Hi all, long time lurker. I looked around and found some examples of someone attempting this in Blender (in like 2007) but no recent examples. Here's where I'm at: I wanted to see if it would be possible to quickly bake something very complex (like FiberMesh fur/hair, for example) to a fur shell. The idea would be that…
i notice that there's no hardware forum anymore. i guess that's for the best. i've saved up some cash and i'm seriously considering buying a top of the line comp. nothing too hardcore. i'm going to put a geforce 7800 in it, and a decent processor (i'm considering an amd 3800 dual core) but not hardcore to the point of an…
Hey all. I'm looking at getting myself a new laptop. I'm wondering what peoples experiences are using a MacBook for creating 3D. Mainly 3Ds Max i know it cant run on OSX so you have to use a dual boot. <<<< I use quite a bit of VRay so render things off, will this be effected by running in boot camp? I also understand that…

Hi! I just had a few questions on taking a high poly model and transferring the details to a low poly model. I'm trying to understand and learn how to efficiently do hard surface modeling in ZBrush using Zmodeler, so i decided on starting with a simple barrel and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm building this model to be…
I personally dont think its very good, but im willing to start over possibly and make Ezio or something. The more and more i went back to http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=78284&highlight=assassins+creed to think of ideas i felt mine looked worse and worse.

Hey guys! =D I've been slowly upgrading my pc, and now I feel the time has come... yes it has COME! For my gpu ^^ With third party coolers comming (and showing good results), the choice lay between the gtx 780 or the r9 290. The r9 290 looks a clear winner with 1gb extra and generally pulling ahead in charts, but I had…
