[/ QUOTE ] True but i havent seen them go up like this in a long time, I hadnt been paying attention for a few months but i thought it had been steadily going down for a while.

Thanks for your answer Oglu, i have also find 2 interesting topic about UDIM https://polycount.com/discussion/213611/question-regarding-udims https://polycount.com/discussion/183032/udims Basically to sum up : UDIM is justify when you need to have gigantic resolution on a character or props, and when you have to texture…
Honestly, LODs are something anyone can do, I dont think its necessary to show an LOD for every model in your portfolio, I don't see why a grenade is somehow different. I don't think many people reviewing portfolios are stressing whether or not an artist can do lods. Its not like doing LODs is something you just…
Definitely always a topic of discussion, but with the increasing hardware even on mobile , I have worked on games where we could have 300-400k+ tri's on screen at any given time with 512^2 textures. Soon enough mobile will support these higher res meshes, and companies are building software for the future and are looking…
Go with the 5870 instead, and get a second drive or an external backup solution. RAID0 is all asscheeks and tits until it shits all over itself and you lose your hard work. Also, thats a tad over priced. The motherboard you get with this is decent, but doesn't have the 6 DIMM slots like other LGA 1366 boards come with, yet…

Lets get this shit show on the road! I just happened to be sculpting some random skull yesterday and figured I'd give this…
What OS? If you don't already have Win7 64 that would be a good place to start, up your ram to 8gb would be a cheap quick upgrade, Win7+SSD makes a pretty nice difference as well, I have a very similar setup to you(was running XP64) and added a 120GB SSD + Win764 and it was like buying a new computer. Your mobo/CPU…
As someone who very recently graduated, and looking at all the debt I'm in, and honestly the education isn't any better than one you can get online.
