Upgrading your CPU may not be too expensive, if you don't mind used parts. eg: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Athlon-64-X2-6000-3-0GHz-2MB-AM2-89W-ADA6000-Ship-US-/270899838478?pt=CPUs&hash=item3f12e37e0e http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Athlon-64-X2-5050e-AM2-CPU-ADH5050IAA5DO-2-6GHz-45W-/400273874225?pt=CPUs&hash=item5d322e9d31
Thanks to all of you for your messages/emails! It took us forever to go through all of them and we unfortunately realized that 3d artists are a lot more demanding on the cash than we thought. We can't afford more than $450/month on 3d artist, we really don't have more money than that... but we are still hoping that we'll…
Vray proxies are also interesting Neox. Theres a tutorial on it here. http://www.evermotion.org/index.php?unfold_exclusive=154&unfold=exclusive A note about animations and the like. You can do your animations in a seperate file and then use the point cache modifier to export those animations onto your characters in your…
Xoliul shader should still work. I've used it in Max 2018. 3point shader is by @perna. Unfortunately the website is a 404, so I bet it's not supported anymore. http://3pointstudios.com/3pointshader_about.shtml You could however make your own viewport shader with Shader FX, which is included in 3ds Max. Physical Material is…
Not a fan of zspheres and overall curves, but... oooh, I've just wached Ryan Kingslien speak about it as if he's eaten the most delicious cookie in the world and is describing how it felt. This is 4.6 right? Still on 4.4 but I'll definitely bother updating soon. Still dont understand, though, why Ryan himself does not use…
I misunderstood what you meant in the first post, I thought you were saying you had it ready to go so anyone could easily try it via the download links. I'll look into compiling Unreal and giving it a try in the next few days. Edit: I tried using your link and it's just returning a 404 error, I found your account on…
Reset XForms fixes it for me. Your model has a scale value of -88. If you Reset XForms and turn off backface cull, you'll see that your model is inside out. Use a Normal modifier to flip the model then collapse. The point to point seam tool will work after that.…
I personally would wait until the developers have gotten used to the hardware before forking 450-something dollars on a new Xbox 360. Chances are that the first few games are going to LOOK like crap by hardware standards (that doesn't necessarily mean it'll PLAY like crap though) but once the developers find some…
Yup it's been downsized to 800 x 450 ;) Imageshack has an autoresize feature you have to keep turning off, and you have to sign in now to get the direct image link.. unless you upload multiple things at once then it's better to be signed out because it just gives you the list of direct links, whereas if you're signed in it…
1) the cards are downward compatible, it's unlikely that you benefit from PCIEx3 unless you do heavy video editing, or are into oil & gas bizness ;) 2) the watts it outputs is printed on it, or you look up the name of it and find specs online. 450-500 should be okay, depends on how much stuff you have in your PC. CPU is…
