anything with a retina style/HD screen, if you plan to use pdf based ebooks and art magazines. You'll have to zoom less to read small print fonts like annotations, picture commends, footnotes. For example I wouldn't recommend an ipad mini, or any device with a non HD screen if you want to read e-books like Vertex. I picked…
22 inch, it' wasn't completely horizontal, something like 30-45 degrees. It took several months to notice the issue, but the pain stopped the day I stopped using the Cintiq. Going back to a regular tablet I have to say I don't really buy Wacom's claims of productivity increase with a Cintiq. I've also used the much…
So you're telling me that...if you can color in the UV's you can make concept art? It doesn't work that way homie. You don't NEED to buy a tablet...it would be easier on you if you did...I mean...you still would need a tablet to do 3d things..like uhh...gee I dunno...ZBRUSH? Try using a mouse for that shit, you won't get…
can you even get a good quality (brand-new) CRT screen for comparable money these days? anyway, if you don't mind having a heavy and bulky room-heater with a flickering eye-ruining picture on your desk that constantly emits high-frequency noise, disturbs equipment (e.g. some wacom tablets), requires picture adjustment and…
Thank you both for the comments, much appreciated. I agree, and picked up a book on perspective the other day, and am trying to wrap my brain around it now. I'll be doing another round up of stuff this weekend, and see if anything improves based on that learning... Bounchfx: I wish I could paint! I checked out your…
Hey there. :) Yes the course started on Friday so it was a lot to take in. I'm doing the Concept Art & Illustration course fully online. So far, we learned a bit anout rendering and light and shadow and got a few asssignments. It's a lot of fun and the people are amazing. We have a class Discord group so i don't even feel…
Hi To all the people who remember me and to all the newer members. Back when living in washington state I gave up on 3d. I uninstalled my wacom, Photoshop, and Max. I never fininshed anything and and I never seemed to get any better, so why not? Now after being back in Indiana for over a year, I'm getting that urge again.…
Here is a link to shings i've done: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=56263 At this point i'm much more of a modeller than a texturer, until i get the money to buy a new pen for my wacom tablet. Starving artist and all. I can create next gen assets, normal maps, hir res models, and in game lower poly models. I…
Hello again everyone, This week I am posting a very personal piece. This painting started as a 15 mn. black and white quick pose in life drawing using my wacom, Painter and laptop setup. I came home and looked at it and thought that he looked like a dead king. The next morning I received a unexpected phone call informing…
Hey everyone, I finally decided to post my first model I am still learning a lot, but this is one of the first models that I really like how it turned out. It is just a low-poly penguin, designed for use in a strategy game that we have put on the back burner, so it is around 300 polys; not at home so I can't check. The…
