Hello all, I have a serverfarm with 352 nodes / 5632 cores / 11264 threads. This machine is running with Linux and is going to grow to 480 nodes in next weeks. I poked around and studied the prices of online rendering services and found out that I can offer much better prices. A typical low price offer (which I found on…
I'm trying to ramp myself up on Modo 301 (all I have access to at the moment), and the one thing that constantly hits me in the face is that my hotkeys will change at some point during a session and the only way to fix it is to shut down Modo and restart it. Like, my "W" key changes from transform to (I think) edge extrude…
As a programmer i would like to know, what steps you have most in common to do, to create the final optimized 3d model for a game and what steps you think are stupid or you wish you must not do because it would increase your work progress dramatically. 1. 2d Sketch(es) / your own imagination of the model 2. Do the model…
Hello! I'm brand new on 3D modeling, with a modest 3-week experience, but I started a personal project of a simple low poly style tavern for my studies. I've just made some props and I'm fairly satisfied with the results, but one thing is bugging my mind: How much is a "good" poly count for a low poly style game? Ignoring…
Wondering if anyone can help me out here, i was playing hl2 the other day and everything froze up so i had to manually restart the system, but I was unable (untill about 5 minutes ago) get past the windows load screen because it would just restart itself as if there wasnt enough power. I checked my bios and everything was…
hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the problem I'm having when trying to import uvs into zbrush 3.1 from max9: I've exported my model (sub. lv. 1) from zbrush to max to do the uvs in max. When exporting from max into zbrush (saving the morph target and switching) at sub lv. 1 it looks fine. but when i move up…
Hey PC, I am looking to buy a laptop to do some personal/freelance stuff on when at the gf's. I only really want to spend up to £350 on one as I will only really be using it one or 2 evenings a week and the occasional Sunday, as watching XFactor is draining my soul. I am looking for a really quiet laptop so I can use it…
disable EVERYTHING that isn't your working programs turn off all windows and programs sounds no wallpaper, and deactivate all those fancy windows features so it looks like windows 3.1 again so you can focus all processing to main working programs. practice practice practice learn all the hotkeys Keep a stopwatch at your…
Whoa, thats a definate improvment over the original torso. The hands are also much better, as for being more "orcish" i'd have a go at fattening them out. From what i've seen most orc's (as if its a real creature :P) seem to have chunkier hands than we humans, also have a look at the way the hands are done for the "hulk"…
It could be better, I honestly can't tell why but it's bothering me, it's not bad, that's good. But it could be a lot better, it might be the fact the background is pure black that's holding it back, maybe a darker blue (really dark) or medium or dark grey would be better. It looks like (from the AO) that you're using…
