What i found helpful when it came to video card performance is to look at the current card naming conventions. For example you have the Nvidia 400 line which is the 450, 460, 470 and the 480 and then you have the current top of the line Nvidia 500 cards 550, 560, 570 and 580. With naming conventions like this i presume the…
Hold off a little longer on a 560ti! There is supposed to be a new 560 version soon, ( GF110 like 570/580 instead of GF114 ) This way you get that 570 ish performance so Nvidia can get rid of their 110 die's before Kepler makes them obsolete. And since Nvidia doesn't have any other new Mojo fer X-mas besides Lightboost and…
Hi, I'm new to Polycount and have used Maya for around 6 months now and encounted a problem, I've recently bought a new computer with the GeForce GTX 570 in it and got Maya installed on it,and as I turn High quality rendering on, I get this error: " // Warning: High Quality Rendering mode is not supported by the graphics…
Im also modeling a mossberg shotgun, though i am modeling the 590, not the 500. The only real major difference being the 590 is the militarised version of the 500. Umm do you have the specifications for it? I currently cant find any and need the thickness of the stock(part that sits against shoulder), length of the frame…
i just put together mine with the help of our IT guy. here's what i ended up with i7-960 3.2GHz 4 x 256KB 8MB Quad-Core ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 2 G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB GTX 560 Ti Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB We went back and forth between the 560 and the 570. The highest 560 seemed comparable to the lowest…

Artstaion: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4B6a4 The purpose of this project was to render a 3D asset into a photograph I took. The car wasn't a vehicle I modelled rather I downloaded from someone else 'Rex Fu' https://grabcad.com/rex.fu-1 To get the lighting I started with some photogrammetry for the ground and then…
Thanks, i fixed up the coloring of the axe so that its more defined, not really sure what you meant by diffuse though? (Sorry im new to the whole modelling/photoshop) I kind of thought that too but not really sure how i would go about making it more sturdier without having to recolour the entire axe again :( Hmm i might be…
If you're a 3D artist in need of a new computer, or just want to upgrade an old one, this is the thread for you! Building a PC can get very expensive, and many simply don't know enough about computers to make an informed decision on what to buy. This thread aims to help those who are less tech savvy, or whose knowledge is…
