It's apples to oranges because they're completely different technologies with different goals. Nanite is virtualised geometry, i.e. streamed geometry meaning that it uploads only as much mesh data as is required to the GPU for rendering. VRMesh is VRay's stored version of a proxy mesh. You can literally have a point or…
Until zBrush goes 64bit (v5) it's locked into only using 4gb of ram. That's 4gb of ram dedicated to zBrush so you want more than 4gb of ram in your system, you want 4gb of free ram above what your system uses at its highest usage point when zbrush is running. That 4gb barrier is annoying and very limiting but there are…
I have the wind done! It took a while, but it seams to have turned out pretty nice in the end. You can see it in the new game builds I uploaded here: http://www.artoflightandmotion.com/downloads. I was able to get the movement of everything pretty closely in sync with the audio. There is still some tweaking to be done in…
Look another long winded post... WEE! Jungle George... I was using www.househunt.com, its good for finding general prices, not good for finding a house, I would use a buying agent when looking for a home. Normally thier services are covered in the sale of the home, so NORMALLY there is no out of pocket expense. My wife and…
well even though you map or tile your map in 2d (using layers etc.) you could still instantiate 3d prefabs instead of 2 billboards or sprites. E.g. make a 3d cube kinda sprite for every tile in the tiled map. Anyway that's what I would do, my main reason to go with something as tiled is its simplicity and as such power in…
I don't have any good suggestions for the textures, aside from that it overall looks to crisp and plain. Not sure if the darkened corners are a result of the model or your render, but they're also sharp and distracting. There's an obvious repeat in the wallpaper that I suggest fixing. Aesthetically, the wallpaper is…
i have the aeron in my homeoffice. it's a sturdy and comfy thing if you buy the right size but i hope that's not the king of chairs. :) i find a headrest essential but here it's an aftermarket accessory for starters. anyway if you go for it, make sure to not get the stupid lumbar bar but rather the proper butterfly shaped…
The cintiq would be an independent monitor. Provided your computer setup lets you have 3 monitors, then yes it would be your third monitor....or if you can only have 2 it would be your second. The pen only interacts physically on the cintiq screen, but you can set up one of the buttons to swap monitors, and the curser…
I used to get all sorts of weird little errors like this when I first started doing high > low using Max to generate my maps. Swapping over to use xNormals cleaned up at least 60% of those from the get go (Call it lack of experience with the cage or whatever, but xNormals works a hell of a lot better for me). The other…
