All 3 of these options are batshit crazy. Dropping $5000 on a laptop is an absurdly bad way to spend your money. Let's start with why you think you need a $5000 laptop. What are you using this for? Why do you think you need a laptop workstation rather than a desktop? Keep in mind a very powerful desktop workstation should…
In all honesty, do you really not think that places like EA wouldn't package a 4K add-on dlc? The older game ships with say 2k texture maps, but with this DLC you can get all of the glory of 4k-8k texture maps to further enhance your 4k gaming experience. Surely you can only upscale original content so far on a 4k TV…
What i found helpful when it came to video card performance is to look at the current card naming conventions. For example you have the Nvidia 400 line which is the 450, 460, 470 and the 480 and then you have the current top of the line Nvidia 500 cards 550, 560, 570 and 580. With naming conventions like this i presume the…
hey :) this is a character i'm making for a game im making for my final years honours project at Uni and would appreciate some feedback as i progress down the line in development. i'm creating a low poly "chibi" styled knight inspired by shovel knight/Mario/40k stuff :) i plan to make it have a stylised aesthetic and also…
Hi I'm trying to improve my skills the best I can and since I want to become a game developer I've been modelling mostly low poly "game assets" to boost up my modelling skills since they aren't exactly tops and neither are my texturing skills although modelling outweighs texturing in my skills. Anyway I modelled the tower…
So i asked on a FB page before this, i was asking about how many polygons is the limit when one wants to model a character for current gen video games. someone gave me an answer of '40k tris'. im not sure if i can trust this though, (1) first of all, do people call it 'tris'? i thought most people just call it 'polygons'.…
They have as per this link http://download.autodesk.com/us/qualcharts/2011/maya2011_qualifiedgraphics_win.pdf I'm pretty sure I remember seeing 400 series Nvidia cards on some list at some point, but they seem to have a new system where it just shows professional cards. Even when they did certify consumer hardware, it was…
Yeah, it's not all that different from cars in that respect. You can get something a little older that will work very well most of the time, certainly well enough for a range toy, for 5-800 dollars of most long-arms and rifles that most people are interested in. A decent, basic 1911 will go for 400 dollars or so. But then,…
@zxcman : Thanks! @Zof : Thnaks! For the back door, i think it's just the 2 front windows that are a little big. I'll change that ;) @bbob. : Thanks! @Xoliul : Thanks a lot for the name and the site of the guy (I added the information on my first post). I understand your worries about the turret. The idea I have is that…
Day 19 No reference for this one, just tried to freestyle a bit again with some reference back to previous work. Sorta goblin/imp inspired time taken :1h 40m
