That's a hard goal. Doable of course, but hard. I started using Modo 302 and it took me months of casual learning with the aid of Dan Ablan's book and dvd plus some Luxology (at the time) training videos. It's only when I got a long term work contract where I forced myself to use Modo 401 did I "get it". Zbrush took me…
Hehe, i`ve fixed the popeye issue. I also spent some time removing polies and fixing 5-or-more sided polies. I also removed a bunch in the face, without losing any shape at all.. just perhaps some animation possibilities. I also threw her into zbrush and made a rough sketch on how the armour should look, just to test if it…
They are both under-powered and overpriced for what they are, but that's the price you pay for those brands. Personally if I had to go mobile, I would go for the MSI gt75 titan 4k-247 ($4,400-ish) i9 9980HK (8 cores) 64gb RAM (up-to 128) 512 GB (2x) SSD (raid for speed) 1 TB HDD (platter drive for storage) The cooling in…
Yeah man, actually I do have a soft spot for LS!! and one is slowly growing for heavy bowgun and gunlance. I love setting up turret style and laying waste to some massive dragon face with my pew pews while hes running straight towards me. Or using wyvern fire of a powerful gunlance for that super-charge…
Personally I'm using hours of practise. Through completing 1 year at FZD you will get about 5000 hours of practise or about 13 hours a day average. I don't know anyone who can work 13 hours a day, for an entire year, by themselves (again not getting paid, just from your own passion). The 5000 hours is taken from students…
Thanks for these advices! Aside the consumer-level solution, I had a look at HP and Dell. HP z840 seem quite expensive compared to Dell Precisions. But there's no HP online configurator so I'm not sure. I made a Dell Precision t5810 configuration (without display) that might suit my needs: Intel® Xeon® E5-1620 v3 (4C, 3,5…
Yeah, I think that is true. I don't think I have put on a ton of muscle, but it is certainly there. I think it is not hard to maintain what you have even with when cutting back calories a lot, so long as you are fat and don't have much muscle to start with. Does anybody here jog? After jogging for a few months, I did a 10…
Hi, Here is my humble opinion. - 700 W alim is probably overkill ? A decent 500W is enough for an i5 2500k + 560 gtx. - The video card looks poor. I hardly see how you could play games and use 3dsmax with a fanless gddr3 50$ video card :s . - Proc is good but why not i5 2500 (2500k if you want to overclock it) ? I think…
I work a full time job and have been studying on the side for 2.5 years. My work only demands 8 hours of my day though, so studying at uni might require more time than that. If you decide to study 3D on the side, make sure you come up with a specific goal in mind, so you can figure out the exact things you need to learn.…
Yes, I want this gone too. I haven't even used 2011 yet, we're just about to make the switch to 2010 from 2008 at work. But someone showed me this on his laptop and I was aghast. Horrified, even. The first words out of my mouth were, "how do you disable that?" This is far worse than those f*n viewcubes. It sounds like you…
