Re: PC upgrade advice?
Replace the video card first, with a 700w power supply you should be good. Just make sure it can physically fit into the case you have. Some of those cards are pretty big. If your computer uses the swap disk a lot then add more memory. If you run a lot of heavy weight programs at the same time more memory is always good.… -
Re: Need advice for what direction to go in (UK)
Your folio says your a self taught recent graduate, that's confusing. Environment artists are the most in demand, They out number artists of other disciplines in a studio, but there are also 10 times more unemployed env artists than anything else too. If you wanna give yourself 100% to something then its the one you enjoy… -
Re: Computer Games and $$$
I noticed the warning about HL2 a local retailer glued on his door: Steam download versions will go live the very moment the first retail copy of HL2 is registered. If anyone manages to snag one ahead of time and registers it (using a proxy and an anonymous email address of course), all hell breaks loose. I'm waiting for… -
Re: Stable people unaffected by violent games
It goes like this... PC: Hi, I'm stable. Mac: And I'M GONNA STAB ALL THOSE FUCKERS. Linux: I'm gonna stand by and watch you two duke it out while I debate the politics of open source software. Might masturbate to a kernel build, too. (Edit: Hm, I should note that you can swap around PC and Mac as you like. Linux stays,… -
Re: ps2 asset budget help?
I wish I knew where this article was...explained it all. I haven't touched PS2 dev in over a year now, so I'm rusty :P The 'page' I'm referring to, is a page of memory cache. The PS2 has 4MB of video memory, which needs to be used for everything drawn on screen. UI, textures, tris, etc. The memory is split into blocks of… -
Re: Hard Drive Recovery Companies
there are only several brands of drives out there and all are pretty much in common use, so there's no 'one smaller' brand than another... I've gone through about 14 hard drives in the last 10 years, most thankfully retire after long hard, reliable service, but I've had drives from every make fail or go bad. maxtor was the… -
Re: # of sides on a barrel
Dangerously close to "How Many polygons In a Piece of String". Mojokey's personal rules are great idea. Another thing about lods to take into account is if its actually worth it to load and store and swap out another model that might be only saving a few more tris. I've read a few places that unless it shaves off 1/3rd of… -
Re: Space Yacht/Sports Lounge - UDK Environment
thanks for the quick reply n88tr! Yeah I am not an awesome lighting artist so most of the lighting I am sure will be swapped out after some more crits from fellow artists. Thee is too much purple right now for sure. As fas as other details, I will start posting the meshes I create in max to show off some of the hard… -
Re: My new site layout.
no need to use flash with mouse overs. if you are using dreamweaver its easy to do. it basically just swaps images when you roll over them. Thats what I did on my site. It can be done with text as well. I am assuming that the title area and header all the way to where the blue meets the dark gray will not move and will be… -
Re: [Portfolio] Mark Abadier, Environment Artist.
Hey nice portfolio. I have to agree with everyone else, the mushroom town is killer, but the Cat 3 pieces are a little weak. I went to AI - Chicago and I know how working with a team of people with different skills can be. Overall I think your portfolio is pretty solid and maybe you can swap out the Cat 3 pieces with…
