Re: Pixar's Motto: Going From Suck to Nonsuck
This part is the one I'm actually most curious about. How do they internally structure their management with this as their core value? Every studio I've ever worked for (or even heard of) have performance evaluations, and multiple layers of management, and approval process that REQUIRES approval of superiors. And isn't… -
Re: Confused by display gamma
Eric: Im guessing your working at a studio, and that being the case, I'd recommend you get a colorimeter, or "monitor calibrator". Greytag MacBeth makes a decent one in the EyeOne system. I've used that. You place the puck on your screen, and it'll go through a wizard and calibrate your display. As long as you set a policy… -
Re: 360 hd-dvd player - anyone pick it up?
[ QUOTE ] I have the KDS-50A2000. It's a 50" model. Previously, I had a 36" SonyWega tube HDTV. [/ QUOTE ] yeah, i used to have a 50 inch tv.. untill the darn thing started having serious convergence problems (in the processing side of the image, not the tubes)... which would have costed too much to fix. recently i bought… -
Re: The decline of civility?
Its odd that never 'really' get angry on line, but am quite the angry type in real life( well only if I am really getting pissed with someone. I am more of the per 128 type in real life ie I tend to speak my mind, but nothing i read online tends to get me 'that' hot under the collar. talking about civility, if I ever pass… -
Re: Magitek Armor (WIP)
Going with one 128^2 map for the majority, and a 64^2 map for the pilot and the legs (those giant feet just wouldn't fit with good enough texel size). UVing is also when I really get to reduce the last bits I can as I'm forced to look at everything closer - managed to take off 32 more polygons with no real visible changes… -
Re: Looking for insight re: Imposter Syndrome
They chose to include you. Just keep going. Feelings come and go. Use them for whatever they are worth. If imposter syndrome drives you to work harder -- good. If it takes you into problematic perfectionism -- bad. If it makes you procrastinate -- turn the brain off, jump into the work. Also, let others judge your work,… -
Re: [BLENDER 2.8] Render map from shader editor
Yes, lowering the samples to 4 will certainly lower the quality. :) You're essentially ray-trace rendering when you bake with cycles so all offline rendering settings apply as usual. For instance, I will bake normal maps with 128-200 samples. Obviously map size affects render times in the same way that render size matters… -
Re: ANSWERED: has official support been suspended?
Chris i fully understand your concerns! We are constantly trying to find the balance between support and development, the release of Megascans for instance have been in the works for many years has required a huge amount of work. We really don´t want you to fear that the tools will never be production ready, the fact that… -
Re: A gameart desktop
If you render and compile a lot and your applications can use all the 8 cores, then the 8 Core Bulldozer is definetly a very cheap and effective choice. Also the new Generation of the Bulldozer has been released lately and is performing better per Mhz (Topmodel at 4.0Ghz). I dont wanna defend the Bulldozer, because i think… -
Re: Cheap Cintiq - Yiynova MSP19
i was a bit sneeking around for a cheap cintiq alternative and ended up searching through the chinese Hanvon website. there i found two - umm lets say "interesting" things. ^^ first one: http://www.hwshuweiban.com/shuweibanchanpin/chuangyiyejiehuihua/2011/0923/92.html looks pretty the same as the dp 10.1 from Yiynova to me…
