Re: Jaggy edges? Maya
Leave the resolution at 72. Even if you were rendering for print its usually faster for Maya to just render at 3 - 4 times the dimension sizes than it is to render at 300 dpi*. Then go into the Maya Software tab, and change the Quality drop-down to Production Quality. This is a preset that will also change the Edge… -

Re: Buying a work laptop need advice
I cannot recommend my Y series Lenovo enough. I does in fact have a 960m insteaed of a 980m, but damn is it a SOLID laptop (and also 300 less + new instead of open box + 16gb of RAM). I have the Y500, first gen of the line, and 3 years later it still feels and runs new. I do however take very good care of it, it should be… -
Re: Unreal Developer Kit - MASTER THREAD
fortunately i just found a fix. i was messing around with the Static Lighting Level Scale in the world properties, and it was changed back to 1. when i turn it up to 512 or somewhere around there (had it at 800) the random glowing spots are gone. just found a section on it at the UDN… -
Re: Suggestions for new computer setup
My last PC has been a Dell Studio XPS for like $800 (w/o monitor). Held up pretty well. After 2 years I got a new video card. I threw in some SSDs, but they're more for convenience rather than a must to keep it able to work with ZB/UDK/Maya etc. It's still going strong. Will probably last another 2 years. That's my 2nd… -
Re: PC upgrade time!
The difference between a 650 dollar rig and a 800 or 1000 dollar gaming rig is pretty big, you might consider pinching your pennies a bit for a month or two. Anything you set up to maximize your gaming should be more than enough to work with your 3d art these days so just build the gaming rig of your dreams, it'll work all… -
Re: Menlo Park/Redwood City/Palo Alto area?
I'm still relatively new to the area but I live in south San Jose and work in Los Gatos. Both areas I believe aren't too far from Menlo Park/Redwood City/Palo Alto. I do know I'm about 50 miles from San Fran. Los Gatos is crazy overpriced but a really nice area. South San Jose is priced decently well and a nice area to… -
Re: Edmund McMillen is sick/no insurance
You can list it as a "deduction" if you are self-employed, which means about nothing. Maybe it will save you a couple hundred off your taxes. To put this in perspective, my guess for a single plan without employer help based on what I am paying was about $800, and thatnumpty says $900. That is more than the sum total of… -
Re: What are the hipoly source models worth?
If you've got a price tag on the finished low poly model, it seems pretty easy to compare that to the amount of time spent on the high poly model and figure out a reasonable price. If your finished low poly model took 5 days (sans high poly time), was worth $1000, and your high poly model took 4 days, then $800 seems like… -
Re: Weird Squealing
yeah man...i have built a lot of computers and worked for best buys Geek Squad for a while and sometimes it could be a fan but with a big vid card like that you really should spend the extra money on a good power supply from a known manufacturer. I look at it this way. That is what pumps the life into all my parts. If I…
