The scene is coming on nicely and its great to see your progression however I feel like there are several things that could be done in order to further improve the scene: 1: My biggest issue at the moment is the lighting, its difficult to tell what direction the sun is coming from, there are several reasons for this: - The…
Those posts are pretty obsolete and almost were back then right from the start... I brought the earthquake zbrush model into MAx 2009 and Max 2016 on the same machine ( GTX780/6 GB, i7-4930K 6 -core/32GB Ram ) . This lead to an 945MB file, about 6.5 mio polys, split into 8 seperate objects. Pure viewport performance in Max…
Its not just sleep, i think an important factor when it comes to quality of life is the amount of thinking you do. Do you think too much? Can you turn it off? Is your monkey brain talking to you without pause? Can you just sit still and be without getting restless? If you can't turn off your brain you might have an…
so my question is this: how much time will crunch take off of a projects completion time? is 1 month of crunch equal to say, 2 months of non-crunch? does working 3 months of crunch mean the game is ready 6 months earlier? if that's the case... i honestly cannot fathom why people go into crunch mode unless 1. the goalposts…
I had some real issues with getting the haircards right in UE4. I am at a decent place I can stop tweaking them for now. I want to get the rest of the character in and then go into final refinements. I checked out UE4 forums and articles about haircards and I found the same difficulties. A few UE veterans seem to be able…
Modo doesn't have modifiers. It's around a principle once done, it's done. Blender is more like 3ds max. A lot of live stacked modifiers. It's so a huge advantage that really overweights slightly less advanced and less context aware mesh modelling tools. Sometimes I watch Houdiny videos and think: ok, I can do same in…
Lets not forget that MTV (which I have no respect for and I even dont have it programmed in to my TV) is for the average gamer crowd and they are marketing towards those types of people (the want to be cool crowd). So I would expect the first year games to be port like quality. Plus how long has the developer kits for the…
Unfortuneately no. I have already tested with a good spare as well as swithced out ram, reseated everything and all round thorough checks. Its the motherboard and possibly CPU too although thats no great loss, its an old P805d which I was planning on replacing for the war anyways. I'm just glad I have the cash to fix it.…
i7 is a quadcore with hyperthreading cpu... so basically it shows up as an 8 core cpu. You can skip the dual 9800GTs and go for a single GTX 280 or 295 card... I think that's a whole lot more power than 2 9800s... the new line of NVIDIA cards are dual core GPUs, meaning they have 2 video processors on 1 card. I have a 1 gb…
I think the problem with just plugging in and coping over is that he wants this new drive in two partitions so it can replace both C:\ and D: \ and he isn't sure how to do that? He runs the risk of backing everything up and having to back it up again to break it into two partitions if he doesn't do that first. At least I…
