The biggest differences lie in the mobile vs desktop versions of the chips. Generally speaking, laptop i5s and i7s are either 2 or 4 cores (i7 has hyper threading meaning a 'phantom' 4/8 cores respectively)) and desktop i5 and i7 are 4 or 6 cores (i7 has hyper threading so 8 or 12 cores). Afaik there wasn't any 2 core…
Yup, trends always evolve - and it seems pretty normal to me that something growing in popularity eventually becomes it's own dedicated sub-genre. Similarly to what Jimmy mentionned earlier, I personally have zero problem with that. Why would anyone concern onself with the misinformed views of others about ones hobby ?…
I fear you are beginning to take this discussion personally; which is not my intention at all. I am firmly convinced that you have made a mistake in setting up your grid/export which I would like to sort outespecially if one of us happens to be spreading misinformation to other users. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm…
I see what you are saying :) I suppose it can sound complicated because of how much misinformation there is out there ? For instance I am not sure what you mean by garbage tangents ... By less complicated I meant, less of a convoluted process, not relying on "tips and tricks". But yeah I agree that some of the concepts may…
Ahh, well this maul is actually my first foray into baking maps, I definitely messed up here and there, but it'll look better after I work on the diffuse. Learning the workflow for making game assets, and having a good end result is a good enough goal for me. Sorry if I accidentally spread misinformation, but the technique…
Hi Steve, and thanks for joining the conversation. Since we seem to be mostly focusing on American locale and law here, I'll stick to that. Yes, I have some pretty strong views on unions. Most of them aren't flattering, but I've worked hard to ensure that they're not based on misinformation or assumptions. I guess the…
Oops, you're right, I thought Gnomon had fallen back on their tutorial content, and prioritized more their Academic training. My apologize for the misinformation good Sir. It seems like that is not the case as such (although their 3D stuff still chugs very slowly and is pretty spasmodic at best). True, but they do have the…
What I am also having troubles with is the terminology. I used Albedo on the thread title, but there is also discussion if this should be the term at all. Some still say diffuse, or base color like Allegorithmic. Also this confusion between roughness,smoothness,glossiness. I think there should be a common language defined…
I think I've got more than four left on my motherboard, so that's not a problem. But buying something from the US isn't very safe or economic, and I besides I was wrong. Here in my country, 32GB of DDR4 Ram would cost around 165US dollars and it's faster since it's bought locally and you also get a warranty. So it's…
