Bored and decided to put together two builds. 4 core (8HT), 16GB ram. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tyDxkL 6 core (12HT), 32GB DDR4 ram. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VmdmRB If you live near a microcenter, you can get the 5820K for $300 and the MSI X99 SLI for $175. With the second build you shouldn't have to close out anything. I…
Thanks! Glad you dig them. More is definitely on the way, now that I've nailed down the process I can move a bit quicker. Gave a few new colors a whirl, not sure I like them better than the gold. These sculptures are the same as some of the previous, just destroyed further. It can be hard to decide how much I want to tear…
'Nother update. I painted the handle and did some work on the low res version. Without the blades it sits at 320 tris. I still need to tweak some parts of the handle to avoid getting detail lost on the normal map bake. I'm still not digging the pommel. I'm going to get together some more reference and brainstorm to see if…
Yeah if you have no problem waiting 6 months, prices on just about everything are sure to fall, SSD prices are probably going to be even more attractive than they are now, HDD prices might level back out after the huge spike from the Thailand flooding. Ram is likely to still be dirt cheap. The 2600K might not drop too…
Absolutelly gorgeous, i`ve been enjoying this game since it came out, more that 300 hours of gameplay so far, and don`t get bored of the amazing art. Correct me if i`m wrong but are most of the enviroment assets and modular pieces just beveled meshes using some sort of vertex normals and tilling textues? My favourites…
AFAIK Even if you where to purchase a license now, after making the assets, you technically wouldn't be able to sell the assets made on a student version. Ever. Importing your models into blender and out again to void the student water mark is a big no as well. You can look into Maya LT its like $30 a month, no lock in…
I'm also looking forward to this. My b-day is coming up soon and I'm planning on getting this. By the way, If you want a guitar, you're going to want to spend more than $200-$300 on one. Those guitars are junk. I have a BC Rich Warlock with EMG pickups (81/85 setup) that I paid $800 for and it plays very nicely. Don't get…
I think 8 gb will be enough for me. My previous computer had 8 gb and I was comfortable with that(The mobo and the graphics card failed and I sold the other parts to pay my debts.) I don't need to bake maps very fast or run lots of applications simultaneously. I love SSDs as they don't make any sound at all in addition to…
I'm back yet again with some bricks! After having spent almost 300 hours in Substance Designer since I started here (and 200 more since my last attempt), I feel like I should re-visit all of the challenges! That's right, I'm going through all of them again! This is merely one of the variants that can be created with my…
In other words, can you select a group of polies and make an island UV map of it. something like this: http://static.creativecrash.com/tutorialimages/307/tutorial5.jpg Where you can cut and heal the UVs, according to your understanding? I never used this product but since it looks userfriendly, I assume its easier than…
