Re: DIY Cintiq
I went from an intuos 3 to a bamboo, after the surface of my intuos got some wear and tear in it in the spot I worked the most. The Bamboo, for me, works so much better. The bit of grain on the surface has that toothy paper feel to it, so it's like I'm drawing, not using computer magic to do my work. I'm super happy with… -
Re: Looking for a new computer
i5 2500k Is a pretty good intel cpu to get for price/performance. With 3D work its normally always best to go with Nvidia cards, I'm getting a 560 Ti soon. For ram get at least 4GB Its best to get the ram as a 4GB stick so that you can add additional ones later if you feel you need more ram, You'll be wanting DDR3. A good… -
Re: What Computers Are Best for Modeling?
My very first laptop was horrible and it did completely fine. You probably dont have to get as expensive as you say, $600-$800 should do fine. -

Re: New Rig set up
600 is fine. Only watch out for power spikes (from video card). This is a graph from my 295, and this causes a huge drain on the PSU (700w), which causes my display to flicker/crash in PS (I have a thread about that). So now I need to upgrade to at least 1000w (to plan for the next upgrade). My machine is **supposed** to… -

Re: -=Inspiration thread=-
Hey Lefix, that's a cool idea! I know next to nothing about the Games Workshop stuff but I'm always attracted to the model designs when I see them shops. I just checked out that catalogue on their website, did I read it right that it's 600+ pages!? That's.... huge! Would you mind putting a few more pics up of it? It's only… -

Re: Halo 4 Battle Rifle (WIP)
Thats great for first gun project,looking real good.Did you enable qualified normals for this and is there only single sg? Yeah don't bake in modo.Even in the 601 version there's no averaged cage.Ray distance method yields worst results.Use modo only for model and uv stuff.Try xnormal or simply bake in 3dsmax/maya. -
