Re: 3D Artists wanted at Acheron Design Australia
A 2d shooter, eh? I hope you're very good at the genre because that's the market with the strongest competition. Understandable, considering everyone with some programming language and a few days of spare time can get the foundations for one done and since we're not in the 486 age anymore even badly done code or script… -
Re: Apparently Firefox is crap?
OK I haven't tried running firefox on a 486 but then why would I want to? Opera crashes like crazy on my rigs. IE in all it's forms clogs my computer with various infections bogging it down eventually requiring a reboot and more importantly a good malware cleaning at least once a night. With firefox I really only have to… -
Re: What are you working on? 2018
[SORRY, THIS POST MODERATED TO IMPROVE PAGE SPEED. READ FIRST POST] Hey I finished my Phurba Dagger the other day. I took the time to make a full presentation of the prop on Artstation. The metal needs more patina I guess ? I did the sculpt on ZBrush, the retopo on 3DS max, the baking/rendering on Marmoset and the texture… -
Re: Anyone considering buying a GP2X?
Hmm I played both the normal and the expansionpack till the end on Linux. No problems with Doom3 at all. Try looking in one of the many Linuxmessageboards (exspecially those specific for Suse) for help. What soundcard do you have? I think there are problems with non Creative soundcards that cause it to crash during… -
Re: budget card woes!
[ QUOTE ] It's already playable with the Geforce2 I have, perhaps the gffx makes d3 performance worse? I've also heard horror stories of low framerates in Farcry with the card as well, making it seem like the GF2 beats the GFFX in performance. [/ QUOTE ] HELLO wake up, GF2 has no shader support so it doesnt do normal maps… -
Re: 7 years ago: what where you doing?
Seven years ago today I was 26 and about to start a masters degree in science, majoring in criminal psychology. I had spent the prior six months researching a novel, which I only ever got 27,000 words into, and I was playing Discworld on my Compaq Contura Aero 486/33 notebook. Seven years ago from this year as a whole I… -
Re: What flavor linux for pennable notebook?
sorry i think all those distros recommendations are sort of the main desktop distros so the resource usage out of the box will be not much different from windows. the thing about linux is that you can run a desktop on an old 486 with 64mb of ram. so it definitely can go much lower in resource usage then windows. but you… -
Re: Does Substance Painter perform well on AMD GPUs?
You could see this discussion to get some insights on your question: http://polycount.com/discussion/167844/recommend-gpu-for-substance-painter-2 In short - it seems that AMD GPUs like R9 290X or R9 390X can work just fine, though NVIDIA cards are generally recommended. I see no reasons why RX 480 would perform different.… -
Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
What i found helpful when it came to video card performance is to look at the current card naming conventions. For example you have the Nvidia 400 line which is the 450, 460, 470 and the 480 and then you have the current top of the line Nvidia 500 cards 550, 560, 570 and 580. With naming conventions like this i presume the… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Mirai did have soft selection, yes. You had to define its radius by selecting elements on the mesh and it was pretty fancy from what I remember. Surface- or volume-based depending on your choice, lockable too - I think. 3ds max gained these features over time. Maya had its soft selection tools revamped at some point, not…
