i just got this puppy.. http://www.pctorque.com/3880.php and it really rocks.. its handled evrything i have thrown at it without missing a beat.. was working on 4 differnt max files.. so i had 4 copies of max open and photoshop with 4 different textures.. also one of the copies of max was always rendering and still out…
Nope just your file association. Reinstalling would probably fix it but that's a little extreme. You could right click a max file and choose "open with" then choose "choose default program". Browse to the 3dsmax.exe and make sure to check on "always use the selected program to open this kind of file". It will switch the…
I use both hotmail and gmail and must say that hotmail is very lacking compared. it doesn't even save attachments to sent messages. the arguement that it's free is unjust, because users are bombarded with advertising that hotmail makes a mint off. (I'm not sure how popular ie7 will be because they can't "push" it onto…
All I can say is what my personal experience has been: I bought a new laptop, just a cheap one to do some stuff on the go, so nothing fancy, 1 gig of ram, etc. I tried using Vista (which came installed on it) for at least a month, and after constant frustration with how slow it was and not being able to run some of my…
Per - I checked out that Asus board out and it looks pretty good. I went with a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 on my new rig. It had great reviews on New Egg and has solid caps. Using the 8600 as well since it seemed to have the most bang for the buck at the time. Running a dual boot of vista ultimate x64 and XP pro x32. Currently…
I've been researching this issue like crazy the last few days but can't figure it out. I have two computers with 3ds max 2010 installed on both machines. My machine with vista ultimate 64, 8gb memory and a 9800 gx2 512mb video card performs worse than my XP 32bit, 3gb memory and a 6800 256mb video card. Both machines are…
I also posted this on gameartisans but I'm pretty desperate to get this figured out asap. ==================================================================== Ok so my comp crapped out last night I'm thinking it could be the hard drive. However, if the problem is worse I'll be looking at a new comp. I'm looking into…
Hi i have just bought: Low res character production from Eat3D and i was checking the DVD out and tried opening the final render out of the low poly but Max gives me a file error and does not open the file i even tryed merging it into the scene and it does not respond why? i am running a 32 bit OS XP i checked for error…
I'm having issues with foliage flickering/sparking in my camera sequences (it's fine in still shots). I have a lot of foliage (grass, leaves, plants etc. using alot of alphas) and the sequence looks like shit. My thoughts were that this was mip map related. (My knowledge of mip mapping is limited to what is on the pc…
I love my Dell XPS M1710 gaming notebook, so I was extremely upset when the graphics card - an nVidea GeForce Go 7950GTX - had a meltdown, especially since it's just out of warranty (isn't it always). This nVidea thread details the issue I've been having, but basically I've only been able to get vga graphics in safe mode…
