Re: How much do you earn?
[ QUOTE ] To second what Paul said, I actually received an offer for a company in the San Diego area the same day I received my offer from Gearbox. The salary offer for the one in San Diego was $15k more a year, but when you factor in the cost of living in the San Diego area vs the Dallas area the Gearbox offer was… -
Re: West Coast entry level artist salary?
Astro is right. Making 50k in San Diego isn't shit compared to say 40k in Texas. You won't buy a house in San Diego area ever making 50k a year. In texas you could. So much to consider when making these decisions. Cost of living and your quality of life is a major one for me. I am living in Chicago now where the cost of… -
Re: Computer upgrade time!
i got my SSD, disconnected my regular HDD (as it had windows on it), and installed Windows on the SSD. then after installing drivers etc. i moved over all the files i wanted saving to the SSD, wiped the hard drive, then moved them back and made them more organised. i tried click/dragging some programs from the old HDD to… -
Re: Mechanoid exo suit completed
It actually runs smoothly even at 28M polys, probably due to the 1 bone = 1 mesh principle (excluding cables). I animated it straight after ZBrush, then reattached textured meshes to bones, but it could actually perform well on a USD import too — it has real-time performance in the viewport on a gaming laptop (i9-14900K,… -
Re: Going to upgrade to solid state drive have a couple questions.
Anandtech has a nice benchmark tool that makes comparing drive speeds for several different usage scenarios. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SSD/65 Testing the Samsung 830 256 gb against the smaller 128 gb version is enough to show the signifigant performance the additional nand gives you with 256gb over 128gb. ( in most… -
Re: Menlo Park/Redwood City/Palo Alto area?
I'm still relatively new to the area but I live in south San Jose and work in Los Gatos. Both areas I believe aren't too far from Menlo Park/Redwood City/Palo Alto. I do know I'm about 50 miles from San Fran. Los Gatos is crazy overpriced but a really nice area. South San Jose is priced decently well and a nice area to… -
Re: Thinking of buying a new PC
Second getting an SSD, I would say a 240/256GB SSD for OS/apps and working art files, along with a 1TB or larger HDD to archive files onto when you're done with them. SSD makes a big difference in overall quickness. 120GB at the very least, trust me even if you blow your budget you really want an SSD. The 3770k supports… -
Generell Refraction based on Snell's Law
Hi, I want to create a general refraction shader based on physical laws like Snell's one. I alredy tried to transform his term n1 * sin(a) = n2 * sin(b) while n1 equals the IOR of the surrounding substance and n2 the IOR of the actual Object, a being the input degrees of the light and b the output degrees. (Source of my…
