You can get some beta keys to play for the weekend right now, MMOhuts has about 2100 left right now. I don't have time this weekend so somebody can take my key. Once you get a key, sign up for an account here then sign in and click "Apply A Code" and enter in the code "6CD8-FKRY-TPYF-BSXZ-JPK4" without the quotes. You can…
Not too long ago, a good friend of mine by the name of Nicolas struck up a conversation with me about the general trend of online gaming. Sure, there were always big block buster titles to play, and yeah, they played well. But there wasn't really a lot to make each one stand out from the crowd amongst the rest. The phrase…
Not sure how much further I'm gonna take this one. I'm at 2158 triangles, which is a bit over my 2k limit. And, I ended up having to use two color materials due to poor planning. Does anyone plan on texturing their model?
1.9 should eliminate some of these issues that have persisted over the last couple of versions (like id mismatch issues) so I`d advise to wait until that has been released. Alpha transparency has no functionality that I am aware of in a color id map so I guess it's always a good idea to keep it completely opaque. legacy…
Well, I have been using Maya LT for a while now... For me, Ill be switching to steam version for sure. I already love what LT did for me in 2104 (assets for 2 games and starting my own venture now) and cant wait to use all the new things 2015 offers.

Like others have said, I would build a pc that costs only 1300-1500 bucks and upgrade/build a new one in 2-3 years. This way you get a lot more bang for the buck. But if you really want to spend your $4000 at once you could go with something like the following: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 3400 Mhz) -…
Yup, and unfortunately some of them do it looking for hand outs. My general rule to weed that out is if they regular post art than its good. Other than that pretty much what Crazyfool said, its awesome seeing a feed of just art. Here are some that I follow Here is a speed sculpting group…
Not really, no. For a start its 1080p, tabbing between things constantly isn't going to be super productive imo. Furthermore you aren't going to be able to fit a 2048x2048 texture 1:1 on screen lol. here's another dell, but with…
