Re: Substance Designer 3 - 99$ Non-commercial use Licence
the viewport should handle around 400 000 tris without too much lag. The model showing black is either an issue with the obj format (sometimes it seems the texture coordinates don't go through, we need to investigate this, and I recommend using FBX instead. The other issue you could be facing is that the light may be… -
Re: [MAYA] How can I reduce the ridiculous number of tris my hard surface models take up?
For models like this where there are a lot of overlap, there will be wasted space on the UVs whether you use floaters or not. My way will have hidden pixels on each board for each overlap. Splitting everything off will probably have more wasted pixels if you want your textures to have an appropriate amount of padding… -
Re: Let's make a wagon!
Posting a quick update. Optimized the model, making it about 9 400 tris. The tris count might go a bit higher if I decided to add something to the wagon in order to make it more interesting, but it shouldn't go over 10 000 tris. =) For today, I've tried to fix some things on the AO as well as decide a color scheme. I might… -
Re: RAM for my motherboard
You could replace your mobo for around $60-70 that would support +4gig but at that point why? (since you probably would spend $120-150 in total just to up the ram) Since can get a new i3 core setup for around $350-400 (New CPU/Mobo/Ram) it's abit of a coin toss. (also helps if you know the motherboard manufacture and model… -
Re: (NSFW) Silly Female for 3D print
The price is already too high for most people, if I charged more I wouldn't have any client at all. They not only have to pay me, but they also have to pay for the print itself, which can go up to 300-400 bucks for the biggest pieces. When someone wants a higher quality model, like, if they want to sell them, of course I… -
Re: Expanding DBuffer Decals
I misunderstood what you meant in the first post, I thought you were saying you had it ready to go so anyone could easily try it via the download links. I'll look into compiling Unreal and giving it a try in the next few days. Edit: I tried using your link and it's just returning a 404 error, I found your account on… -
Re: Going to College for Game Art
well, I wouldn't use payscale.com as a good reference - it's more like $45-50k and up depending on area. Still, I wouldn't recommend schooling unless the cost was around or under the $40k mark so avoid private for profit schools and look at Community College & State Universities. For the OP, you've already got an AA in… -
Re: Desktop Replacement Laptops
> there seems to be little you can use it for other than the Apple Display which, whilst very nice, is incredibly expensive. I think cinema displays are reasonably priced given their quality. same level alternatives cost roughly the same, and better options by nec/eizo are in $2k + price range. you also can hook up this… -
Re: Mudbox 2009
I do. A lot of 3D sculptors do. You sometimes start out with a basemesh, which turns into something that the basemesh wasn't designed for, and you need to retopologise to get the most out of it. Being able to crank it up to 40M polygons can save you from having to do that. Sure, if I work on something purely personal and… -
Re: I think my Monitor is dying. Suggestions?
