
So I'm out of college and no hardline and 10 mb/persec download speed [Those were the good days!] and I'm at home with wifi. It's not spotty, but not really strong. I dunno if I'll be able to do online gaming like what i want with battlefield 3, but I'm hoping. :) Anyways my issue is that i have no idea how to get my tower…
did you buy a premade or build it yourself? My case came with rubber sound dampeners to prevent hard-drive vibration from being transfered into the case and it has 3x120mm fans that run at a lower voltage because larger fans running at lower voltage will push more air than smaller ones and also produce less noise. I…
I keep hearing about PS3's technological superiority, but I have never seen it in action. Anyone can spew all this crap about how the PS3 is SOO much better, yet we see that every multi platform game has the PS3 with lower resolution, blurier textures, and slower framerates (I don't think any of them are even at 1080p…
