Re: Piracy...
That's a strange argument... You're talking about a person who you know to spend $60 on a game. But compare the target market of people who are willing to spend $60 on a game. Now compare that to a target market of people who are willing to spend $30 on a game. Seems obvious to me that the $30 market is a hell of a lot… -
Re: New Conan The Barbarian (Movie) Footage!
Ok so I too feel kinda odd about the superkid aspect of it. I mean, I am all for respecting the original material but in a way this just look too ... staged, if you see what I mean. If a kid has such strong skills I would expect the visual style of the movie to reflect it, almost in a Sin City way - Showing the "berserk"… -
Re: Videogames and Pirating
People in Australia pirate because of the insanely high prices we are forced to pay here. In short, games are double the price of the games of that of the US. The dollar has changed now dramatically, but back when the AU dollar was at almost 90 USD, games here in most stores remained around $90-120 RRP. Compared with games… -
Re: Nasty AO results with Max 2008
I don't have Max near me, but my workflow for setting up an MR render is as follows; Set your renderer to Mental ray (duh) Apply an ambient occlusion pass to your diffuse of the material Samples anything from 100-300, spread around 2.5 Right click on your lowpoly, properties -> object ID should be a positive number, we''ll… -
Re: help with new gaming system
yeah check out the prices of the quad cores on newegg. You can get one for around 300 now i think. Just shop around. You can get some crazy deals here and there. I can't recommend the xfi sound card enough. My wife got me the fatality one a few years back and man the difference is amazing. The crystalizer is a huge bonus.… -
Re: Max 2010 - Performance
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
I didn't notice any slowdown with 2010 on my machine. Right now I've got a 950k scene and I'm getting around 120 fps rotating the view around. It drops to around 40 if I enable edged faces for everything and to 75 with a sub-object selection, but it doesn't drop below 30 during normal use (just to see, I applied two… -
Re: Headed to Europe, I've a question about currency
more importantly, make sure your gadgets can take 220 volts or they go *poof*. When I moved back from the US to Europe I actually encountered a few power-bricks in my collection that couldn't handle both voltages :/ Also ATM cards should work almost everywhere - I never had a problem with my cheapo Bank of America debit… -
Re: Brom's "The Plucker" optioned for movie.
I met him at the Seattle Comic Con last year. He's a really great guy to talk to, not anything like I thought he would be, not nearly as dark and brooding as I thought he would be. I'm not sure how they would pull off a movie version of The Plucker. I hope it falls more in line with the style of Pans Labyrinth then 300… -
Re: career search advice..
Im gonna say this Simon Cowell style : Your character portoflio as vastly sub-par at the moment . I can see that you have learned to use the hardware but you need to apply the proper artistic vision to your work . For example SOUL who is a character artist for EA has nothing but excellent work in his portfolio so he is a… -
Re: Steampunk Soldier WIP.
Well, the background is based on the steampunk principles as in there is no petroleum or silicon based technology, everything is ran on steam, coal etc. Although it's a technology that was developed and imporved over 300 years after which 100 year old global conflict pretty much destroyed most of the earth and drained most…
