Re: Next generation to arrive in 2012
A $300 xbox < $300 top graphics card at the time. You will be able to play all released games at > xbox quality, but alot of the pc versions throw in extra features and they tend to make you feel like you aren't "maxing" it. -

Re: WIP: test project "Gardevoir"
====Day2 progress==== * I started refining the mesh of dress, didnt know how to tackle this at first with how dynamesh reacts with small areas at low resolutions so I ended up making it as 2 separate subtools (front+back / sides) then merging after im done playing with general silhouette, I also lifted the side parts up to… -
Re: Cintiq: Pondering the purchase.
Don't get a 4x6... they're useless. The 6x8s are a good size, intuos3 would be a good pick (~$300). Check craigslist, sometimes you can find a deal (ie. there's a 9x12 for $350 up right now that you could probably talk down to $300). -
Re: Noisy textures everywhere!
That is correct, heres a .gif I made showcasing this. It goes from a value of 3.0 which is the original value, then 2.0, 1.0 and off (but this also turns off other post processing stuff). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9876544/witcher2sharpen.gif A comparison between 3.0 and off. -
Re: Foundry announces strategic decision to wind down development of Modo
From what I've heard Mari is still the standard in many big VFX studios due to how it allows painting on very large textures (16K-32K), and can use nearly unlimited UDIM tiles (substance has issues over about 30 tiles supposedly). That said, I tried it a few years ago and found it to be almost impenetrably complex compared… -
Re: Skyline
If I am not mistaken by how I read your statement that is what 300 did. A few foreground elements were created and everything else was CG and 300 was awesome. Have you ever seen transformers? A movie dosnt have to be good to make a shit ton of money. -
Re: Chair recommendations
IKEA's 300 Euro "Volmar" got top marks in a german consumer magazine's tests a couple of months ago, for what it's worth. I think they limited the entries to around 300 Euro in cost, though. Lifting weights on the regular as well as riding my bike/running are indispensable for my back health too.. -
Re: Move/Scale/Rotate Tool Broken!
I suspect it is an openGL 3.0 3.1 driver incompatability problem with maya contexts. Just a guess. Rolling back my ATI drivers to 8.12 ( pre 3.0? ) fixes similar rotation tool problems... http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=7&t=734980 The point of that thread was that the history manipulator works on history... -
Re: Customize Comp. vs Upgrading?
Here's an example btw... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115011 For $970 you can get a quad core that is just slightly slower than the 6800, but you save $300. I'd rather have my $300 than a sliver of speed that I'd probably never notice.
