They are both under-powered and overpriced for what they are, but that's the price you pay for those brands. Personally if I had to go mobile, I would go for the MSI gt75 titan 4k-247 ($4,400-ish) i9 9980HK (8 cores) 64gb RAM (up-to 128) 512 GB (2x) SSD (raid for speed) 1 TB HDD (platter drive for storage) The cooling in…
NP! :) By the way a new version is out, which includes some of your suggestions: Rendering quality should have improved a bit thanks to gamma-corrected rendering, but it's a somewhat tricky area and I would really love your feedback! This is an important step towards supporting physically based rendering (which should be…
Hello Peter! I've used Huion and Xp-Pen, and Wacom is the best brand with difference. But only if you just want an "interactive monitor" for your desktop/office. I own that cintiq 16 you linked (i previously used to use a cintiq pro 24 i returned to amazon), and an Apple ipad pro. If you want something you can travel with,…
Gaming hardware (especially consoles) is a lot like military hardware, it sounds impressive but it's built by the lowest bidder... PrimeSense (the Israeli company that made the kinect for MS) kept developing sensors after they sold the kinect to MS. They have two cameras that trump both the kinect and Kinect2. One is for…
Don't forget that current hardware's leap isn't as big as the last gen's jump in power due to economic reasons. I remember Tim Sweeny urging for the extra power to make a lot of the "next gen" features we were promised come true. But ultimately MS and Sony just couldn't afford to take the same kind of risk they did at the…
The thing about substance designer (for me so far) is that it's user interface is a little wonky and the documentation I've been able to find so far has left me and my team a bit dead in the water when it comes to using it. It's so foreign to what artists are used to dealing with, perhaps dDo will step in and provide a…
When we moved back to England from the States, we brought some electronics with us to keep us going until we could afford to replace it; stuff like a laptop, a coffee machine and some hair straighteners, dryers for the wife etc. The laptop died after about ten days and the hair dryer blew up almost immediately. This was…
Yeah I did notice this in the past for example I used to play syndicate and magic carpet and aces over europe and big red racing and each game looked completely different! I always assumed that programming the engines that ran those games was very time consuming and the advantage we now have is middleware or api's that are…
Cool, i can't wait to see that asymmetric detail and texture redesign, as long as you justify your UV layout with the detail there's no problem. Just in case you didn't know you can set the Mesh>Cleanup tool to select faces with more than 4 faces kind of handy for giving your mesh a quick once over before you import it.…
[ QUOTE ] things i want to do with a camera: take pictures, capture textures, video capture (optional) [/ QUOTE ]Something you *don't* want... a 'box' (compact) camera with and in/out zoom lens, they eat batteries like a crack whore on a suger high. Get the largest storage media card you can. Make sure the camera can be…
