For me, 8gb Vista x64 and Maya runs silky smooth. Vista used to be junk, but that's when I had 32bit...and it was a year ago. XPx64 is fine, I have that at home, but the drivers are an issue if you're going to buy new hardware....that's basically it.
I normally work off of a 4:1 ratio, 4 pixels to every game unit. With 4:1 if you have a plane that is 32x32 then your texture sheet would be 128x128. I helped a guy unwrap a crate once: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77405 I also helped a guy figure out how to unwrap a more complex object:…
Definitely not worth a full 60 bucks for an uprezed Xbox game as repetitive as this one. Based on the demo alone I'd gladly pick this up for $30 or maybe more if it had a nice online co-op mode. Having read the 1up review, I'm a bit dismayed that it lacks the sandbox qualities to it I expected out of it. Having to repeat…

I still use the phone - and it's a sony too - for a little 2.0mp thing with no zoom it's taken some pretty awesome shots over the years - though a point-and-shoot gives you a little more freedom when it comes to composition. This is where I think I'm headed, the only two downsides are the price : £340 / $540 (being that…
hehe... I built my comp for around $800. Fry's and Newegg though. Kind of hard to give advice if we don't have a price range. AMD64 3200+ 160gig hdd 7200rpm SATA 1 gig of dualchannel ram gigabyte nforce3 mobo geforce 6800GT and a cheapass coolermaster case. http://www.newegg.com Will save you a ton of money, but you have…
FYI: single 8800GT is much better than an 8800GTS 640. I dont know what nvidia was smoking when they came up with the names for thier 8800 series of cards. The 8800GTS 320 and 640 are NOT THE SAME CARD as the 8800GTS 512. The 512 version is much faster. it was released much later when nvidia decreased thier die size. the…
Yes they all create a similar style to the dvd but that is because it works. You are marketing to beginners and they need to learn the basics before creating a character. <--- Have you done market research buddy? do you work as a teacher? My students don't enjoy current DVD's simpy because there is little focus and because…
