If you're running direct3D: Make sure you follow step2 of this tutorial TO THE LETTER. http://3dsmax-indle.blogspot.com/2012/03/setup-blueprint-image-in-3ds-max.html Make sure after you restart that you go back into the viewport tab and click "configure driver" and set the "Background texture" and "Download Texture"…
Modelling looks solid to me, I'm not expert but there's nothing glaring to me! I don't know how literal you want to be with the viking aspects but spear seems odd to me, the shape of the tip (it looks like it's barbed for fishing but this is quite different to a viking fishing spear…
Each of those methods is possible, for a hardware cost in the neighborhood of $500. Nvidia makes shutter glasses that work with certain 120hz monitors and projectors. You need a compatible nvidia GPU with a dual-link DVI port. If you have such a GPU, you can buy the glasses and monitor bundled. eg:…
I'm looking at one posting right now with the description "I need a model of an iPhone 4g with textures.Like the model in the attachment. I will need it an .obj format." To me that could range from; a chamfered box with bitmaps; to clean game ready model with normals/specs; to a highpoly film ready model with 2048 tga…
If you are going to render 500 of the same mesh at different positions, rotations and scales then technically all you need is 1 mesh data in memory. That doesnt mean that is the best way to render the objects though. These days its generally much better to batch static meshes into compound meshes which can be rendered in 1…
700 a lot? In crysis I read that even if I make lods and I hit 300 k useless I make less poly couse the engine woudl spend more memory loading further lods than actually gaining any advantage by meshes under 300 , an average tree model in crysis has around 1000 polys , jungle trees arrive actually to 2000 , I was planning…
This is some crazy shit, drop your computer budget down to $2000, and then another $500-1000 for monitor(s). Anything beyond that is absolutely nuts. From the specs it looks like you're building a server, not a personal computer, what reason could you possibly have to spend so much on a system? If you spend $2k its…
At first glance, you see 3d printer and $100. Sounds great! Except not.... This uses resin. Resin that is actually extremely toxic AND expensive. Although the printer itself may be cheap, a tub of resin can run you $500. Im not totally usre how much you can get out of that, but it's definitely way more expensive than the…
1) Defiantly want an i5 or an i7 out of the new Skylake line. If you are doing lots of 3d or multitasking type stuff, get the i7. 2) 500 W is plenty for your power supply. Think of getting a gold certified better power supply if you plan to run your computer most of the day. If you plan to ever run more than one card,…
