Re: Laptop-o-rama
Depends what you want/need. I just got my wife a Gateway for $600. Dual core Intel, and an ultra-brite screen. It works great for her and looks great.

Re: would a cheap prime lens improve photogrammetry on 24mp cam?
Again, hair splitting. Approach this problem in the way that you make photographs in manual mode, ISO100, f/8, 1/125s or more [but not less due to camera shake] - this will be enough. Or you can even use tripod or even monopod. Did you googled 'sharpest lenses'? -
Re: Lets talk middle generation console upgrades
Couple points. 1. PC's are better than consoles. 2. The difference between the two is more than the actual hardware, its the mentality. 3. Getting rid of a segment of the market is not as ideal as helping it evolve. One of the reasons for mobile success is what? A shared operating system/platform. You can have a hundred… -
Re: help , new computer !

Re: Maya or Max?
Ah yes like mac's vs pc's. :) I've taken a similar route. I did my first serious work on lightwave actually, and I still keep some of its workflow and shortcuts in my max and maya hotkeys.

Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
Hey Talon, I can definitely help you out but before I hand you code did you look at listing 1 in the paper that is referenced from the blog post? When using the derivative map variant you simply replace the dBs and dBt in listing 1 with the code from the blog post -->… -

Re: Sketchbook: Abhishek Chaudhry
Saidin: Fyi the vanishing points of objects aren't always the exact same unless you are doing an orthographic projection, or they are all in the same plane and at the same orientation. So the vanishing points of the road and the chair should generally line up, but everything else is pretty well on its own. Indian Boy:…
