956 tris, 512 textures 902 tris, 512 textures I could probably take a few more polys off by deleting more backfaces, but I'll leave it for now. Maybe I should have used a 12-sided cylinder for the bottle... might change that if it continues to irk me. I'm making a security camera next, hi-poly soon.
Yeah, i'm very on the edge on building one. All I got from reading the sticky is I need atleast 16 gb ram, more cores the better and a decent GPU with atleast 8gb of memory maybe a ssd? it's pretty pricey it makes reading stuff I have $950 budget, not too much I know :| Thanks for the help.

My mom was an 911 operator when I was growing up in NY so I knew a bunch of cops, firemen and EMTs. People like scandal so stories of bad cops are more popular than heroic cops - every time you hear a bad story maybe you should balance it out with one from here: The Officer Down Memorial Page
The 911 gi bill pays for all my school. I would recommend an accredited school but to each his own. If you have a bachelors you can even do a program like FIEA if you can get accepted. Most people say you can learn everything by yourself but the major point of school p.s. to network. If you go to a good school than usually…
err....? Why is it getting locked down? I'm a scumbag Steve because I didn't respond for a day? It's a tragic situation, looks like the police didn't have any better options when faced with the possibility of people getting killed by these animals. Captain Hindsight would say an individual should not be allowed to…
I've used AMD for 10 years in my PC builds. They give good performance in the affordable price range, whereas Intel holds the fastest CPU title and charges a premium for it. I don't need bleeding edge CPU power. My Phenom II 4x 950 BE serves me just fine and they haven't gone through as many socket changes as Intel either.…
NyneDown - I don't rule out more clutter props. I'm sure I'll have plenty of tris left over after doing what I've got - it's at ~950 right now, roughly 1/20 the limit! So there will be plenty left for decals and clutter. Lot of stuff going wrong with the timing - I got sick over the weekend and I'm graduating soon so…
Just throwing in something for Modo. The Devs have been working pretty hard on improving the performance on AMD. I'm personally running an R9 290 and didn't experience any problems with it after 901. So if you read any posts out there about Modo running sluggish on AMD (There were a lot), check the date. It could save you…
And splines too right? Not wanting to turn this thread into a max vs modo one but I'm also looking at Modo with interest these days with the teasing of 901 that comes bundled with meshfusion. The mod stack I can live without, but max spline modeling - this I don't think I can say goodbye to. I read many times that this is…
