Hey all you computer literate polycounters out there, I need some help :) Recently I've come across a little bit of spending cash, and my current computer is dying a slow and VERY painful death (as I hit it continuously every time it decides to randomly shutdown on me... thanks). I was wondering if you lovely gals and…
HP, thanks for that link looks like ATI has released yet another new driver which will hopefully fix my flickering NPC's. And even though it says in that nVidia config hack that you can't turn on 8k texture pages unless you have 1.5gig of gpu memory, works totally fine on my radeon 5850 with only 1gig so don't be scared to…
Yeah but this is the dslr thread (and we sometimes mention mirrorless cameras) all of which have large enough sensors to mostly avoid the "too much pixels crammed in" syndrome. The key is to go for "good" pixels. A 12mp 5D original trumps practically every camera out there if your goal is image quality and a used one can…
My ATI 5850 works despite my greatest fears great with Maya and Photoshop, ATI is working hard on there drivers lately, not anything near the desater i had back then with my Radeon 9800 Pro. About nVidia well nothing surprising there i think its a good card still, if you want such an power hungry loud beast. I personally…
I got a 5850 my self and its been ages i have been that content with an new graphicscards, its very fast and ATI really pulled it self together with there recent drivers, works very well. (Saying this as longtime nVidia follower) Also the new "DX11" tesselation is not the same as the stuff older ATI cards already had, way…
Personal recommendation: If 3D work is going to be the majority of your time and you don't want to blow the bank on video cards, go with Nvidia. I'd suggest GTX 260. If you have a huge ass display or money, maybe a 285. If gaming is more your cup of tea then go with a Radeon 5770. Maybe a 5850 if you have a big…
@ PrOOf That is an awesome shark. Spudnik "But yeah, SinAmos, you're absolutely in the wrong here. Paint a texture in 256x246 and then paint the same texture in 1024x1024 and downsize it to 256x256. You'll see a very definite difference in quality."--In Zbrush, you generate a 1024X1024 map from detail texture painting and…
2 backers = $5.50 a piece........it's gotta be pretty sad to know your own parents would only give you a lousy $5.50 to start a game company. Marty it's time to go back.....back to the future!
Im looking at getting my hands on Zbrush. If any of you fine people are willing to sell your PC copy, that would be fantastic. Im looking for something in the $550 range. Preferably $550 including the transfer fee. If you have a PC copy you would be willing to part with for $550 PLEASE let me know. Thanks! ~Steel
The TF2 1850 Edition thread is kind of... slow and I want to get some crits before I move on to the UVs, so I figured I'd post this here 1850s Medic. I still need to add in some accessories to break up the symmetry
