I switch a few month ago from 3ds max and all i can tell you is that it took me around 3 month to be back up to speed with every aspect of my production need in game development. Modeling is second to none in Blender and i thought 3ds max was fast but Blender coupled with a 3d mouse+ wacom and the paid addon pie menu…
Great write up. Thanks for putting this all together. I now refuse to ever take another art test. Pretty much for the same reasons as outlined in your post. But also I was handed a test to do, without ever being considered due to relocation / Visa. Another was a test I did for a studio that handed it to me, but I read on…
Push. Been having this problem since i started using marmoset with 3.04 i think. Toolbag crashes when auto reloading high or low poly meshes. Its not happening always, but enough to be annoying, sometimes breaking the file so i have to setup a new one. Also i cannot seem to figure out any reproducible case. Here are a few…
You might be baking with different settings than what the 3D viewer is expecting. By that I mean there are a lot of different ways to bake and interpret normal maps and not every baker does it the same way and not every viewer is expecting the same results.

I think the Xeon is a bad idea, but I am not as technically minded as to explain exactly why, so research could be important. (I was told by someone technical I trust, but it was awhile ago and I don't think I could repeat it accurately. Personally I would go with the i7, just get the processor you want but with the 'K' on…
Hmm... I just ran this: import win32com.client psApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Photoshop.Application") psApp.Open(r"G:\test.psd") # Opens a PSD file doc = psApp.Application.ActiveDocument # Get active document object layer = doc.ArtLayers[0] # Get the bottom-most layer layer.AdjustBrightnessContrast(20,-15) # Bright +20,…

i would not get the 4850x2 i have heard nothing but bad things about that card, 4770's in crossfire would be a better bet, or even 4850's in xfire. That's if you want ati. I have 4850's in xfire and they are rock solid, beat the snot out of my old 8800gts. The Nvidia 260 core 216 is also a rock solid card in single or sli…
