Re: How many polys can 3ds max handle?
on 32bit XP i guess you'll hit the memory ceiling pretty quickly - 2GB of RAM per process if i'm not mistaken. max at work crashes "reliably" when it reaches that number - on a 3GB RAM system with the 3gig-switch set in the Boot.ini. if you work on hard surface stuff you'll most likely use the modifier-stack - symmetry,… -
Re: Thoughts on "DirectX 11"
Mixed feelings, I have to upgrade to Vista soon despite me being quite attached to XP. I suppose that everyone should move with the times, whether they like it or not. Using the latest tech has more advantages than drawbacks although alot of people say in the intial stages of release there are more drawbacks than… -
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company 2. What is your handle?
ah that explains it. Well that sucks, was hoping to get some xp :) Checked out the single player campaign, pretty cool so far. i LOVED the reference to modern warfare 2 in the chopper (cant remember what level it is) where sweets says about pussies with heartbeat sensors. :) the setting changes a lot, some really nice… -
Re: Extreme computer problem. Please help!
Is there a free registry fix program? I have looked, and the ones i have seen, only offer to scan for free, then you have to buy to fix. And also, that computer doesn't have access to the internet. When i got my wireless card, it came with a program to do it, and it is better then the stupid windows crap, and since no exe… -
Re: Looking for mini keyboard to use with cintiq
You are welcome! Nope the mini kb comes with no receiver. I picked up a bluetooth usb dongle for cheap on newegg, it works! As for the compatibility, the package only states mac OSes, nothing about windows. It does work tho, but it seems like mileage may vary. I can just confirm that it was hassle free on my XP Home32… -
Re: Laptop Question + Reintroduction
Thanks for all the helpful replies. Vig, unfortunately a desktop isn't an option given my housing situation, otherwise I'd bring along my old rig. I'm not looking for a monstrous, SLI laptop that has to be plugged into a wall to function, but at the same time I don't want my lightweight to slow to a crawl whenever I open a… -
HELP! UT3 / Graphics Problems
Any time I do something graphics intensive, like open the unreal 3 editor, or play a game. [Like TF2, counter strike, or TM nations] my computer freezes after doing one of these things for like 5-10 minutes. Any ideas? This sucks. I'm trying to do some work in the unreal engine and it keeps frezing and i have to restart. I… -
Insane Photoshop memory usage?
I'm using CS1 on XP SP3. Loading PS (fast enough) uses 185mb of memory. Opening a 6mb file with about 20-30 layers takes nearly half a minute (!!) and jumps the mem-usage to 500mb. Ok, wtf? I have: History states = 5. Scratch disk = non-startup (with plenty o space). Cache levels = 8 (dunno what it does anyways). Maximum… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag - MASTER THREAD
the app opens up with a dialog box for me, titled "darkest of days", no text, just "yes" and "no" buttons. clicking "no" quits instantly, a "yes" brings me to the blue menu screen. so far i didn't manage to display a model in the viewport of the mat editor - no matter if self-imported obj or one of the example weapons -…
