[ QUOTE ] My point was that it's a problem unique to his setup. It's not the reviewee making his stuff difficult to view, it's the reviewer having a funky system [/ QUOTE ] Its not a system but a codec thing, and the situation is like if it reboots with some i could fix it but then it wont show some other file and it only…
As gannonroader said something is overheating, but I have a feeling it's power that is missing. If the PC overheats it usually shuts down completely. You mentioned that it reboots but also mentioned that it shuts down. Does it do both? or a reboot? If it reboots, then it sounds to me that you don't have enough power from…
Yes sir! Those are soft stencil shadows. The renderer was practically rewritten entirely from what was seen on Doom3/Quake4/ETQW In fact, the Multiplayer is using the ETQW engine which is dramatically different in terms of rendering. Most notable difference is the use of a deferred rendering system, which allows for insane…
"I had assumed that XRefs were instances and that changing the object would change the instance in the scene" yes "and that changing the one in the scene would change the one it its own file." no. It's a one way ticket and anything you do to the xref itself, including grouping, linking, modifiers, trying to get at the…
bounch: it's like the difference between R and NC-17 in the movie system--there are plenty of horribly violent or sexual movies that probably would have made NC-17 easily, if some sort of public sentiment or ratings board turned against it. it's not really about the content, it's about whether or not they want it out…
Not dead yet, but intensely busy. I've been working on an entirely new system using ASP.Net MVC. I'm calling it project "Codicore" since the underlying Codex system can be applied to anything (3dCodex, 2dCodex, FoodCodex, whatever). Give me a few more weeks to keep cleaning this up. I think I might take some time this…
Yeah - it does seem kinda expensive, but think about it this way: Right now, if you want to create real-time shaders in Max, you need to learn to program in HLSL. How long would that take? 6 months? A year? Let's say you were really dedicated and you had 8 hours per day and it only took you two months to learn HLSL. If you…
ancient system? athlon's/pentiums 1,6 - 3 ghz. my own ps5.5, which offers no smoothing, is much more responsive, even on far slower systems below the 800mhz mark. it was so bad that i sold off my then brand new photoshop cs and it seems cs2 has only made it worse. the question should maybe be if you only tested performance…
Hey thanks for the overclocking links guys, I'm sure they will come in most handy! I put together what I would consider to be a great bang for your buck system (sans the monitor and input devices). Certain decisions were made based on the savings offered, which could very well change by the time I actually purchase and…
as far as I know mentalRay (company in berlin germany) works internally with the metric system (like many other physic based simulations), the people behind 3dsmax are living in canada and even there metrics are default: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada if I am not mistaken some mentalRay materials…
