Re: 17 vs 15 " laptop for game art ?
I put my hands on a few 17" models and they always seemed too big for me for a true mobile solution I could took with me in a backpack rather than drive around in a car. It's like DSLR camera which I own but never use really . Too big and heavy for minimal advantages. And since such a laptop of a class is an expensive… -
Re: DAM soft for 3d files?
Thanks myclay I wonder can XYplorer tag non image files like blender ones? That eagle looks intresting. Does it read standard image keywords too? I think it what myclay meant about XYplorer. I haven't tried it yet. I use Total Commander and with Ctr+Z it allows to write a comments to any kind of file and stores them in… -
Re: Best way to model this?
- Start by taking all the precise measurements you can possibly take (center of mouting holes, diameters, all dimensions you can identify really). - draft/model a basic template based on these dimensions in a CAD software with dimension constraints (I assume that Solidworks and Fusion both do that), or in a more simple… -
Re: 3DS Max 2021.3 viewport selection issues
Well.. GPU testing is mot new anymore. That's why it is off by default. After GPU hit testing is released,. max dev re-did CPU testing. Now CPU hit testing is as fast as GPU, It also has less issue.

Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
@Rorsh Thank you for providing those sample images. The Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR DX is one of their softer kit lenses.

Stopping down to… -

Re: Headphones / Speakers, what are you using?
This is now the headphone / speaker thread. I work from home in a detached house, so normally I listen to these speakers, which I built myself. The monitors are a design by Jeff Bagby called the Continum II. It's based on the classic BBC LS3/5A, a studio monitor design for nearfield listening. You can buy kits to build… -
Re: Northern Campsite
Very nice. I like the mood established with the desaturated textures. If you squint your eyes to blur out the detail, you will see (especially in the first shot) that the character is hard to dsitinguish. (in terms of values especially.) You could play with the values (foreground vs mid ground vs background), to the best…
