Re: Next Gen Console Burn In Issues
My plasma monitor (read 'it has no tv tuner') is pretty ghetto. It was the cheapest thing I could find at the time. The only options it has are a full white screen, and a rotating color screen. Each option can be run for 10 or 60 minutes. There is no description of what they do, or if they will damage the thing moreso. I… -
Re: Need Help Choosing a New PC
Depends on the use case (virtualization and huge ram-disks for example), but most of the time probably not. Dual slot mainboards (dual socket 2011) start at around $350, the cheapest quad core with usable clock rates (Xeon E5 1620, 3700 mhz) costs the same. That's $1050 only for two CPUs and one MoBo. But if you have more… -
Re: Wall-e Diorama
@Myles: Yeah, I agree they are a little too brownish now, I was trying to make them look like he had actually been driving around in the almost red sand, but I guess I kind of overdid it a bit. And I am going to try out another color for the base and see about enlarging the logo a bit. Thanks for the tips! @Ged: Awesome,… -

Re: Feedback for my work
I'd show the diffuse instead of the wire in that presentation (first pic in the thread). Wires can be overlayed on the diffuse in necessary. For a diffuse only assignment it looks pretty cool to me, a bit blocky but judging from the wire, your mesh is well optimized so that blockiness would depend on your triangle budget.… -
Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Autodesk bought ShaderFX. Currently working on the next real-time shader editor at Autodesk (If you are on the Maya beta you can try it out and give feedback). You are welcome to use the old version via the download above. Just keep in mind there will be no re-compiles of the old version. But it should still help to get… -
Re: Head modeling, why do some artists model eye/mouth first?
You are taking this tutorial way too literally. You have to keep in mind that building a solid mesh structure (connecting edges, filling faces, and so on) and capturing the likeness of a character are two different things - clearly illustrated by the fact the the end result of this modeling video looks nothing like the… -
Re: Deviant Art Portfolio
Idk, I see it both ways but I really think that its better to focus on great art instead of trying to make a perfect portfolio. As long as you have the basic elements you should be fine. I was looking at DA portfolio and I truly don't think they look half bad. If you pay $5 dollars a month you can erase all of DA logo's… -
Re: buying a pc need advice
I would advise against that one. Typically when you see something like that it has poor primary parts that aren't listed. Motherboard, PSU, etc. These things are the backbone of your computer, and loss of any of them could cause damage to the other parts, but will set you back in getting a nice computer. Also consider that… -
Re: Need Help With UV's & Texture Resolution
Would this sell? Hmm, well you need a non education version of max to sell meshes first off and a non indie license for painter (if you plan on raking in cash). The unreal marketplace is (apparently) quite difficult to get on, there are plenty of packages with barrels and crate type set dressing assets, so you would have…
