Re: Macbook Pro Retina for 3D work? Fan noise?
MBP's regardless of GPU option will be able to power a second (and third?) screen. what i meant was that if you go with a dedicated GPU model you can ONLY connect external screens through that, so not really feasible to disable the discrete GPU should you not want to use it. on mine i have to jank out the monitor cable and… -
Re: thoughts on Linux?
Greetings!! I've been meaning to post in your thread to give my two cents worth of opinion. I have been using Linux OSes often and they are more efficient in development process of many products, networking, etc. There is however an issue of communication between the OSes; Linux to Linux and Linux to Windows. For example… -
Re: A question about GLSL shaders
Thanks for that reply. You are totally right, I think I have been completely mislead by poorly written online tutorials. I thought I had to manipulate the UVs themselves rather then the individual pixels, which makes far more sense. I guess I am more artistically minded than mathematically minded so I have been learning… -
Re: Macbook good for 3D Modeling?
I don't think the modbook pro is available yet - just pre-orders. The first one that was based off the old macbooks looked pretty good as a tablet pc - 512 levels of pressure, which is more than any other tablet pc I think. The original intuos tablet only had 512 and I used that for years. I heard there were some design… -
Re: [CE3] Lightbox CE3 - Model Presentation Studio
I understand that this is a lightbox, but using a big white box to show off how an engine will render your assets doesn't make much sense for Cryengine. It's like showing off an environment you built in UDK with only baking direct lighting. For example, If you want to show off hard surface assets, you want to have more… -
Re: 60 Minutes poopoo'd on Career Colleges, Art Inst?
Basically, I'm taking classes at Watts to get away from that linear caligraphy type drawing I do.....I'm trying to learn color, hues and contrast, instead of linear drawing/form. Not to say learning how to draw form is not important, but it doesn't end there. Ron Lemen and is wife Venessa were the showcase instructors at… -
Re: Quake 4 demo available!
actually this tbird 950mhz runs everything i run (THAT RUNS, including doom3 at 1024x768x32 on high) on it fine. I've completed modern games on this and I don't want notebooks as they tend to wear out easily for me. Bad thing is getting a upgrade now means a big chain reaction of upgrades especially for the AGP-scrapped… -
Re: Sketchbook
Alright, I'm back with some more exploration sketches and ideas. I'm liking the direction of the animalistic designs. They all need a lot of work, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to build on. Which one embodies the concept of "Lust" the most? Do I need to explore different ideas even further, or start… -
Re: Max to Z brush to Max again
I am not exactly sure what you are doing but, the best process is to detail (make) your model in ZBrush, export it to Max (can be a decimated version, build your lowpoly cage on top of the template (imported model from ZBrush). When your lowpoly cage is complete then do it's UVS in Max. Export the hirez model from ZBrush… -
Re: General questions I haven't found answers for...
Thanks again man. Been playing around with stuff, and I understand what you mean now. I just need to be careful if I do any photoshop stuff directly because I noticed that if you don't have the material setup for each map type in photoshop then you can't save it as a smart material (it gives errors when it looks for the…
