Re: SSD's rock so hard
got a SSD raid of 2x 128gb intel SSDs for OS and apps at home. These SSDs are pretty old by now but the speed is still good. My data is still all on regular HDDs though. I don't do enough data crunching work. I compile stuff here and there, do some sculpting, but that doesn't require constant HDD access. Most games aren't… -
Re: Paint vertex normals in 3dsmax
I write tools for a living and I have an opinion on non-programmers using robots to make tools. - just use the robot to build the thing. The result will be 100% ass from an engineering perspective but that's not the point - Robots are excellent at prototypes / proof of concepts. The ethical concerns around robots writing… -
Re: SSD?
PCI-E SSDs are cool, but they're also 3-4x as expensive as a Sata SSD and, unless you have some very specific industrial purpose (like running servers) you're unlikely to see much benefit. On the other hand, even at Sata II speeds of 3gb/s, thats still a significant improvement over a 7200rpm HDD. The first SSD I owned was… -
CSS struggles
I'm trying to ditch HTML tables in favor of formating blocks entirely with CSS, but am having some problems. I'd like a column of images, each having some explanatory text on the right. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> float: left; clear: left; for the IMGs, it seems to kill the indents of the numbered lists.… -
Re: "Cheap" SSD's...
http://www.guru3d.com/article/ocz-agility-3-review/3 Wow, write cycles have gone DOWN since I had a SSD that failed in three years? Lol, good luck. You honestly think those review sites have the SSD for a year or two before they release a review to know if they last that long under heavy use? Nope. Software like Photoshop… -
Re: Shuttle Altair
From my perspective, had thought the previous series complimented your scene nicely, although admit was focused more upon the asset itself so missed those points you've mentioned above, indeed earth has an extremely thin habitable layer/zone at only 3000m (12.500ft) altitude without need for an oxygen mask and 100km (62… -
RSS Feed
I'm brand new around these parts, and searching the forum and the FAQ hasn't lead me to a working RSS Feed. The FAQ points at both: http://boards.polycount.net/external.php?type=rss http://boards.polycount.net/external.php?type=rss2 But they don't appear to be enabled. Can anyone shed light on the situation? I'd really… -
ISS Cupola
Hey everyone, Working on the Cupola of the ISS for a friend's short film, just done the first bake, need to get the rest of the high poly stuff modelled and baked for Friday, trying to work out where to go with it texture-wise as The ISS is quite current in appearence and my friend is thinking near future so maybe making… -
Re: PBR Export Issue
this is either a colorspace issue - make sure you're outputting raw from painter and importing linear to blender (i don't know what blender calls it) a tangent basis issue - make sure your model has the same tangent data and triangulation for both the bake and the render meshes. if you're using fbx there's a tickybox for… -
