didn't realize the second one came out today! I'm actually considering a surface pro 1, since the price difference is massive between the pro 2 and the cintiq.. plus I want to make sure I'm actually going to use and enjoy painting on the go, with the semi-gimped touch controls instead of a keyboard. Gonna see if I can find…
My answer is somewhat different, because it's very dependent on being a "chicken or the egg". You have to post art and people judge you off that, but I never saw my art as representing my skills but rather, my ideas. A recent example is when I made a thread with some PS1 screenshots. I don't actually rate myself as only…
kewop - thanx for the feedback. Yeah, the back of it i was thinking of alpha that out. i just noticed it doesnt look right at all. My aplogies. I am casting using material ids. So i got under control what is casting on top of what. Not sure why this came out the way it did. One question i do have, is i got the break pad,…
Yea they suck BAD... and we have two giant publicly funded monuments to their medicority taking up our skyline. Replace the Alaskan way viaduct? Nope. Replace the sea wall that protects the city? Nope. Replace the 520 floating bridge so it doesn't fall apart or traffic doesn't suck? Nope. Replace the nations oldest and…
I dunno - they've got a more recent foundation so it's more likely to be more stable and streamlined for including new features. They will never be able to get into the same market share as Max / Maya / XSI if they don't include the features needed to make it a full-featured development application. Right now it's pretty…
Take a look here. It seems pretty unappealing to me. 50% is a hefty price to pay to sell your stuff, especially given the fact that I don't think many people actually buy assets on Turbo Squid. Your profit would be minimal, at best. "Q: What is my royalty percentage? A. For products priced $500 or more, you receive 55%,…
Both my 500 gig mybook and my 160 gig passport shit out on me... I shoulda learned after the passport but didn't realize how epic of a fail WD was (though obviously you either get a great drive or one that dies after 3-6 months). 1 TB fantom drives are on sale right now though, very tempting:…
Vague much? Definitions of what you mean by 'best', 'low poly' and 'workflow' would help. Best: Fastest? Most logical? Produces cleanest results? (In any case, there's generally no best, especially between different artists) Low poly: 500 or so as seen in the low poly thread, or just general 'real time' which these days…
I own two Dell precision workstations, and i am very happy with Dell, the support is great. I had an issue with the graphic card in one of the workstations (a quadro fx one), i called the support and i had a newer one in my house one day after. Dell is not a bad brand. I have ran problems of hardware in too many computers…
Ive always wondered why they even bothered with character customisation as a) you rarely study anyone other characters face and b) they usually tend to end up with the same gear for the same class, so you are a drone with 500 to 500,000 looking the same as you anyway. Look at APB they spent so much freaking time on the…
