Oh and also I just remembered, these two training DVDs by the Blender Foundation is a great way for absolute beginners to start out with Blender. http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info_n.php?products_id=134 http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info_n.php?products_id=133 Believe it or not but they are actually…
What GPU do you have now? You can get a $250 GTX 760 that will be just as fast as the $300 you have in your post. Also same card on newegg is $260 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125466 You can easily OC pretty much any GTX 760 to match that OC'd card's performance. I'm getting 1200 MHz on mine, vs…
I would have to argue against the "many small releases" statement, as it is not always appropriate. Constantly throwing out the latest .034 Alpha build with two new lines of code and an additional player model is something that a serious mod should leave inside the team. The main guidelines were catered towards teams that…
Just a few additional thoughts: You don't need to be running at 30fps - this is waste. You can get by with smooth video at 24-25 fps. Additionally, I've had a lot of luck encoding w/ Quicktime using the H.264 codec using AAC for audio. This can be done w/ Quicktime Pro or software like Camtasia. With the settings below,…
Fresh news, Adobe decided to go subscription only with the Substance suite after they officially published Alchemist. Official forum post: https://forum.substance3d.com/index.php/topic,30855.0.html?fbclid=IwAR0_--Lza3L_jMUbGcDWkKO2wM15S5JrUZGdGrKkTSlqRZO_5xAPm92x0o Another…
Hey guys! Im currently working on a character i drew based on a film i made with some friends. The film is called "In the cave of Möwen" and its a chinese Kung Fu film. I decided to make a literal interpretation of Möwen, which in german means seagull and created a bird-man with a hawks head (liked it better than a gulls)…
My MBP has been crashing trying to render a 270x480 image on mental ray. So I am upgrading to a PC. I haven't assembled one is a long time. If I could have some guidance it would be great! :) My mac specs: Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB Am thinking of…
Hey guys, So I have had a whole bunch of problems with Zbrush when I hit a certain point of detail/complexity on a project, Zbrush becomes almost totally useless, as I cannot load any quicksaves. I'm working on a file that is 3.2mill polys in total. 8 subtools. No real paint data. When I quicksave this file it sits at…
So, i figured i'd have a go at something i've not really done yet properly and that's a normal realistic interior rather than anything overly sci-fi. So with that in mind, this is the project i've chosen. Tony Stark's Malibu home (garage only): Latest update: It's very early stages so far, only 2 nights spent work on it.…
Arsh i think you're looking at it from the perspective of the consumer and not the dev who's involved. I mean the publisher could just bullshit about anything they can, and then create expectations putting pressure on noone but the developer. In other industries, you already have a shippable product and the success/failure…
