Which is better for rendering Quadro K620 or Radeon R9 280?
I have a Radeon R9 280 in my custom built PC but I find rendering animations in Modo quite time consuming I have a complex scene animation and it took me 16 hours to render. Would a Nvidia Quadro K620 render animations faster and be better for 3D modelling applications? I know that the K620 is a budget Quadro card but… -
Re: Proper Ways to Study? (Not as stupid as it sounds?) :|
I'd argue that 20-24 is around about the ideal time to start. (I was 21) If I remember back when I was 16-18, I only did things because that's what I was told to do my whole life as opposed to me telling myself to do things. If I tried game art at 16 I probably would have given up 2 weeks later because of the lack of self… -
Re: Recomendation for camera to shoot own textures
Thanks, what about this camera here? Is has 3x optical zoom and is a m34 camera. I have never owned a camera with interchangeable lens before so this is new to me but I understand that its all in the lens from what I'm seeing. I don't want to go too crazy money wise. I wish I could though.… -
Re: Computer Games and $$$
Hmm, Doom3 is even more expensive in NL? Here, about 50-100km from the Dutch border, Doom3 was 54 in the beginning but is now down to 44... 16 is quite a bit (ok we have only 16% sales tax not 19%). Anyways I forgot to add, that these Asian versions are completly in English, not some localized product. About the… -
Re: How Do You Get a High Res Clean Bake
Racing games generally never have bakes on car body panels. The issue isn't because of workflow or time savings. The issue is that normal maps lack the precisions to make totally clean reflections on something like a car. You need a fairly high texel density to represent all those small panel gaps well and if you are stuck… -
Re: The Sedentary Life Of A Dev: Staying healthy in the workplace?
I completely agree with that. Back in my WoW days in high school I'd sit at my computer all day and drink 8-16 cans of soda a day with maybe a Gatorade and no water. Although I still sit at the computer most of the day, I drink 120-200 ounces of water a day which is a ton for getting no exercise and maybe drink four 8… -
Re: Iphone Biplane racing game -art test
too many small details, remeber the res you will be renbdering at. my advice, render out t that res and i think you will find that its too busy and a simpler design in the texture would read much better Also drawing at 16 or 8 x res means that you wont have an optimised texture sheets, and all you straight lines will get… -
Re: stock tips
Been doing the stock market for a long time now. Yes you do need to invest a good chunk of change to see a really good return. I bought some Baidu stock last yr which is the Google of search engines in China. The stock split and picked it up at a good price. LinkedIn is set to go public May 19.… -
Re: Sketchbook: RedRogueXIII
The Gyrojet is pretty simple in terms of modelling complexity, so I'm looking to take on more complex subjects. Here's a Beretta CX4 Storm, it's not done yet, but it's getting there. I'll take suggestions for challenging guns to model. Well any hard surface subject that exists in real life. Next I'm thinking something… -
Re: Crayon physics game
Thought it would be interesting to post up some of my less efficient victories: Level 8 - 20 Shapes (Last Flag was a pain) Level 10 - 35 Shapes (Didn't notice those two boxes moved until the end. . .) Level 11 - 16 Shapes And one of my MORE efficient victories Level 13 - 6 Shapes Stuck on 15 atm. Can't figure out how to…
