I dunno, for me AE is a nightmare as it seems like there is NO WAY one can figure it out by oneself - it relies so heavily on keyboard shortcuts with no equivalent in menus or anywhere else in the app. I like programs where, if you understand the core principles,you can find your way just fine. Photoshop and Max are like…
So I have a $600-800 budget to try and get a good gaming rig, and im not the best at hardware so no building from scratch, even though its the best possible solution. Id prefer buying a decent desktop maybe 2.5-3.0ghz, few gb of ram, and switching out the graphics card to something that could easily run the majority of the…
Hello All, I have recently started to take a new direction with my portfolio site design because I was getting bad feedback. I wanted to get some more opinions and JesseMoody has been stressing the fact that this is my best resource. Here are some of my ideas, nothing is set in stone. Jesse mentioned that I might want to…
Hello everyone, After a long delay, here's my copy for this challenge. I had a lot of trouble finishing it. I'm not totally satisfied with the result. @Fabi_G came much closer to what I wanted to do and that helped me a lot to finish my props. I realize that I still have a long way to go to reach the level I want. Still,…
Just wanted to say I got my PC now. I bought it from Cyberpower Systems. They upgraded some of the components for free, probably due to them not having stock. I ordered: 700 watt power got 850 watt Corsair 8GB RAM got Kingston 8GB RAM with heatspreader (whatever that is) Which I think is about £50 upgades. Anyway. Here it…
I started using a standing desk after switching out of a job where I was moving and lifting a lot for eight hours a day after five years. I'm pretty healthy, was in great shape then and was afraid of losing it. Again, I used a standing desk for two years. I think the key is having a sitting contingency. Most of the blog…
Welcome to the 'Retro 3D FAQ', a thread dedicated to sharing information about the creation of 3D art for game consoles made before the age of programmable pixel shaders. If you enjoy the look of 3D games from the 90's and early 2000's, and would like to learn how to make such art yourself, this is the thread for you! :)…
I did not understand the hype surrounding Arkham Asylum But assumed there was something other than the crudely modeled/textured thugs that I must be missing. ( I thought Bioshock was goty even with it's immature character art, rubber clothing and heavily compressed low rez textures ) So I would like to think I generally…
Taking forever to make an indie game isn't an option. So far, I haven't been able to quit my day job, but if I keep to a solid 2~3 months turn around, then I can build up a decent catalog. Not saying make throw-away games. You can if you hone your time and energy into what is needed to run. My current project is taking a…
Since you don't have a aftermarket cooler in your shoping cart I assume you don't want to overclock. In this case you can go with a i7 4770 (saves ~$20) or a Xeon E3 1230v3 (if you can live without the iGPU, saves ~$70) as a CPU. You also don't need a Z87 board, go with H87 (saves ~90). The thermal compound is also not…
