Re: Questions about PC build
I tried hard to find a single DDR4 16GB non-ECC module but no luck. I think I will go with 2x8GB and upgrade later to 32GB kit (when they become cheaper). Ok, i hope it is. :) I won't upgrade in the next 2 years I'm going to save money on RAM buying 2x8 kit. Does it matter for PS/Zb which i5 to buy? Price difference… -

Most of the surface polycount is down to nicely shaped seams between material IDs, - the less you need those (e.g. if you don't need seam… -
Re: Are normal maps always necessary?
I get what you're saying here, but i think the flaw in that logic is this: A. Item isnt complex enough to warrant HP BUT B.

Re: Maya's default viewport shading to Blender
In the Solid OpenGL lights settings, click on the lightbulb next to the bottom 2 of the 3 lights. Then, click and drag on the ball on the top light until it's close to the center (Maya's light is actually a little bit above the center, so center the light and then drag it up a little.) Change Specular to black and change… -
