Re: Laptop Helpage
Necropost and Hijack! Sorry to bring this up but there are so many threads of laptops suggestions that I'd feel bad for creating a new one. I'm buying my very first laptop as I'm moving to Poland in a few months, and I'll use it mainly for 3D work. I saw your sugestion of the HP HDX16, but reading the portuguese HP site… -
Re: Aston Martin DB9

I'm pretty much there now really, there's just a few things left like the speedo… -
Re: Questions about Game mesh and retopo workflow
100k tris is fine for a main character in a game nowadays, but you should only use that as a loose goal and use as many tri's as you need to define a good looking mesh, which is very subjective. Main characters on console/pc will range from 30k to 200k this generation, depending on the game. As for topology, you are going… -
Re: Stylized Fantasy Town
Thanks Dan, the skylight worked like a charm! @DWalker, the beam situation has been fixed, thanks for pointing that out :P I'm going to do some chimney sketches next, and try to come up with a unique silhouette. Maybe a big chimney and a smaller version that I can sprinkle around. @Jamie, the roof is pretty expensive. I… -
Re: Sc-fi Outpost
Definitely a good start! For architectural assets it's always good to get a good combination of - modular pieces - that make use of trim textures and other tiling materials that you apply to mesh that make up the bulk of your buildings. - unique pieces - these are those small but very detailed props/features that you would… -
Re: dDo...new tool from Quixel
I have yet to see a single software which 'hyped' it's product, then took the speculation and brainstorm, and implemented in the final product. I mean just a single one! Not even Blender does this unless you donate money or make the plug yourself. I mean what is stopping me right now from saying this is an exact, but… -
Re: Assembling new rig!
I would go for the 2600/2700 honestly. Your CPU should be the most expensive part of your build, and you should always buy more CPU than you need, because it is generally not economical to upgrade your CPU later down the line. name bench price 2700k 9309 $309 2600k 9080 $289 2500k 6723 $219 8GB will be fine, but 16GB is… -
Re: You can sell guns in CG Trader/Turbosquid.. right?
As far as legality goes, as you are not the copyright holder of those brands and designs, you are not entitled to reproduce them. However, it is up to the company in question to enforce their copyright, which is to say tell you to stop doing it, generally with a cease and desist order, and if that doesn't work they can… -
Re: Aaron Morse; Portfolio pimp
Thanks to you both I apprecaite it :) . As I said previously Zac I can always count on you for advice <3 I was a little skeptical of having Skywarp on there. Having you both echo my own thoughts definitely tells me what to do. Really frustrated I don't have a 6'th piece to throw up there, but as the 'ole saying goes,… -
Re: Prop Tri Count question: UDK project
If this is for unreal, it doesn't matter if you are using soft lit translucency or a 1-bit masking shader in terms of texture memory. Storing an alpha channel converts a texture from DXT1 to DXT5 in UE3, and that doubles the texture's memory usage because of the way compression is handled. If you do split your alpha map…
