Re: Are MSI Laptops really good?
Processor (CPU) Intel® Corei7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB Memory (RAM) 32GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (4 x 8GB) Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 770M - 3.0GB DDR5 I definately wanted a huge memory boost as it was my main bottleneck on my older laptop. When I compared this build with Asus,… -
Re: Surface Pro 3 ?
I second the advice about getting a surface pro 2. I still have the original and love it. You can get them used for pretty cheap these days. If you want mobility but not necessarily need to use it on the go, Alienware ( http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-alpha/pd ) just came out with the first SteamMachine, which runs… -
Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
A customized Alienware Aurora looks good, I also think it's fairly in budget. I'm going to make plans for one of these bad boys. "Alienware Aurora Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (4-Cores, 8MB Cache, Turbo Boost 2.0, Overclocked up to 4.2GHz Windows 10 Home 64bit English Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Founders Edition with… -
Re: Miss Swift head mesh (Critique Requested)
the taper you have on the neck shouldn't be mirrored - it goes in on the left side but out on the right because she's turning her head toward the camera while her shoulders aren't facing it. the tapering on your model makes her look a little alienish. -
Re: UDK Environment Villa Savoye
You are about right. Well, I rendered in production, but try to keep my lightmaps as low as I could to speed up the renderings, I thought resolution was more or less good, but if it popped up for you I might have to increase then for the next versions. The only problem its that light baking takes a lot, so I have to do it… -
Re: PBR questions
To play devils advocate here, Alien:Isolation used PBR without any real sense of IBL (all deferred lighting with realtime GI) and a lot of people seem to think it looked better than "pretty bad" (would have been better with proper IBL, I'll admit). I agree with the principle though that PBR is kind of ... one part of a… -
Re: Need to find a laptop for 3D animation in Maya
You're definitely right on that. I've also gotten use to bigger monitors. I guess the only fix would be bringing a monitor along when moving, but that's definitely not a portable piece of hardware. Working on a laptop is definitely a different experience. I normally close the screen of my laptop and work on a monitor, and… -
Re: Level Editors and Game Engines, how do they store information?
You're welcome. Also there's the issue of multiple people editing the same file at the same time. Like a designer adjusting object placement in the level, while an artist is adjusting collision mesh attributes, and a programmer is implementing a new camera feature. They all need to touch the main level file to do their… -
Re: Planet Generator - Dots In Space
Yea, Substance is definately very powerful and much more versatile. Right now I mostly need quick and dirty very varied stuff. World Machine is pretty good in that regard. Still, I need more varation so I also plan to do more alienish and stylized landscape things in Zbrush. I also still need to figure out how to make… -
Re: Laptop recommendations?
Just to play devil's advocate here, I've been using an Alienware laptop for the last year and I've actually been pretty disappointed with it. It's noisy, kinda slow considering it's specs and I've had a lot of issues with the integrated graphics on it. Essentially you can choose which programs use the integrated vs the…
