Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
you don't have to start at a young age. it's just a matter of time spent practicing -> skill improvement. Starting at a young age gives you a head-start. at the same time, though, the ratio of practice to skill level is (usually) much lower at a younger age.

Re: Affinity Photo - Someone using it?
I was on the beta and got a mail saying that right now it's 20% off. I really want to like it, but the one thing I couldn't get past was the way you change the brush size/hardness.

Re: Vector-based modelling in Blender?
"But one thing which is driving me INSANE is how modelling (as far as I understand) is based on adding primitive shapes and forming, scaling, sculpting, morphing etc into the desired shape..." That's incorrect. While a package like Blender doesn't have much in terms of procedural CAD-like features, object dimensions can be… -
Zbrush Configuration
I just wanted to see if anyone knows how to properly configure Zbrush to get the most out of your system. I have 12 gigs at home, with a core 7 2.6mghz processor, but it seems to be only utilizing 3 gigs of my power. I went into preferences and changed the multithread to 8 ( after checking to see if my system would… -
