Re: Time for some PC upgrades, need some recommendations.
I would maybe invest in a good CPU such as 4930k (or even 4960k if you have alot of dough). When it comes down to rendering and anything 3D in general the regular ones does not cut it. I would also get 32GB ram, i have 16 and on several occasions had to close down apps due to lack of ram. But as your budget is fairly low,… -
Re: Are "Mega shaders" recommended?
I was expecting the "several small specialised shaders" option to be the slowest since there'd be so many shader program switching when rendering the scene, but apparently it's the fastest solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4649924 Besides that, you should consult the documentation of your game engine on shader usage.… -

Re: PC build need help
Windows 8.1 works fine and is meant for all. Having used both 7 and 8. I prefer 8. It boots faster, works with Multi Monitors easier, shows transfer speed graphs when working with files, USB 3.0 native support, and best? The click ring icon when attempting to use a wacom in a 3d program no longer happens. So I can go back… -
Re: [3ds Max] Is there a way to select polygons by view for UV Mapping?
Get to know your polygon selection tools. In the UVW Unwrap modifier panel, there are some options to control viewport selections. Ignore Backfacing is a good one to use in your example. http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-EA10E59F-DE7F-497E-B399-6CF213A02C8D You can also use Element selection to… -
