No doubt. the key there is "if you know what you are doing". Most people have no idea and just go with whatever their bank tells them is a good deal, which is almost always not in their favor and laughable. That combined with the average persons lazyness where they cant even be bothered to read a book or 2 on the subject,…
I remember when Apple came out with an iPad a few years back (perhaps the original?), and their marketing line was 'Who needs a stylus?'. Edit - lol: [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YY3MSaUqMg[/ame] Personally, I still have zero need for an oversized mobile phone that cannot make phone calls. I'd like to add that…
Hello guys, First of all Happy new year to every one. @Stavaas Yes indeed, I did removed all the stains of the first scene, and I removed some more in the second scene. I will try to improve some other stuff like you said on this scene, cause there is a lack of detail. @Dweenietodd Thanks for the kind word and the follow…
now you're talking, i see something really cool coming up ;) i think you shouldn't be distracted by the messy hair in the back they might give you trouble later although this is how they are in original images i see, but some guys have found decent solutions. Her hair are held loose and up and fall kinda freely on the…
from wiki so its super reliable "The amounts of helium-3 needed as a replacement for conventional fuels should not be underestimated. The total amount of energy produced in the 21H + 32He reaction is 18.4 MeV, which corresponds to some 493 megawatt-hours (4.93x108 W·h) per three grams (one mole) of ³He. Even if that total…
I've played through it twice (once when it came out in 2004, and then again in 2007). Over time it has lost some of it's visual luster, but I can't think of a single "realistically" rendered game that will be able to withstand the test of time. It's usually the more cartoony or 2d games that are able to do that). The…
[ QUOTE ] You will pretty much want to read this: http://www.behardware.com/articles/619-1/updated-survey-13-lcd-20-5-6-8-16-ms.html It's a bit dated, but it lifts comparing out of the realm of nutty numbers stated by manufacturers. tokido, Your dell probably has an IPS panel, it's a little slower, but your screen doesn't…
sonic: a large volcanic eruption (like Mount Pinatubo in 1991) lowers the Earth's temperature by 9/10ths of a degree. so that's 7/10 of a degree on top of losing 9/10. from Wikipedia: [ QUOTE ] This very large stratospheric injection resulted in a reduction in the normal amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface by…
I dunno if this actually has much to do with the schooling vs the individual. I feel like I got a good enough education, it's my own fault if I haven't been good enough or put enough work in to have succeeded more up to this point. I graduated with 9 others in our art program and I think all but 3 have found professional…
Hi EQ - just wanted to mention that I am running into a very similar issue to the one highlighted earlier by Mdk : http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2012772&postcount=31 The scenario is very similar : a VMT which has a very high Specularscale of 15, and Specularcolor commented out : $SPECULAR_BLOOM_SCALE 0…
