Whatever people might think about the way SONY might act, the console was built specifically to play PS3 games legally. George Hotz is an idiot to think he can argue otherwise and I hope SONY rip him a new one. They did not say "heres a unix box, please use it for whatever" They marketed and sold the PS3 with the "other…
@Frankie and Zwebbie, AFAIK, a distance of 0 is indeed infinite. If you have a well set up LP mesh, you should never really need to touch bias or distance, and most of the time I leave them at 0 and 0 and get perfectly good results. It's only in very rare cases (like this) where I have needed to change the bias. This is…
Mezz nailed it. Don't worry about starting a new thread in the proper forum though. This one will be moved by a mod, so you`ll be able to find it there soon enough. Just make sure to post there from now on. Honestly, you`re missing a lot of the fundamentals. You need more anticipation, follow through and secondary action.…

For $1500, You should be able to get more than a 650m for sure. Even my 5 year old €1000 can almost keep up with that (my 4770HD is only 20% slower). I'd suggest going for a GTX660 (desktop version, not M) which is about 3 times faster than the Mac, yet costs only $150. According to…
The early years: As with everyone else I grew up playing games. I got into games really early on and despite not having reached my mid 20's yet; my first gaming experience was on the Amiga, it was on the Amiga that I started using Deluxe Paint and began making really basic art in it. I always had fun making art so it was…
Hey! Good start! Welcome to the world of organic topology. This is going to sound a bit harsh but I would suggest starting over at this point. This model has lots of weird topology and your edge loops are not going to deform properly. When the shoulders move for example there should be a flow of edges... almost like a…
Hey Jason, modeling those creases in will just be tedious but you'll get the hang of it. As with all organic modeling, not much I can really point out to you specifically. Keep referencing your model as much as possible, try and think about where the tension and weight is coming from to cause the various creases. Take a…
Finally, some nerd talk, haha. A few things I should mention is the computer has been used by me alone for around 2 years (its the 2008 model). So its using the Quad core xeons that dont support hyperthreading or anything. I usually try and get a new system every 2 years if it will be fast enough to justify the price. Also…
I doubt that knee will hold up. The other joints are questionable but definitely with some work would deform much better. Games work in tris, there's nothing wrong with your final game ready model having tris. This all quad workflow should only be for sculpting and your own sanity durring modeling. When it comes to rigging…
