Re: zbrush mask by AO problem
Solution: Zbrush 4R6 if freeze on Windows 7: exit/shut down Zbrush, go to and delete Users\Public\Documents\ZBrushData\VMem Users\Public\Documents\ZBrushData\Temp then: 1. Always use lower subdiv, where you should have enough detail too: around 400 ~ 800K poly level is still fast = ZB does AO mask in seconds. Retopo for… -
Re: New Painting Tool. Colour Constructor!
Regarding the fact mentioned in the interview that monitors reconstruct images by mixing up RGB : I find the work of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky to be highly enlightening on that subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky Not only is it amazing to see pictures of that era in full color ; but also, there is… -
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.

Re: Did your Christmas dreams come true?
OH CRAP - hugely off-topic post. Yes and yes. I can switch between dvorak and qwerty with a key combination, and often must do so in games that do not offer keymapping (such as a flash game that insists on using Z and X or WASD instead of something universal like the modifier and arrow keys).

Re: Mari +Zbrush
mrnpc, im sure it makes a difference though that you are in their back yard as opposed to someone/some group thats much farther away.

Re: to college or not to college?
depends on the art degree, i see so many people paying 800-1000 a month for a course of 4 years, and I don't think that is something to afford for a game course, if you think you can get a smaller course, or someone to teach you some skills in 3d, then that's the way to go. IT IS important to have a degree if you are going… -
Re: Veterans and Aspiring: What does your dream Game Art degree look like?
