Re: Laptop time (again)
Hawken: I did a quick price comparison between 2 of the notebooks listed here as well as the macbookpro - mostly out of curiosity, and partly because I'm thinking of getting one myself (I bought my gf one and love it, and would much rather have control over my windows install and what extras I put in). Here goes: (all… -
Re: Won't someone think of the children?

Re: I need some buying advice concerning 3D applications and hardware
There used to be ways to convert educational Autodesk licenses into professional licenses for quite a discount. You should look into that. $370ish isn't cheap for a CPU I bought my quad core when it was just below top of the line for ~$240. EDIT: You won't need a pro license to mod games unless you plan to sell the mods,… -
Re: Next Gen consoles and texture sizes

Re: photorealistic textures
Here's a tut I posted in another thread recently. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=46&t=373024 It's a pretty good overview of some of the steps for painting on and embellishing photo textures. A lot of it though just comes down to an artist developing a good eye for what works well. A good way to start to… -
Re: do you enjoy flying?
Per, most commercial airplanes you fly in were manufactured decades ago, or reprinted from designs made decades ago. That is what the other poster was speaking about. The fact is that planes don't really have amazing tech, flight is just a very very simple mechanic. You don't need Autopilot and gauges and garbage to stay… -
