Ah sorry I should have explained. According to the Substance devs, when using above 3.5Gb of memory, the 970 performance is not ideal in painter. It has to do with the last 500mb on the 970 being incredibly slow when 3.5gb is utilized. http://www.pcgamer.com/why-nvidias-gtx-970-slows-down-using-more-than-35gb-vram/ The…
I'd like to add "convenient and readable in 2D if there's any chance people will use a 2D program at any stage for this asset." Especially for freelance work you should try to at least make the bigger islands aligned with world space and arranged in a way that makes sense, while still being reasonably well-packed. Thin,…
Looks like those faces need to be flipped you can do that in edit poly > edit polygons > flip. You can do a simple check for this by turning on backface culling, if some of the faces disappear then they are inverted. You can also check the direction of the normals by applying an Edit Normals modifier, all of the lines…
hey guys thanks for all the nice words and c&C! locater 16 - thanks so much! Holly Mellor - thank you! ive worked a bit more on her skin and body.

The task I set for myself was a recreation of an old tired comic (with my profound apologies to GC) telling a story at a nightclub during the 1960's. This first pass is…

Going to try and fix those. and i need to fix the badging i have, its not showing up well. In general im pretty happy with this weeks work. Although im…
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it only chanmged the falloff from having a soft shadow to straight black. We get vray from school and I got that installed. Tried changing from that to scanline, but that didn't do anything. The odd thing is we get it randomly in class. We got the same maxstart file ,but some get it and…
I agree, it's another tool that will come in useful and it doesn't hurt to have it. It looks great, however I'm a bit concerned about the little popup menu which looks crowded [even Joseph had to think while choosing the options at times]. I would prefer for Pixo to redo the layer system and some other messiness in the…
Did you get the 460 or a 490? How much did you spend? People like newer cards because you get more features, more vram, better power efficiency, and hopefully it'll be quieter and last longer. The GTX 750 ti is only $120. The 400 series was notorious for being hot and loud if I remember correctly. I think only the 600…
