Re: Cintiq vs Yiynova - Revisited.
One thing I have learned about the offerings from this brand is that you need to look for the more recent "U" models (for instance, MSP19U or MSP19U+ instead of MSP19, in the case of their 19 incher). This is because of the digitizer panel being of a different brand after the "U" revision. Accuracy is said to be much… -
Re: Getting Started With 3ds Max 2012
Max Help and Google are your biggest friends in this case, since you already have some understanding of 3D. Search for 'X equivalent in X software' for example in Google. You could also invest some money in some paid Tutorials from Digital Tutors for example. This has been my approach when I replaced Max for Maya. It's… -
Re: How did you get started with ZBrush ?
Ooooh so yeah if you are talking about navigation issues and general awkwardness, then yeah there is stuff to learn. (I thought you meant you were looking for an instant 'make cool sculpt button') One thing I would recommend is to take notes (paper or digital) of every awkward thing you come across. Navigation, masking,… -
Re: Samaritan Revolver
A few weeks back I had the chance to talk with one of the Modelers from Digital Extremes, Minky was his codename, he told me that 5K is what they aim for with their first person weapons, and about 3K~ for 3rd person. I do think however you could reduce your poly count without losing any major detail. Some areas seems a… -
Re: maya 2014
To be fair we don't know when AD acquired or licenced NEX, and how long it took them to implement. Last year when AD launched the feedback/request system for their products (Max started this the year before), modeling tools/fixes were among the highest requested items for Maya, one of the requests was literally "Implement… -
Re: From photoshop CS5 to Gimp
This is probably going to sound really bizarre but I really don't like artrage and painter specifically because of the fact that they try to emulate working with real media. I've always preferred photoshop because it doesn't really try to do that. It feels purely digital, but for some reason this is usually seen as a… -
Re: An argument against being an Art Monk
It makes sense. But I think you should be a "monk" as you call it, until you can at least live of your art (get a job as an artist). I've gone from really hardcore always working on things as a student, to a bit more relaxed way of life when I got a teaching job (still did multiple projects at the same time, often too… -
Re: Hard Drive Recovery Companies
Thanks for the tips guys! I've heard of the freezer trick before, so I'll give it a shot. It wasn't a drive I worked off all the time, it was mainly for just storage that got used here and there, but it was internal. Just gonna chalk it up to bad luck and I may need to look into a new case with better cooling or just… -
Re: First Real Character Attempt (Goblin Warrior)
Gibson, you need practice your proportional sketches. One way to achieve this, is to start learning how to sketch at the decent level. You can go check the other sketch books out and see how they did it. :) Or you can google "Idrawgirls.com" and start learning from there. There are more websites who teach the sketch… -
Re: Ovescan on TV/Monitor
Thanks for the replies both. You're right, the HDMI>DVI thing was causing issues. I used a DVI > VGA adapter and plugged it into VGA on the display and it's working fine. I think the lack of DVI in is that it's more of a TV with monitor support rather than a monitor that can be used as a TV if you see what I mean. I know…
