Re: Low poly cage for a high poly mesh - performance issues
I have the same situation. My config AMD PhenomII X4 955 3,2Ghz 8Gb RAM and Maya lagged on 200-500k polygons. And selecting different object very slow. But on Softimage I work with 15 000 000 polygons and softimage not lags. I think this problem in Radeon's videocard. Sorry for my english. -

Re: Need a new digicam
I have a Canon IXUS 500 and it has served me really well for the past 4 odd years (maybe longer). So I've been really happy with it. My parents recently picked up one of the newer IXUS models (I was sick of them always borrowing mine for months at a time and then not actually using it), but it has all the things you… -
Re: is SLI worth the mooolah
Well, you NEED PCIe to have SLI, though. AGP SLI doesn't exist. If you have PCIe, the best VALUE right now is the Geforce 7950GX2. It's SLI in a single PCIe card, for around $500-600. It's the fastest single-slot card in existence, and it's only a little bit slower than 2 7900GTX cards in SLI. Only downside to the GX2 is… -

Re: Environment Asset WIP: Mill
I guess that raises question(s) that I have had during the production of environment pieces with normal maps, especially with a portfolio piece in mind... given the fact that buildings and assets within a game can be viewed from very close or very far, what is the target distance for them to look their best? I would… -
Re: A few weapons
Thanks again for all the good words. Irritant, hehehehe. Actually I think depending on the type of a game, 5000 polys to be constantly in a first person view, is a good investment in my opinion. Especially if you are not using normal maps. In all of my weapons, I just use a good ammount of polys where needed the most, and… -
Re: Governor Palin's email was "hacked" by 4chan-tards
Taking the simple approach... Politicians have big mouths, religion is always looking for a new mouth piece that is louder (and wealthier) then the last. Religions are also notoriously poor but often heavy on followers who's daily lives are deeply intertwined with a few people they look up to and trust for guidance.… -
Re: Cintiq: Pondering the purchase.
Ok so I ended up getting one tonight. Ordered it. I got the older 15" model. It hasn't been used. Only opened to verify the contents, etc. It was a gift I guess that the guy never used and decided to finally sell after collecting dust for a while. So I got it at a very awesome deal of just over 500 bucks. So to me that is…
