Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
Great progress so far everyone! :) Spoon - i try to think about what i need to do first, then try moving on to making basic patterns that tile. Meaning i duplicate subtools a lot and arrange them around to make a pattern. I then drop the tool into 2.5 and tile it. Pick up the alpha, project that alpha into a plane and use… -

Re: File management
I work in Blender, and I really hate Blender's file load/save dialog, so my filenames start out with something like NewShapes.blend and just to get the dialog to pass faster I just type gibbersih because I can't read the damn thin little editbox for the filename and I don't want a conflict with an existing earlier file and… -
Re: Green Lantern
I'd give Green Lantern 2.5 stars out of 5. Some bad editing in places, poor pacing in other ( ), some bad cg in a ton of spots. Half the time Hal was a floating head because the shot was obviously done on a green screen. The shots on Oa had nice cg but then Hal's head comes flying into view. Or the romance scenes between… -
Re: Latest Blender build??

Recently though the stuff people are producing on it has definitely started to… -
Re: Macbook vs. PC
I have the 13" Macbook and have no problem running both Windows, and OSX. I make super high res stuff in Zbrush without any problems and can run CS3 just fine.

Re: New PC
Vig, have you thought of building a RAID setup for high speeds with larger amounts of data? I was just thinking, 4 drives in a RAID5 setup would be pretty speedy too. 4 of these would set you back $320 + a controller and would give you 3x ~60 mpbs write and 3x ~80mbps read, coming out at 1.9TB 240/180 versus your 0,13TB… -
What's a good Screen for working with Blender?
I need a new screen and was thinking about getting something around 32 inches for better overview. But I am a bit confused about all the Specs like VA/IPS Panels, Mini-Led, Hz >145 etc. I know more Hz is great for gaming/motion and 100sRGB etc. is good for graphic design but it seems like a screen for Animation should be… -
River Village Environment (UE5) 90% Done and need some professional input!
