Did it a lot as a kid and then adult life sucked the love out of it. Going to classes like this has allowed me to find the good feeling about drawing. they are a must because: * they… -
Re: dds in video memory. more (dxt1) or less files (dxt3)
As Eric described, there is an encoding difference between DXT1 with alpha and DXT1 without alpha. Both have the same memory footprint at 8 bytes per texel, and both store two 16 bit color values (565 RGB) in the first 4 bytes of the texel. With no alpha, the first color value is always set to be greater than the second… -
Re: I'm moving! To freaking NYC!
I'm up in ny not to far from the city, I'd say try to find something decent with a decent price it is costly here especially in the city, maybe you'll get lucky though. Bayridge Brooklyn around the 6th ave & the 80 streets and up are really nice, 90's are closer to the water. Queens, Forest hills around 72nd continental,… -
Re: Rant TIME!
just don't upgrade unless you see a good reason in favor of doing so, i tend to only buy every 3rd or 4th version of things. i only upgraded from photoshop cs2 to cs5 last year, and did the same with maya 2009 when i upgraded to 2012 last year, and the only reason why i upgraded maya was because i was getting into python… -

Re: Volcanic activity in Yellowstone rising, along with other volcanoes

Re: Creative Fantasy Writing

Like for example: Hez quoting "what the hell." If I remember correctly, there was only one book came close to writing this directly. As in "what… -

Re: [Portfolio] - David Finlay, Vehicle & Environment Artist
