Hello everyone, I am looking at building a new computer (or maybe just getting a new video card) and I figured instead of just asking a pointed question about this or that specific bit of hardware I figured I'd make this thread a bit more general. Therefore I am trying to frame these questions such that they will be…

My problem is that I can't quite figure out what they mean about the max ram for the motherboard. Its either that it can only have 2 gb ram or 2gb ram in each of the two slots. Wlso what kind of…

I managed to make all the changes I wanted but I still have a piece of code to correct. Currently if you select a bone in the viewport, the popup Skintools don't follow. You have to select the bone in Skintool's list to change the weight of a vertex. I'm looking since yesterday, but I feel that it's beyond my capacity with…

I kept hoping to find some sort of housing situation with fellow artists if not game artist students without luck since I am moving. Im in the process of moving the end of this…
I am sure this is not a novel technique, but I haven't seen it described anywhere so I thought I would share. How I came up with the technique: After working on retopology for the first time, I found the process to be egregiously time consuming.

Youve improved immensely since you…

The relevant equipment I used is as listed:* Canon 7D * Canon EF 28mm F1.8 USM * B+W Circular Polarizer * Canon 430EX II Flash * Manfrotto…
