Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
I bet that anyone who turns out to be good at art after some practice/focus was born with that ability anyway, they just had not discovered it yet. if you are on polycount knocking out nice work then you are doing yourself a dis service if you think that just anyone can do that or that you don't have any kind of gift. kind… -
Re: No Maya LT 2018?
I'm going to guess that Valve's cut on subscriptions wasn't working out for them, considering they have their own service that doesn't layer extra DRM on top. They could be waiting on siggraph, when they usually announce a new maya. This thread caught my eye today, I've seen AD reps taking in comments when it comes to… -
Re: A few problems I have with 3ds Max 2012
Just got Max 2012 installed, and having issues where I see vertices behind a poly which is annoying as hell. I did switch out of the nirtrous renderer but actually then couldnt see any vertices at all. Not really having fun with this new version though they did seem to fix a few things. Uodated my vid drivers (gtx 280… -
Re: Obama's address to Congress
Sorry, but I think this pretty much sums up why we're in the shitter. 60% of our money is spent on MILITARY operations. Unbelievable. 7% for Education & social services?? 5% to Healthcare?? 3% to Science & Tech?? I understand the need to stay on top of defense technology, but what cost? Seriously, chop 30% off defense… -
Re: Change of direction for me!
Skamberin: I'm offended, those chrome balls are huge I'd like to point out, that Andreas should be perfectly fine with the art Haz produces, he watches Game of Thrones which is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar worst than anything Haz has produced. I'd like to know how many more of the "Haz Haterz Club" are in the same boat as Andreas -… -
Re: Workstation tips
Awesome thanks, I'm going to look into that. I've got a 3TB NAS (with room for more), but I'm currently paying for the 1TB/$10/m google drive account, so I'm only baking up the *really* important stuff remotely which I regret. It would be great to use a service that scales, with google I've got to jump to the 10TB/$100/m… -
Re: re going rate for outsourcing in china/india
The key word there is decent outsource studios. However, you can't win a wage war against the sweatshops unless you like eating cold soup by the light of a candle. Your day rate is probably the day rate for a team of 5 artists over there for the less reputable studios. The best thing to do to compete against el-cheapo… -
Re: House Rejects Bail out
I thought about mentioning this in the "does voting matter thread", l but it seems a better fit here. I think the best way to show an oppressive government you are unhappy with the services they are rendering is to move someplace else. Unlike a lot of other countries that have real capital (ie, factories), most of US… -
Re: Images won't display.
I have a new laptop and no images on Polycount unless they have been hosted on imgur. It’s strange as the images on Polycount are working on my tablet, phone and old PC? Maybe it’s a Windows 10 issue? I have tried so many fixes so in the end I have Dell (the computer manufacturers) looking into it this weekend as my new… -
Re: Brand New Smart Phone Help!
I know you mentioned it in your initial post, but I'm kind of surprised the EVO isn't available there. It may be because they can't even keep them in stock in the states. Any chance of jumping over to the US to buy one? ;) I'm not too familiar with how Canada gets cell services, but if you tend to get UK released phones,…
