Long story short, my windows partition on my hardrive has gotten corrupted. The partition itself seems fine, but my back up Windows wants to reformat it even though it is NTFS. Partially luckily I keep all my programs and most files on other paritions. That and a "pure" copy of XP for emergencies (such as this). This drive…
what i meant about multiple high res meshes is that you can load several meshes and bake from them at the same time. wrt: the multiple texture sets thing. are you getting enough texel density on a single 4k map to represent the detail you need? how long do your bakes take? how responsive is painter when working on a…
Thanks for the replies. Kevin: After looking closer, I agree with you. I am going to try and match those colors closer and make them less saturated. DiminishedSelf: You're right , the Gulf and Texaco signs don't make much sense, I think I am going to change the pumps to Gulf signs. As far as the frontier gas sign, I didn't…
Not sure if you're still shopping about, but I have a suggestion. I just recently picked up a Sharp Aquos LCD for a second display just for gaming mainly out in the living room. The one I'm suggesting in particular is the Sharp Aquos 32" LCD: Model LC-32GP1U. I had spent quite a bit of time researching a bunch of LCD and…
I visited Fheng Zhu School of Design earlier this year as part of a study tour and met some of the students working there. Here are a few things I learnt about the school: 1) It's extremely hard & competitive The guys there say they work on their skills 20 hours a day 7 days a week. Take a moment to take that in. For a…

I just had an epiphany this night and decided to redo all node graph and got able to get it working 100% (i'm really enjoied this challenge, thanks to @.Wiki and @RN for the colaboration). I'm gonna list here my step-by-step to document my progress. Main issue: I was using the same corrector for Left and LeftUp, and that…
SSD+Win7 will add a nice noticeable difference to the overall "snappiness" of your system, I did that with my Intel Q6600/8gb system(was using xp 64 previously) Upgrading to 8GB is a good idea too, esp if you're going to win7 64 bit. I would do SSD+Win7+new ram as a "quick fix" but you're still going to be looking at a…
Also, I've been drinking tonight. Anyone want to take bets if I can keep up my amazingly good typing skills? Sorry, skillz? I'm glad you guys are digging the decision to do our own thing from here on out. It's unfortunate that some people at other forums think it was childish for us to do this. While I respect their…
Thanks guys. Ok so I checked out Silo. First impressions were that the modeling tools are indeed very good, very fast and very intuitive. I was also pleasantly surprised by the UV tools, and those retopo tools are incredible! However, it crashed 5 times in the hour or so I used it, twice when I was mirroring something and…
