Have a look at the 27" ASUS PB278Q IPS. I got one about 6 months ago and I love every bit of it. Planning to get a second one eventually. I paid $600 for it but that's only because I live in Australia and tech is more expensive here. I think I saw it at around $420 on Newegg.…
This is a trigonometry problem, you just have to find the right-angled triangle between your cam and your 40*40 square. Create a free ortho cam. Put a square resolution in the render settings. Chose a random FOV, let's say 50°. How far must be the target ? 20/tan(25) = 42.89 So put that in the target distance, and it…
Arch & Design material should do this, as long as Final Gather is on. http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/2012help/index.html?url=files/GUID-70B5937B-23A0-42F1-966A-EC10A3A3F07-1961.htm,topicNumber=d28e380411
Thanks =) Progress report. Added the blade, and quick retopo using Modo's topo pen. Did a quick paint pass using the concept art for most of it. Getting a rough idea of how it will look and what needs to be changed, as well as what can be added. So far sitting at 420 tris. Imported into Dota with just a rough color map and…
Very useful already. but some wonky stuff for ideal topology. For this to subdivide nicely you'd want the first interior edge to follow the border so you don't get "poles" at the border (bottom left has this issue). Also, sharp corners, that is over 90 degrees should terminate with both loops meeting at the same quad.…
Hello. You are in a very interesting place in the sense that this model seems to have very good surface quality and clean execution, which is unusual for a first try at sculpting. So congratulations on that ! You are currently running into a common roadblock experienced by many people jumping straight into Zbrush. But your…
I like everything about Surface Studio except the outdated GPU, and no Thunderbolt. Also I don't trust the Surface Pen.. This computer might be good for 2D artists but not for 3D artists. From 3D artist view, there is no point to spend $3000 - $4200 for a computer that can't upgrade GPU. What do you think about Wacom…
Good morning - one day I will be great but for now I will drink a coffee, doodle and try to keep up :) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4216525566166&set=a.4189454569408.2164829.1075895781&type=1&theater
That asus looks good, and the 4700HQ is a very, very fast cpu. I would bump it up to 16gb and throw an SSD in there though. Only issue I would have with that Asus is it is 6lbs (MBP 15 is 4.5, 13 is 3.5) so if weight is an issue maybe something to consider. Also if you end up paying a few hundred extra for ram and SSD,…
