I don't have any experience with getting dual monitor output from a laptop, but what it really seems like you want is a workstation, in which case I would recommend not getting a laptop. Bear in mind the 860 in the Y50 is the mobile version, which is about as fast as a 465 or a 560 non-ti, a very good card for a laptop but…
/\ true MasterOfTheFork: but if you want more work and only have that client available you kind of want the projects and money to keep rolling In. Shaper: You can't tell what they will do with what you give them especially if you give them parts of models that can be interchangeable they will always find a way to make what…
Yo! Cool to see you're pushing yourself to learn maya and new things :) . Characters interacting is not easy, so I would advise you to start small. Don't make it a long elaborate fight, focus on one big moment in the fight and end it. Maybe just a killing blow of some kind after a block, something like that. Of course it's…
Ok so have been really looking at the approach I took to this Project and I've decided to reflect on some mistakes ive made. 1. Planning And Sticking with the plan. So when I started this off i planned on doing just a bust, and all my thumbnails and sketches I drew were geared towards that, and the reference i collected…
Hey, thanks for the comment! The original design was just me trying to find a silhouette that I thought looked cool, but now I kind of have a sense of how the weapon would actually "function", although it's probably not that clear just from the design alone. I will probably need to create some schematics and flavor text…
Attending all 5 days: I think on Monday-Tuesday there are student orientated workshops. Weds-Fri is usually when the expo itself is open, but you can see the expo floor in a few hours on one day, you don't need all 3 days for it. Friday is usually a half day for the expo and is when a lot of people leave. So if you're…
Well, I've certainly pirated my fair share of games in my life. I did some as far back as middle school, just in the fact that someone would copy wolfenstein to a 3.5" floppy and pass it around, but I'd say actual piracy started in College. There are two reasons I see for this. 1) I was poor, as all of my money went…
Thank you! I do have some minor prior experience with a range of 3d apps and with Blender specifically. The most suitable element I found in Blender to do the job is the curve but I fail to produce an intersected curve which is crucial for my needs. Or in other words: I can`t manage to create a forking curve... Tried…
Neat work. I tried scrolling Romeck's X feed to find the specific concept you're working from, but couldn't find it? It would be a good idea to drag-n-drop the concept into your OP, just so people can understand where you're going, and so we can provide relevant feedback. Are you seeking feedback? Also, what's the end…
Hello Polycount! Here is an article/tutorial I wrote yesterday and basically it's about creating a turbulent-like movement for particles without using a vector field or similar. It felt better reposting it here rather than just linking to my website (good or bad idea? layout got worse). I'd love to hear your thoughts, if…
