The game turned out even more awesome than I was already anticipating, I still can't get over how damn much eye candy there is in this game on Ultra settings, gorgeous! The lack of base building, while I'm slightly sad about it, pans out for the greater good as far as a warhammer 40k game goes, keeps the action exciting...…
I think the most significant point of the Martial Law discussion is the fact that disturbing and potentially harmful precedents are being set. The reason why Posse Comitatus Act was created was to prevent abuses of power by the state. It's now been overturned. And when one explores some of the other laws that have been…
Xview https://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-40164BD8-6EA5-4D42-A54E-FB33CFDC179D My bad. Xview doesn't have this. Polygon Select menu under Graphite Modeling tools has it though!
Thanks a lot for the comments and critique. I've Made some progress - not much in the past few days. Been working on the lighting trying to add a bit more interest and contrast and fix some of the issues I was having. I'm not entirely loving the current light scheme but I think it is working better than the last one. As…
Back in my corporate studio days...loved the education or self-enhancement benefit a lot. It was something like 3 times a year you get up to $400 to spend on a class.

I'm glad I waited on getting a 200 series card (now just got to wait till the 400 series is cheaper), my 9800GT is still doing really well on a lot of new games.
I a decent diffused Ring flash is the best idea for taking any texture shots. I got a hdd with around 40k textures now that I've collected over 5+ years mostly with my own camera.
looks great guys. The turtle model is great! looking forward to seeing it textured! Here's my latest pics. Its about 4000 polys at the moment, a few more doodads i need to make. I managed to get the characters down to 440 polys each.
Honestly, the core 2 extreme is a waste of money. You can buy the E6600 or E6700 and overlock them to the Extreme's specs (air cooling is more than enough) and you'll save about $400-500 right there. I'm running an E6600 o/c'd to 2.95ghz (stock is 2.4ghz), and it's only around 40C. I'm running a GeForce 7950GX2 graphics…
