Re: VR Headset - Which one is the best ?
Doing VR development, I have a ton of headsets. For the money, the rift S is my favorite. The visual quality is a big step forward from the original rift and its relatively comfortable. The controllers are functionally the same as the original touch controller but the build quality isn't quite as nice. The big thing is the… -
Re: UMP 45
Do you have reference images for the UMP? If not, jump on google and see where and how those things wear, since plastic can be tricky (for me anyway :P). I'd build a whole library of reference so I have options to draw inspiration from. Also, a little presentation nitpickery, my screen, and probably most other widescreens,… -
Re: Curvature maps and gradient maps for hard edge bakes
As i posted above, I use xnormal for bake, i.e. in this case im testing its curvature map feature. The fact that it depends on raycasting like AO, I did a test and at full quality it takes as long as an AO bake which is not what I want (40mins+ for 4x 1024, 300 rays, etc) I'm running max 2013 and there doesn't seem to be a… -
Re: Hardware Questions, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Ask The Community.
Hey Zac, Thanks for the quick reply! I have found a case I like, I picked up the CoolerMaster 120 today, mainly because of its support of full sized GPUs, and on that note I'll definite stick to Nvidia, as I hear that is pretty much standard at this point, and I had a gtx480 which I liked alot. As far as budget, I couldn't… -
Re: how high is too high of polycount
I have rigged things before, but nothing with this much detail so I'm trying to give it a go so I can have some solid portfolio work. Also the images I attached are a model I exported after doing the "T POSE MASTER" in zbrush, so its got about 32k. But when I export each sub tool separately into maya, its got 18k, and it… -
Re: version 1.2.3
I would say it goes like this... Going from version 1.0 to version 2.0 is a brand spanking new version that excites the user with tons of new features, a new look, etc... Going from 2.0 to 2.1 is a major bug fix or adding a new feature that is useful. Going from 2.1 to 2.11 is like a tiny little overlooked flaw that got… -
Re: New Tablet on Cyber Monday -- recommendations?
I ended up getting a small size Intuous Pro, refurbished older version. Was only $10 more than the express remote at $120. I'd definitely recommend it. You wouldn't know it's not a new model, and it has a 2 year warranty anyway. Model PTH-451 has the smooth surface, no issue with nibs wearing down, control is a lot tighter… -
Re: Abundance of talent wasted ?
Well nothing bad about trying to find a job doing stuff you are good at... What I really find much more distrubing is the incredible amount of great game-art that is showcased here on Polycount on a daily basis and all that happens to it is to rot away on someones portfolio (or harddrive until an accident happens)! Why not… -
Re: Is 3d Coat worth it?
Hm I was only arguing your your point that.. I do agree that the painting could be improved and that they should closely look at other competitors. Anyways, to get back on point. I think a good freelance software layout would be.. Blender - I have not actually used it though.. Can someone weigh in on if you can actually… -
Re: Which PC suits me?
i went for a SATA-600 hdd and that's a marked improvement over the SATA-300's. and for a 1tb hdd it was only £50. sure windows boot speeds and application launches will be faster on an SSD. but i boot from cold to application launch in windows (you know, when you can actually DO stuff) in 12 seconds. and max takes 4…
