Hey guys. They day after buying a traditional tablet I saw a Refurbished Cintiq 16 and decided to cancel my previous order and go with that + a future-proof ergotron. I was worried about the erogtron minimum weight but there was nothing to worry about, it works flawlessly and it will allow me to upgrade some day to a…
How are you all getting on? We have 43 guys taking part, 8 teams and they are all beavering away "16 hours left". One of the hard core lecturers is looking after them for 48 hours straight and sleeping under a desk. I am popping in so he can go have a swim and freshen up while I see how I can help the students. A big thank…
The major news networks in the US are particularly bad because of market-driven news cycles and the networks efforts to appeal to an increasingly divided political spectrum. There are legitimate, important news stories Fox covers well that the other networks have at best refused to touch - first to mind is the…
Yo, looking good so far buddy.

I have fiddled with many modifiers and…
Are you sure about that? I thought if a mesh has multiple material IDs then it has to be redrawn for each unique material essentially increasing the draw count by the number of unique materials? I'm pretty sure that's the argument for why it's always more performant to use a single texture atlas than multiple materials on…
Thanks for everyone who helped place notes! They were really helpful! Here is how far I got with this piece! Any critique's is always appreciated! But I don't see coming back to work on these piece for a little while. As I only have 1 computer and waiting for renders while doing nothing is insanely boring ha . . ha-ha…
Your normal map looks wrong because you have too many hard edges/smoothing groups, and you have't split your uv islands up at the hard edges (this is required to get a clean normal map). Easiest fix is to simply reduce the number of hard edges that you're using and rebake. The shading doesn't need to look perfect without…

I have done contracting work as a sole proprietor and as an INC company (computer technician). My numbered company lets me write off all kinds of things, including some…
